What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work correctly and to provide information to website owners.
Our Approach to Cookies
We use only essential cookies — those strictly necessary for this website to function. We do not use tracking, analytics, or advertising cookies at this time. We do not serve third-party advertising.
Cookies and Storage We Use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| payload-token | Session cookie | Keeps you logged in to the Cutting Etch Designs admin panel. This cookie is only set when an authorised admin user logs in to the backend; it is not set for regular website visitors. | Session (cleared on logout) |
| ced_cookie_consent | localStorage flag | Records that you have accepted our cookie notice so the banner is not shown on subsequent visits. Stored in your browser’s localStorage (not a cookie, but serves the same purpose). | Persistent (until you clear browser data) |
No other cookies or tracking scripts are placed on your device by this website.
Third-Party Services
When you make a payment, you are redirected to a Stripe-hosted checkout page. Stripe may set their own cookies during the payment process. Stripe’s cookie and privacy practices are governed by their privacy policy at stripe.com/gb/privacy.
Our website is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may collect anonymised infrastructure logs (IP addresses, request metadata) for operational purposes. These are not used for marketing and are not shared with us in personally identifiable form.
Managing and Disabling Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete existing cookies. Disabling the essential cookies listed above will not prevent you from browsing this website, but may affect the admin login functionality.
To remove the cookie consent record, clear your browser’s localStorage for this site (available in your browser’s developer tools under “Application” or “Storage”).
