Last updated: March 19, 2026
GDPR & PECR compliant cookie management

This Cookie Policy explains how The Memorial Garden ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website or use our services (collectively, the "Service"). We only use cookies that are strictly necessary to provide the Service — we do not use analytics or advertising cookies.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners. Cookies can be "session" cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted).

Similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags), local storage, and scripts also collect and store information about your interactions with the Service. For simplicity, we refer to all these technologies as "cookies" in this policy.

2. How We Use Cookies

We only use strictly necessary cookies — those required for the Service to function. Specifically:

  • Essential Cookies: Set by Stripe during payment checkout for fraud detection and security. These are required to process payments safely.

Your login session is managed via your browser's local storage (not cookies). We do not use analytics, marketing, or any other non-essential tracking technologies.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

The table below details the specific cookies we use, their purpose, duration, and whether they are first‑party or third‑party.

Cookie NamePurposeDurationType
__stripe_mid, __stripe_sidStripe fraud detection — set during payment checkout only1 year / SessionEssential / Third‑party (Stripe)

Stripe cookies are only set when you proceed to payment checkout. If you do not make a purchase, no cookies are placed on your device.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Only one third‑party service sets cookies on your device:

  • Stripe: Processes payments. Stripe sets cookies during checkout for fraud detection and security purposes. See the Stripe Privacy Policy for details.

Supabase (our authentication provider) stores your session in your browser's local storage rather than cookies. We do not use analytics providers, social media trackers, or advertising networks.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals. As a result, we do not currently alter our data collection and use practices in response to DNT signals.

However, we respect your choices regarding cookies as described in this policy. You can use the cookie management options above to control tracking via cookies.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the Service itself. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.

We will notify you of material changes by posting a prominent notice on the Service or, where appropriate, sending you an email. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Cookie Policy.
