List of cookies we collect

Here are the cookies we collect as of the time of this policy. (Cookies may be updated from time-to-time by the platform developer.

• GUEST-VIEW:Links a guest order to a guest (because there is no account for guest).
• LOGIN_REDIRECT:Saves redirect URL to route user if successful login and user registration. Saves the page that a user was on prior to log in (to determine the location they will go back to after they log in).
• MAGE-MESSAGES:Tracks error messages and other notifications that are shown to the user, such as the cookie consent message, and various error messages. The message is deleted from the cookie after it is shown to the shopper. There is not an option to disable this cookie. This is how one-time information is communicated to the user, such as error messages.
• PRODUCT_DATA_STORAGE (LOCAL STORAGE):Stores configuration for product data used to use “Recently Viewed” and “Compare Products” functions. Stores a user’s specific settings (for example, if they have recently viewed a product or compared products).
• RECENTLY_COMPARED_PRODUCT (LOCAL STORAGE):Stores product IDs of recently compared products.
• RECENTLY_COMPARED_PRODUCT_PREVIOUS (LOCAL STORAGE):Stores product IDs of previously compared products for easy navigation.
• RECENTLY_VIEWED_PRODUCT (LOCAL STORAGE):Stores product IDs of recently viewed products for easy navigation.
• RECENTLY_VIEWED_PRODUCT_PREVIOUS (LOCAL STORAGE):Stores product IDs of recently viewed products for easy navigation.
• STF:Records the time messages are sent by the SendFriend (Email a Friend) module. When a shopper sends a link to a product, this cookie records a time-stamp and maintains a count.
• X-MAGENTO-VARY:Indicates when a new version of a page needs to be served from the cache. Supports website performance.
• FORM_KEY:A security mechanism that holds a randomly generated value to prevent Cross Site Request Forgery attacks (CSRF) by helping determine whether a request came from a genuine source or a bad actor. This is an industry-standard practice to prevent CSRF attacks.
• MAGE-CACHE-SESSID:Useful in determining when to clean local storage in the browser after session expiry. This is used to determine if local storage has to be cleaned. The absence of this cookie triggers local storage cleanup.
• MAGE-CACHE-STORAGE:Local storage of visitor-specific content that enables e-commerce functions. Unused by default, but when it is used, it’s used to expedite checkout so that basic user information is available when someone leaves and returns.
• MAGE-CACHE-STORAGE-SECTION-INVALIDATION:Stores information related to which sections of the page need to be invalidated and removed.
• PERSISTENT_SHOPPING_CART:Stores the key ID of a persistent cart to make it possible to restore the cart for an anonymous shopper.
• PRIVATE_CONTENT_VERSION:Appends a random, unique number and time to pages with customer content to prevent them from being cached on the server. It is set in multiple places: in PHP, in JavaScript as a cookie, and in JavaScript to local storage.
• SECTION_DATA_IDS:Stores customer-specific information related to shopper-initiated actions, such as wish list display and checkout information.
• STORE:Tracks the specific store view/locale selected by the shopper.
• PHPSESSID:Tracks user sessions on the storefront. This is the shoppers who use the end-products.
• ADMIN:Tracks user sessions on the Admin side.
