Cookies & browser storage

The short version

Essential storage always runs (it's what makes the site work). Analytics and advertising cookies only run if you choose Accept all on the consent banner. Until then, analytics is cookieless and no advertising pixel loads at all. You can change your mind any time by clearing site data.

Essential storage (always on)

• fancy-store(localStorage): your gallery ID, the currently selected costume, your pet's name, cart, and which currency you've chosen. Keeps your place if you refresh or come back later.
• fancy-currency-detected-v2(localStorage): a flag set after we've detected your currency once, so we don't repeatedly ping our currency-detection endpoint on every page load.
• fancy-consent-v1(localStorage): your cookie- banner choice, so we don't ask again.

Analytics · PostHog

We use PostHog to understand how the site is used (which pages are visited, where the flow loses people). Until you accept the banner, PostHog runs in cookielessmode: events exist only for the current page session and no identifier is stored in your browser. If you choose “Accept all”, PostHog sets a first-party cookie so we can tell returning visitors apart.

Advertising · Meta (Facebook) Pixel

If you choose “Accept all”, the Meta Pixel loads and sets Meta cookies (_fbp, and _fbc if you arrived from a Facebook/Instagram ad). We use it to measure whether our ads work and to avoid showing ads to people who already bought. If you choose “Just essentials”, or you're in a consent region and haven't chosen yet. The pixel never loads. Details are in the privacy policy.

Third-party cookies

On checkout pages where Stripe's payment form loads inside an iframe, Stripe may set its own cookies to secure your payment and prevent fraud. Those cookies are governed by Stripe's privacy policy. We don't read them and we can't turn them off, they are essential for the payment to work safely.

How to clear it

You can clear everything Fancy Pet stores at any time by clearing your browser's site data for fancy.pet: usually under Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data. Clearing storage will sign you out of any in-progress gallery and reset your currency choice.
