Cookies, and what each one does

1. What a cookie is

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. It can remember that you are signed in, what is in your cart, or which choices you made.

2. The cookies we use

Needed for the site to work

These do not need your agreement, because without them the site cannot do what you ask.

Cookie	Set by	What it is for	How long
_astro_session	MyAstroBook	Keeps you signed in and remembers your place, such as your cart, while you use the site. If you came through someone's link, it also remembers who sent you, so we can count which links bring people.	Until you close the browser
remember_user_token	MyAstroBook	Keeps you signed in on this device if you choose to stay signed in.	Six months
user	MyAstroBook	Remembers who you are in this browser, so your birth charts and orders stay yours even without an account.	One year
horoscopes	MyAstroBook	Remembers the birth charts you calculated in this browser, so you can come back to them.	One year
guest	MyAstroBook	Remembers the email address you last gave us, so you do not have to type it again.	One year
lang	MyAstroBook	Remembers the language you chose.	One year
currency	MyAstroBook	Remembers the currency prices are shown in.	One year
cookie_consent	MyAstroBook	Remembers which cookies you agreed to, so we do not ask on every visit.	One year
__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid	Stripe	Set when you pay, to prevent fraud and make the payment secure.	One year, 30 minutes

Analytics

These count visits and show us which pages help, so we can improve them. They are used only if you agree.

Cookie	Set by	What it is for	How long
_ga, _ga_*	Google Analytics	Tells visits apart and counts them, with no name attached.	Up to two years

Stripe, which takes card payments, and Google or Facebook, if you use them to sign in, may set cookies of their own in their own payment form or sign-in page. Their own cookie policies apply to those.

Advertising

These let Meta and Google tell which of our adverts led to a visit or an order, and show our adverts to people who visited. They are used only if you agree, and they are told nothing that names you: no name, email address, address or birth details.

Cookie	Set by	What it is for	How long
_fbp, _fbc	Meta (Facebook and Instagram)	Tells which of our adverts on Facebook and Instagram led to a visit or an order.	Up to three months
_gcl_*	Google	Tells which of our Google adverts led to a visit or an order.	Up to three months

Your choice

Your cookie choice is kept in a cookie of its own, cookie_consent, so we do not ask on every visit.

3. Changing your mind

A banner asks on your first visit, and you can open it again from "Cookie settings" at the foot of any page. Saying no never stops you using the site or buying.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser. Then the site will not remember you, and you will have to sign in each time. How to do it: Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. To stop Google Analytics in every browser, use Google's opt-out add-on.

4. Who is responsible

Zavod Artisa, Zvezda 18, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia. Questions: [email protected]. How we handle your data besides cookies is in the privacy policy.
