Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Star Shop uses cookies and similar browser storage. We keep it minimal - we use storage to run the store, not to track you across the web.

Star Shop relies on a small number of strictly-necessary items:

• a session cookie (HttpOnly) that keeps you signed in - it holds an opaque session id, not your personal details, and can be revoked from your account;
• a short-lived state cookie used only during Discord sign-in to protect against cross-site request forgery.

These are essential to sign-in and checkout and cannot be turned off while using those features.

We also use your browser's local storage (not cookies) for a couple of conveniences:

• your cart before you sign in, so items you add as a guest aren't lost;
• a referral code, if you arrived through someone's referral link, so it can be applied when you sign up.

This data stays in your browser and is cleared when it's no longer needed (for example, after your guest cart is merged into your account).

We do not use third-party advertising cookies, and we do not sell data to advertisers. Any analytics we use are limited to understanding aggregate usage and keeping the service reliable.

You can clear or block cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Note that blocking the session cookie will prevent you from signing in or completing checkout. Clearing local storage will empty a guest cart or forget a referral code.

We may update this Cookie Policy as the service evolves. Material changes take effect when posted with a new effective date. Questions can be raised through our support channel.
