Cookie Policy
Most cookie policies are long because most sites track you. Ours is short because we don't: essential checkout cookies, cookieless analytics, and that's the list.
Effective date: July 17, 2026 · Applies to adamleather.com, operated by Adam Leatherworks, a brand of Hijaz Ventures Inc.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser so it can remember something between pages or visits — a login, a preference, or in our case, checkout security. They’re controlled by your browser, and you can see or delete them at any time.
The cookies we use
Only essential cookies, set by our payment processor when you begin checkout:
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| __stripe_mid | Stripe | Fraud prevention and payment security during checkout | ~1 year |
| __stripe_sid | Stripe | Fraud prevention for the current checkout session | ~30 minutes |
These exist to keep payments safe and fraud out. Because they’re essential to completing a purchase, they don’t require consent banners — and blocking them will break checkout.
What we deliberately don't use
- No advertising cookies.We don’t run retargeting pixels, ad-network tags, or social-media trackers.
- No cross-site tracking. Our analytics (Vercel Analytics) are cookieless — aggregated page-view counts with no persistent identifier following you around the web.
- No third-party data sales. Covered in the Privacy Policy, but worth repeating.
Your cart lives on your device
Your shopping cart uses your browser’s session storage — not a cookie. It stays on your device, is never sent to our servers, and clears itself when your browser session ends.
Managing cookies
Every major browser lets you inspect, block, or delete cookies in its privacy settings (usually under “Privacy and security”). Blocking all cookies will prevent Stripe’s checkout from working on this and every other site that uses it — browsing and reading remain fully functional either way.
If we ever add a cookie, this page and its effective date change first. Related: Privacy Policy · Terms of Service.
