1. What cookies and storage do
A cookie is a small text file saved by a website in your browser. Browser storage keeps information in your browser too. Necessary technologies support the shop services described below.
Google Analytics measures visits, product interest and purchases only after you accept it. Shopping, sign in and payment do not depend on analytics.
2. Current inventory
The names and expiry periods below describe the current Here’s A Gift website implementation. A provider may also set its own technology on a separate page, such as Stripe’s hosted checkout. That provider’s own notice applies to its page.
| Name | Provider and type | Purpose | Typical duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
__Host-hag_customer | Here’s A Gift, cookie | Keeps a signed-in customer session available. | Up to 1 hour | Necessary |
__Host-hag_guest | Here’s A Gift, cookie | Links a guest checkout to its browser. | Up to 24 hours | Necessary |
__Host-hag_login | Here’s A Gift, cookie | Remembers the email while sign in is completed. | Up to 10 minutes | Necessary |
__Host-hag_oauth | Here’s A Gift, cookie | Protects the short OAuth sign in exchange. | Up to 10 minutes | Necessary |
hag-checkout-draft | Here’s A Gift, session storage | Retains the current design while you review checkout. | Until the tab or session ends | Necessary |
hag-template-published | Here’s A Gift, local storage | Shows the owner or administrator that a design refresh is available. | Until replaced or cleared | Necessary for administration |
3. Stripe checkout
When you continue to payment, Stripe hosts the secure payment page. Stripe may use cookies or similar technologies on that page for payment, fraud prevention, security and its own service operations. We do not control the exact technologies Stripe uses there. Read Stripe’s information shown on its checkout page and its cookie policy for details.
Payment card details are entered into Stripe’s payment facilities, not into Here’s A Gift’s own pages.
4. Optional analytics and your choices
Google Analytics remains off until you choose Accept analytics. It uses _ga and _ga_* cookies to distinguish visits, with a maximum cookie lifetime of six months in our configuration. Our hag_analytics_consent_v2 preference remembers acceptance or rejection for up to six months. After acceptance, a short-lived session queue carries safe shopping events between pages, and local purchase references prevent duplicate measurement for up to six months.
We send safe page paths, referring website domains, approved campaign labels, product identifiers and amounts. We do not send customer names, contact details, addresses, photos, personalised wording, form contents or arbitrary URL parameters. Advertising features are disabled.
Use Cookie Settings to accept or turn off Analytics. Turning it off stops new measurement and clears Analytics cookies and queued events on this browser. It does not erase data already received by Google. Clearing necessary browser storage may sign you out or remove your basket.
