Cookie Policy
Last updated 2026-10-04 · Last reviewed 2026-10-04
Before you accept optional analytics, we set zero first-party cookies. What follows is an honest inventory of what this site may store in your browser, plus what Amazon does on its own account once you click an affiliate link.
What Weird Girl Store stores
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
weirdgirlstore_analytics_consent | localStorage (not a cookie) | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so the banner doesn't nag you every visit. | Until you clear it, via "Cookie preferences" in the footer, or your browser's site-data settings |
_ga | First-party cookie, only after Accept | Distinguishes users for aggregate Google Analytics 4 reporting | 2 years by default, subject to browser limits |
_ga_DQ2B7ZK6Q3 | First-party cookie, only after Accept | Persists session state for this site's GA4 property | 2 years by default, subject to browser limits |
The consent value stays in your browser and holds only "true" or"false". The two GA4 cookies are not created unless you accept.
Why localStorage instead of a cookie
A cookie that tracks consent-to-cookies is a small irony we'd rather skip. localStorage does the same job (persists across visits, survives a reload) without being transmitted to a server on every request the way a cookie is. Simpler, and arguably more private by default.
Analytics
Google Analytics 4 is installed in basic consent mode: its script is not requested and no data is sent to Google until you accept. If you do, it measures aggregate page use and affiliate-link clicks. Google Signals and ad-personalization signals are disabled in the site's configuration.
Amazon's cookies
Product links on every listing route to Amazon.com carrying our Associates tag. Amazon sets its own cookies on amazon.com, not on this domain. They're not readable or writable by Weird Girl Store, and they follow Amazon's own cookie and privacy policies, not this one. Their purpose (as documented by Amazon) is standard: session handling, cart state, and affiliate-referral attribution so commissions get credited correctly.
Cloudflare
This site is served through Cloudflare's network. Cloudflare may set operational cookies for security purposes (e.g. bot-mitigation, DDoS protection) on some requests; these are infrastructure-level and not used by Weird Girl Store for tracking or advertising.
Managing your choice
Click "Cookie preferences" in the footer of any page to remove the stored consent value and this site's GA4 cookies, then see the banner again. You can also clear site data manually in your browser by searching for weirdgirlstore.com.
