Cookies and local storage

We use your browser's local storage (not cookies) for four things: • your shopping bag, so it survives a refresh; • your chosen currency; • your choice on the Meta pixel switch, if you used it; • after you pay, the payment reference of your order, so the order is counted only once, even if you reload the confirmation page. All of it stays on your own device, is readable only by this website, and is never sent to us or to anyone else. We set one cookie of our own: NEXT_LOCALE remembers the language you last used (only de, fr or en) for one year, so albelys.ch opens in that language on your next visit.

On visits from Switzerland, the Meta pixel sets _fbp (a random identifier) and, if you arrive from a Meta ad, _fbc (the click identifier). Both last 90 days. They let Meta tell whether a visit or an order came from one of our ads. The details, and the switch to turn it off, are in section 5 of the privacy policy.

Clearing your browser's site data for albelys.ch removes all of it: your bag empties and the Meta cookies are deleted. If you had switched the pixel off, that choice is forgotten too, so simply switch it off again.

When you go to pay, Stripe may set cookies on its own checkout pages for fraud prevention and to keep the payment session working. Those are strictly necessary for the payment to happen and are governed by Stripe's privacy policy.

No Google Analytics and no analytics cookies: our visitor statistics count visits without cookies and store nothing in your browser (privacy policy, section 6). No TikTok or Google advertising pixels. No third-party cookies apart from the two Meta cookies above. No fingerprinting. Our fonts are self-hosted, so no request is made to Google when you load a page.

If we ever add another tool, we update this page and the privacy policy first.
