Cookie Information
This page explains how this website uses cookies. It reflects the site as it operates today and will be updated if that changes. Last updated: 27 October 2026.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be used for purposes ranging from making a website function correctly to tracking browsing behaviour across sites.
Analytics, advertising and tracking
This website does not use Google Analytics or any other analytics service, and it does not use advertising, marketing or tracking cookies. Our pages do not load content from other companies' servers: everything you see, including scripts and styles, comes from our own server. The Facebook and YouTube icons are ordinary links - nothing is sent to those services unless you click them.
Visitor statistics
We count page views on our own server, so that we can see which pages are read, which language sites are used and roughly where our visitors come from. This counting uses no cookies and stores nothing on your device. Your IP address is never stored: it is used only for a moment to work out your country and to make an anonymous code that changes every day, so a visit cannot be linked to you or to your visits on other days. Page views are kept for 90 days; after that only daily totals remain. The figures stay on our server and are not shared with anyone.
Cookies we use
We only use the following cookies. They make the site, or a feature you choose to use, work - none of them is used to track you.
| Cookie | What it does | When it is set | How long it is kept |
|---|---|---|---|
SESS… / SSESS… | Keeps you logged in and remembers your shopping cart and your chosen currency. | When you log in, add something to the cart or choose a currency. | About 23 days, or until you log out. |

Payments
If you choose to pay with PayPal, PayPal's payment window is loaded at checkout, and PayPal may set its own cookies that are needed to process your payment. These are covered by PayPal's own privacy statement.
If you pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, the payment form of our payment provider Stripe is loaded at checkout. Stripe may set its own cookies that are needed to process your payment securely and to prevent fraud. These are covered by Stripe's own privacy policy.
YouTube videos
Some of the stories in Our History show our own older videos from YouTube. A video is not loaded until you click its play button: until then you only see a picture stored on our own server, and nothing is sent to YouTube. When you click play, the video is loaded from YouTube's privacy-enhanced service (youtube-nocookie.com). YouTube (Google) then receives your IP address and may store information on your device, as described in Google's privacy policy.
Consent
All cookies listed above are either strictly necessary for the website or needed for a feature you have asked for (logging in, the shopping cart, the radio). Cookies of this kind do not require consent, which is why this website does not show a cookie banner.
Managing cookies
You can view, block or delete cookies in your browser's settings. If you block or delete them, you may be logged out, your shopping cart may be emptied, and the radio will forget its place and volume.
Future changes
If MISOLIMA introduces non-essential analytics, advertising, marketing, or embedded third-party services in the future, this Cookie Information page - along with our Privacy Policy and any necessary consent arrangements - will be reviewed and updated accordingly.
