4. Third-party services
When you make a payment you are redirected to Stripe’s secure checkout. Stripe may set its own cookies on its own domain to process the payment and prevent fraud — we do not set or control those cookies. See Stripe’s cookie policy. Visitor country shown in our internal analytics is derived from your IP address at visit time and is not stored as a cookie.
5. Managing cookies
Use the “Manage cookies” link in the footer to change your choice, or clear cookies in your browser settings. Declining analytics cookies does not affect access to the service.
