Cookies & storage
The small bits of browser storage that keep this experience working.
Essential storage
Retail Therapy guest count: a signed, first-party, HTTP-only cookie named rt_james_guest_v1 tracks up to five guest messages. It expires after one year. A matching local storage value remembers the count in this browser and remains until you clear it. Clearing browser data can reset these values.
Supabase authentication: when you sign in, the Supabase browser client stores session information locally so you remain signed in. Signing out removes the active session from this browser.
Preferences and location
Your current category filter, conversation and displayed currency region are kept only in page memory during this visit. The currency uses the hosting platform’s approximate country when available, then your browser’s region. We do not request precise device location.
Analytics and advertising
This version does not set Retail Therapy advertising or analytics cookies. If those tools are added later, we will update this notice and provide any choices required for them.
Managing storage
You can clear cookies and local site data in your browser settings. This may sign you out and reset your guest James message count. Contact: [email to be supplied].
