One, and only if you pay or ask for letters

MondeStyle sets one cookie, and only when you press a button that takes you to payment, or tick “Send me three letters” and send your result. It is called ms_sid. It holds a random number and nothing about you, and no script on the page can read it. Your browser keeps it for a year, and each time you come back it is renewed – so a subscription you pay for does not lock you out after a month.

It is how our server matches the payment Paddle confirms to this browser, so what you bought opens here. That is strictly necessary for something you asked for, which is why there is no consent banner: there is nothing optional to agree to. It also lets a subscription bought in this browser stop the three letters, since the last of them describes the subscription. If you never pay and never ask for letters, we set no cookie at all.

In Paddle's window

When you pay, Paddle's own window opens over our payment page. It is Paddle's, loaded from Paddle, and Paddle sets its own cookies in it under its own cookie policy. Paddle's script loads on that one page only, after you have pressed a button to pay.

What we do use

Your answers sit in your browser’s local storage, on your device. That is not a cookie: it is never sent to us, no other site can read it, and clearing your browser data removes it.

What that means

• A different browser or device starts again. Your answers live on this device, and a subscription opens in the browser you paid in.
• A private window forgets everything when you close it.
• Settings, then Reset clears it now.
