Cookie Policy
Last updated: November 3, 2026
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Browser storage works in a similar way. We use both. This page lists every one, what it is for and how long it stays.
2. Necessary
These keep the shop working and card payments safe. They do not need your consent, and you cannot turn them off here.
| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| epl_cart (browser storage) | Your basket: the parts and how many | Until you empty it |
| epl_analytics_consent and epl_preferences_consent (browser storage) | Your cookie choices | Until you change them |
| epl_session (cookie) | Keeps you signed in, only if you sign in | 30 days |
| __stripe_mid (cookie, set by Stripe) | Fraud checks for card payments, on the checkout page only | 1 year |
| __stripe_sid (cookie, set by Stripe) | Fraud checks for card payments, on the checkout page only | 30 minutes |
3. Card payments
Card payments are handled by Stripe. Stripe's script loads only on the checkout page. It sets the two Stripe cookies above to spot card fraud. Inside the card form, Stripe may also use cookies on its own website, as its cookie policy explains. These are needed for a safe card payment, so they do not wait for your consent.
4. Preferences (only if you turn them on)
| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| epl_recently_viewed (browser storage) | The last 10 parts you viewed, so you can find them again | Until you turn Preferences off |
5. Analytics (only if you turn them on)
| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_WY86WWNK16 (cookies) | Google Analytics: tells visits apart to count them | 2 years |
Google Analytics runs only if you turn on Analytics. Until then no Google script is loaded. It is provided by Google Ireland Limited. Google LLC in the United States may also process the data, under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. We use it for statistics only. Its advertising features are switched off. Its statistics are kept for 2 months, then deleted.
6. Visit counting without cookies
We also count visits with Umami. It runs on our own server in the EU and sets no cookies. It records the pages viewed, the website you came from, your country, region and city, your device, browser, system, screen size and language. It works out the place from your IP address and does not store the address. It also counts the shop steps: a part viewed, added to the basket, checkout started, order paid.
7. Changing your choice
Open "Cookie settings" at the bottom of any page and change your choice. Turning Analytics off removes the Google Analytics cookies. Turning Preferences off removes the list of parts you viewed. You can also delete cookies in your browser. If you delete the necessary ones, your basket is emptied.
