Cookie policy
Last updated: 11 June 2026
This policy explains how ModernShapeWorks (ModernShapeWorks S.L.) uses cookies and similar technologies on modernshapeworks.com. It forms part of our privacy policy and should be read together with it.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Cookies are used to remember preferences, keep sessions stable, and sometimes to understand how a site is used. Some are deleted when you close the browser (session cookies); others persist for a defined period (persistent cookies).
2. Cookies we set
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
msw_sid | Essential | PHP session cookie — protects the contact form and keeps your visit stable across pages. | Session (deleted when you close the browser) |
msw_csrf | Essential | Cryptographic token that prevents forged form submissions on contact and checkout. | Session |
msw_lang | Functional | Remembers your chosen language (English or Spanish) for return visits. | 1 year |
_msw_an | Analytics (opt-in) | Anonymous identifier used to understand which posts are read. Only set after acceptance. | 180 days |
3. Local storage
In addition to cookies we store one small entry in your browser's localStorage under the key msw_cookie_consent_v1. It records your choice on the cookie banner so we don't show it again. It is never sent to our servers.
4. Third-party cookies
We do not embed third-party cookies for advertising, social media, or similar. When you proceed to checkout you are redirected to Stripe's domain (checkout.stripe.com) — at that point Stripe's own cookies apply under the Stripe cookie policy.
5. Your choice
The first time you visit, a banner appears with two buttons: Accept cookies or Decline. Essential and functional cookies are set either way (they are strictly necessary); the analytics cookie is only set if you accept. You can change your mind at any time by clearing site data in your browser and choosing again when the banner reappears.
6. Managing cookies in your browser
All browsers let you view and delete cookies from their settings. Official guides:
7. Changes
If we change the cookies we set or the purposes for which we use them, we'll update this page and the "last updated" date. Material changes are communicated by email to active clients.
