Cookie Policy

This page lists every cookie and similar technology used on stalonsilencer.com, what each one is for, who set it and how long it stays. It is written to be read, not to be scrolled past.

What a cookie is

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to keep. Some are read only by us, some are read by the company that provided a service we use. The same rules apply to similar techniques that store data in your browser, such as local storage — where we use those, they are listed here too.

What we need your permission for

Cookies that are necessary for the site to work are set without asking, because the site cannot be delivered without them. Everything else — statistics, session recordings and advertising measurement — is set only if you allow it. You are asked once, and nothing in the necessary category depends on your answer.

Rejecting has no consequence on this site. There is no content, price or function behind the banner.

Changing your mind

Your answer is stored in a cookie for six months, after which you are asked again. You can change it whenever you like:

The cookies, category by category

Necessary

Keeps the basket, the chosen language, the login and the spam protection on our forms working, and remembers this choice of yours. The site cannot be used without them, so they are not optional.

  • PHPSESSID Set by: stalonsilencer.com Session Ties your page requests together while you are on the site. Deleted when you close the browser. Session cookie
  • wp_woocommerce_session_* Set by: stalonsilencer.com 2 days Holds your basket and checkout details while you shop without an account. Cookie
  • woocommerce_cart_hash Set by: stalonsilencer.com Session Tells the site the basket has changed so the cart total is not shown from cache. Cookie
  • woocommerce_items_in_cart Set by: stalonsilencer.com Session Tells the site whether the basket is empty. Cookie
  • wp-wpml_current_language Set by: stalonsilencer.com 1 day Remembers the language you are reading the site in. Cookie

  • wordpress_logged_in_*, wp-settings-* Set by: stalonsilencer.com Session – 1 year Only set for our own staff when they log in to edit the site. Cookie

Functional

Lets content from other services load: the dealer map and videos from YouTube. Without this, those areas show a button you press to load them.

  • No cookies Set by: openfreemap.org The dealer map loads its map images from OpenFreeMap. No cookie is set, but your IP address reaches their servers. Cookie
  • No cookies until you press play Set by: youtube-nocookie.com Videos are loaded from YouTube in no-cookie mode and only when you press play. Cookie

Statistics

Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity, which tell us which pages are read, what is searched for and where people give up. Clarity also records mouse movement and scrolling on the page.

  • _ga Set by: Google 2 years Google Analytics. Gives your browser a number so repeat visits are not counted as new people. Cookie
  • _ga_SB2C153MS8 Set by: Google 2 years Google Analytics. Keeps track of the current visit — pages seen, time spent. Cookie
  • _clck Set by: Microsoft 1 year Microsoft Clarity. Connects your visits to one Clarity identifier. Cookie
  • _clsk Set by: Microsoft 1 day Microsoft Clarity. Joins the page views of one visit into a single recording. Cookie
  • CLID Set by: clarity.ms 1 year Microsoft Clarity. Identifies the first time Clarity saw this browser. Cookie
  • MUID, ANONCHK, SM, SRM_B Set by: Microsoft 1 day – 13 months Microsoft. Recognises the browser across Microsoft services and synchronises the Clarity identifier. Cookie
  • sbjs_current, sbjs_first, sbjs_udata, sbjs_session, sbjs_migrations, sbjs_current_add, sbjs_first_add Set by: stalonsilencer.com 6 months WooCommerce order attribution. Records which search, advert or link brought you here, so we can see what a placed order came from. Cookie

Marketing

Google Ads, so we can see which advert led to a visit and avoid showing you the same one over and over. We do not sell your data to anyone.

  • _gcl_au Set by: Google 90 days Google Ads. Connects a click on one of our adverts to what you did on the site afterwards. Cookie
  • _gcl_ls Set by: Google Until removed Google Ads. Same purpose as above, stored in the browser instead of in a cookie. Local storage
  • IDE, test_cookie, _gcl_aw Set by: Google Up to 13 months Google Ads. Set when our adverts are running, and used to limit how often the same advert is shown to you. Cookie

Services that set cookies on our behalf

Three companies process data about your visit when you allow the relevant category. Their own policies describe what they do with it.

  • Google Ireland Ltd — Google Analytics and Google Ads. Measures which pages are visited and which advert brought you here. Privacy policy
  • Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd — Clarity. Records mouse movement, clicks and scrolling on the page, so we can see where a page is confusing. Privacy policy
  • Cloudflare Inc — Turnstile. Separates people from bots on our forms. Necessary, and active regardless of your choice. Privacy policy

Google and Microsoft may process the data outside the EU and EEA. We rely on their standard contractual clauses and, where applicable, their certification under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

Content from other services

The dealer map loads its map images from OpenFreeMap, and videos are loaded from YouTube in no-cookie mode when you press play. Loading them sends your IP address to those providers. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts.

Blocking cookies in your browser

Every browser can block or delete cookies under its privacy settings. Blocking all of them will break the basket and the language switch on this site, which is why we ask instead of assuming.

Questions, and this page changing

We update this page when we add or remove a service. The date at the top is the date of the last change. Write to us at info@stalonsilencer.com.
