Cookie Policy
Last updated: 5 November 2026
Cookies are small files a website stores on your device. This page lists the ones styledwith.co.uk uses and why. It follows the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.
The short version
We use the cookies the shop needs to work, plus Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to see how the site is used. You can switch the analytics off at any time with Reject non-essential in cookie settings (the link is in the footer). We don't use advertising cookies. If we ever add them, they will only run if you choose Accept all, and we'll update this page.
Essential cookies
The shop doesn't work without these, so they're always on.
- _medusa_cart_id: holds your basket. Lasts 7 days.
- _medusa_jwt: keeps you signed in to your account. Lasts 7 days.
- _medusa_pending_customer: remembers your details while you confirm your email address when creating an account. Lasts 1 day.
- _medusa_cache_id: helps the site load pages quickly. Lasts 1 day.
- sw_consent: remembers your cookie choice, for six months.
- sw_preview: used only by our own staff to view the shop before it opens. Shoppers never get this one.
Analytics, on unless you choose Reject non-essential
- Google Analytics (_ga, ga…): counts visits and what people do on the site, with IP addresses anonymised.
- Microsoft Clarity (_clck, _clsk): records clicks, taps and scrolling as session recordings and heatmaps, so we can see where the shop gets in people's way.
Choosing Reject non-essential switches these off and deletes the analytics cookies already set.
Payment cookies
When you pay, Stripe, our payment provider, may set its own cookies to process the payment securely and prevent fraud. These are covered by Stripe's privacy policy.
Other things stored on your device
- sw_teddy_seen (local storage): remembers that you've seen the welcome animation on our homepage before, so on later visits the page text shows straight away instead of waiting for the animation to finish.
- sw_src (session storage): notes which site or link brought you here, so if you join our mailing list we know where you found us. It's cleared when you close the tab.
Switching cookies off
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the essential ones, your basket and sign-in won't work.
