Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy applies to www.bitcoinstuffstore.com, operated by BitcoinStuffStore (Chamber of Commerce No. 90462769). We don’t like tracking, but we do value transparency. That’s why we’ve outlined below exactly which cookies this site uses, why, and what settings you can adjust yourself. Version: September 2026.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. For example, they remember that you’ve added a Bitaxe to your shopping cart, or that you’re viewing the Dutch version of the site. Some cookies are necessary for the site to function. Others are used for statistics or marketing, and those may only be placed after you have given your consent.
What cookies do we use?
The cookie banner you see on your first visit allows you to choose what you permit per category: Necessary, Functional, Analytical, and Advertising. This is the state of affairs as of September 2026.
Necessary (always active)
Without these cookies, the store will not work. They do not require consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Retention period |
|---|---|---|
| CookieConsent | Saves your cookie preference so we don't have to ask every time. | Until you change your choice or delete the cookie |
| wp_woocommerce_session_*, woocommerce_cart_hash, woocommerce_items_in_cart | Your shopping cart and checkout. | Session, maximum 2 days |
| wordpress_logged_in_*, wordpress_sec_* | Only if you log in to My account: keeps you logged in. | Session |
| cf_clearance | Cloudflare Security: remembers that you are not a bot. | 1 year |
Functional
Cookies that make the site more user-friendly, such as remembering your language preference (trp_language, 30 days). We currently do not place any other functional third-party cookies.
Analytical (only after consent)
This measures how many people visit the site, which pages are read the most, and where visitors come from. We use Google Analytics 4 for this, loaded via Google Tag Manager with Google Consent Mode v2. Without your consent, nothing is measured and these cookies are not placed.
| Cookie | Purpose | Retention period |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics: distinguishes visitors from one another. | Maximum 2 years |
| _ga_L1NDZFZH95 | Google Analytics: tracks session status. | Maximum 2 years |
Advertising
At this time, we do not place marketing cookies. If we use them in the future, for example for Google Ads, this will only happen after you have given permission for this in the Advertising category, and we will adjust this policy.
How do we arrange this technically?
The cookie banner is provided by the WordPress plugin Cookiez. It saves your choice in the CookieConsent cookie and blocks scripts from the Analytical and Advertising categories until you give consent. Google Tag Manager runs with Consent Mode v2, ensuring that Google also respects your choice.
Change or withdraw your permission
You can change your cookie settings at any time:
If that does not work, clear the cookies of this site in your browser settings. During your next visit, you will get the banner again and you can make a new choice.
What don't we do?
We do not sell data, do not set cookies without a valid reason, and do not work with data brokers. If you pay with bitcoin, the transaction goes through our own BTCPay Server, and no cookies from an external payment service are loaded. This aligns with who we are: a bitcoin-only online store that takes self-sovereignty seriously, even online.
