Essential Contact security cookie
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Consent |
|---|
| KIESECONTACT |
First-party, HTTP-only, same-site session cookie |
Maintains the Contact/Feedback security session and associates short-lived anti-forgery or reveal tokens with the requested action. |
Current browser session; server-side records follow session cleanup. |
Used as essential security for the Contact, Feedback and direct-contact reveal services requested by the visitor. |
03
Local storage
Local storage remains on the browser until the site replaces it or the visitor clears site data.
| Key or group | Purpose | Typical contents |
|---|
| kieseBasketV2 | Keep the basket between page visits. | Product references, variants, quantities and basket settings. |
| kieseDeliveryCountryV1 | Remember the selected delivery country. | Country code, normally GB. |
| kieseProductsV2, kieseBundlesV2, kieseInventoryV2, kiesePromotionsV2, kieseCommerceSettingsV2 | Provide the local catalogue, availability and basket calculations while commerce remains hosted-inert. | Product catalogue, local availability, promotion and interface configuration data; not Contact messages. |
| kieseCommerceSchemaVersion, kieseWebpMigratedV1 | Compatibility and one-time migration markers. | Version or completed-migration markers. |
| Legacy basket/catalogue keys | Read once where present so older browser data can be migrated to the current key. | Earlier V1 basket or catalogue data stored on that same device. |
04
Session storage
Session storage normally ends when the tab or browser session ends.
| Key or group | Purpose |
|---|
| kieseCatalogSyncStatus, kieseCatalogSyncedAt, request/commit generation keys | Temporary catalogue-refresh state and protection against stale updates. |
| kieseLaunchBarHidden | Remember that the visitor dismissed the launch bar for the current session. |
| kieseRecDismissedV1 | Remember recommendation cards dismissed during the current session. |
| matrix_used | Temporary interface state used by the current page experience. |
05
Inactive and legacy keys
Kiese analytics collection is not active. The code may read an older preference key named kieseAnalyticsConsentV1, but the website does not write Kiese analytics events.
An earlier local-only newsletter prototype could save an email address in that browser under kieseNewsletterSubscribersV2 even though no mailing backend was active. That collection path has been removed. Older local data remains only on the affected device until cleared.
The website does not store Contact messages, Feedback submissions, orders, customer records, consent ledgers or data-rights requests in browser storage.
06
External fonts
The current design requests typeface files from Google Fonts. This is not a Kiese cookie, but the external request may disclose technical information such as IP address and browser details to the provider.
The current design requests its approved typefaces from Google Fonts; details are described in the Privacy notice.
07
Your controls
You can clear Kiese cookies and site data through your browser settings. Clearing local storage removes the saved basket and local interface state on that device.
Blocking essential storage may prevent the Contact form, basket or interface from working correctly.
