01
Current position
Only current functional storage.
- The website does not activate advertising pixels or Kiese first-party analytics.
- The Contact security cookie also supports the private Feedback service and server-gated direct-contact reveal; browser storage supports other services requested by the visitor.
- Email subscriptions are currently closed and the homepage does not store newsletter signups.
- Google reCAPTCHA is loaded only when the private Kiese configuration enables it for a protected Contact or Feedback submission. When it is off, this integration does not load the reCAPTCHA client.
- If non-essential measurement or advertising is introduced later, Kiese will add the required information and consent controls before activation.

Essential security cookies
| 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. |
| _GRECAPTCHA |
Third-party necessary security cookie, set by Google reCAPTCHA when executed |
Supports reCAPTCHA risk analysis for security, fraud and automated-abuse prevention on protected Contact and Feedback submissions. It is not used by Kiese for advertising or marketing. |
Provider-controlled. It is created only when reCAPTCHA is enabled and executed; the current Google documentation identifies it as a necessary reCAPTCHA cookie. |
Treated by Kiese as security storage necessary to protect the requested form submission against automated abuse when reCAPTCHA protection is active. |
Conditional use: the Kiese integration does not load reCAPTCHA while both Contact and Feedback protection modes are off. When protection is active, Kiese uses the reCAPTCHA client only around the protected form submission and not as a general advertising or analytics tag.
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.
Google reCAPTCHA is separate from Google Fonts. When reCAPTCHA is enabled for a protected form submission, its security client may process technical and interaction signals and set the necessary _GRECAPTCHA cookie. Read the Privacy notice for the processing purpose and recipient information.
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.
Read the full Privacy notice or use the secure Contact page for a privacy question.
