We use only the cookies and browser storage needed to run the site: • A secure, httpOnly session cookie when you sign in to the Inner Circle member area (expires after 30 days or when you sign out; a password reset signs out all devices). • A separate httpOnly session cookie for the store owner's admin area. • Local storage on your device for your cart, your age/research-use confirmation and whether you have seen the welcome offer. • Session storage (cleared when the tab closes) for the support-chat conversation and intro film. We do not use advertising, cross-site tracking or third-party analytics cookies. Payments are processed as cryptocurrency invoices; no card data is ever stored. You can clear cookies and site data at any time in your browser settings — you will simply be asked to sign in and confirm your age again.
