This page lists every browser-side storage key the Service sets. We use localStorage rather than traditional HTTP cookies wherever possible — this keeps your data on your device and out of network requests until you actively use the feature.
| Name | Kind | Purpose | Where | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cookie-consent-v1 | Essential | Records your choice to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Prevents the banner from re-appearing on every page. | localStorage | Until cleared |
| token / access_token | Essential | Keeps you signed in. Required for admin, staff, and customer accounts. | localStorage | 24 hours (customer) or session (staff) |
| fwtv_sid | Analytics | Anonymous session ID for public FWTV pages (view / play / search events). No personal data. | localStorage | Persistent until browser storage cleared |
| fwb_customer_v1 | Essential | Bookshop customer session + basket state. | localStorage | 24 hours |
| consent-banner-dismissed:* | Essential | Records that you have acknowledged the current data-processing policy version. | localStorage | Until the policy version changes |
You can clear any of the entries above at any time from your browser's Site Data / Storage settings. Signing out clears authentication tokens.
Declining non-essential cookies via the banner disables anonymous analytics (fwtv_sid) but does not affect essential storage needed to sign in, hold your basket, or record legal consent.
Payment providers (Stripe / PayPal), when used, set their own cookies during checkout. Their cookie policies apply on their domains.
