Cookie Policy

Last updated: 20 May 2026

Short version: starchini.com does not set any cookies of its own. Some embedded third-party services and the Store checkout do.

First-party cookies

None. The site uses localStorage in some places to remember background preferences on your device, but this is stored in your browser and not sent to any server.

Store cookies

Clicking "Choose options" or any product on the Store page takes you to shop.starchini.com for checkout. Shopify sets cookies on its own domain to keep your basket between pages, authenticate the session, prevent fraud, and complete payment. These cookies are essential for the checkout to work. Shopify's full cookie list and durations are documented at shopify.com/legal/cookies.

Third-party cookies

• Shopify — set when you visit the checkout (see above). Essential for processing your order.
• YouTube — the embedded video on the Transmissions page is served by YouTube. If you play it, YouTube may set cookies to record viewing preferences. See Google's privacy and cookies policy.
• Mailchimp — if you submit the "Join the Signal" form, Mailchimp handles the submission and may set cookies in line with its own policy.
• Music platforms — clicking a Listen link takes you to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Bandcamp, or SoundCloud. Those services set their own cookies once you arrive.

Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking third-party cookies will not affect the main site, but may prevent the Store checkout from working and may break YouTube playback on the Transmissions page.

Changes

If the site adds features that set cookies (for example analytics), this policy will be updated to reflect that.
