1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences or understand how you use it. Some cookies are essential for the website to function; others are optional and require your consent.
2. How we use cookies
We use a minimal set of cookies on magicwand.site. We do not use advertising, tracking, or social media cookies.
3. Cookies we set
| Cookie name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cookie-consent | Essential | Stores your cookie consent preference (“accepted” or “rejected”) so we don’t ask again on every visit | Until you clear browser storage |
theme | Essential | Remembers your dark/light mode preference | Until you clear browser storage |
Google Analytics cookies (e.g. _ga, _ga_*) | Analytics (optional) | Helps us understand how visitors use the site — pages visited, session duration, referral source. IP addresses are anonymised. No personal profile is built. | Up to 14 months (set by Google) |
The cookie-consent and theme cookies are stored in your browser’s localStorage rather than as HTTP cookies. They do not leave your device and are not transmitted to our servers.
4. Third-party cookies
If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics will set its own cookies on your device. These are governed by Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
We have enabled IP anonymisation in our Google Analytics configuration, which means Google truncates your IP address before any processing.
5. Your choices
Via our cookie banner
When you first visit the site, a banner appears at the bottom of the page. You can:
- Accept all — enables Google Analytics
- Reject — analytics are not loaded; only essential localStorage items are used
Changing your preference
To change a previous choice, clear the cookie-consent entry from your browser’s localStorage:
- Open your browser’s Developer Tools (F12 or right-click → Inspect)
- Go to Application → Local Storage → your site URL
- Delete the
cookie-consententry - Refresh the page — the banner will reappear
Via your browser
You can also manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking all cookies may affect site functionality (e.g. the theme toggle will not remember your preference).
