Cookies Policy

Last updated: June 13, 2026

Privacy Cookies Terms Imprint

This page tells you exactly what cookies and similar tracking technologies Master Anshin uses, why we use them, how long they last, and how you can switch them on or off at any time.

We use the smallest set of cookies that lets the site work and lets us understand at an aggregate level whether our content helps people. We do not use cookies for behavioral advertising, retargeting, or selling data.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a tiny text file your browser stores when you visit a site. It lets the site remember things like your preferences or whether you have already accepted the cookie banner. Some "cookies" in the modern sense are actually entries in localStorage or sessionStorage. We treat all of these the same way under this policy.

The cookies we use

1. Strictly necessary (always on)

Name	Set by	Purpose	Lifetime
`anshin_consent`	masteranshin.clickdrop.online	Stores your cookie consent choice so we don't ask again on every page	12 months
`PHPSESSID`	masteranshin.clickdrop.online	Only set on pages that need a session (newsletter form, checkout). Expires when you close the browser.	Session
`studio_key`	masteranshin.clickdrop.online	Internal admin auth for the editor dashboard. Only set if you have the admin key. Never set for regular visitors.	30 days

You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies. Without them the site cannot remember your privacy preferences.

2. Analytics (opt-in)

If enabled in the future and you opt in:

Name	Set by	Purpose	Lifetime
Aggregated visitor counts	Privacy-friendly analytics tool (Plausible / Umami / similar)	Count unique daily visitors per page, country at country level, referring source. No individual profiles, no cross-site tracking, no fingerprinting.	24 hours (rotating daily hash)

3. Marketing

We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. If this changes, we will list them here and ask for your consent first.

4. Third-party embedded content

Some pages embed content from YouTube (videos) and Spotify (podcast player). When you press play, those embedded players may set their own cookies for analytics under their own privacy policies. We use the "no-cookie" YouTube domain (youtube-nocookie.com) where possible so no cookie is set until you actively interact with the player.

How to manage cookies

On our site: open the cookie settings link in the footer at any time, change your choices, and save.
In your browser: every major browser lets you block or delete cookies. Examples:
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy
Universal opt-outs: we honor the Sec-GPC Global Privacy Control header. If your browser sends it, we treat that as a "reject all non-essential" signal.

Do-Not-Track

We respect the DNT: 1 header where reasonable, but the DNT standard was not adopted widely. The cookie banner and Global Privacy Control header are the authoritative ways to tell us your choice.

Changes to this policy

We will update the "Last updated" date at the top whenever this list changes. If a new category of cookie is added, we will re-prompt the banner.
