Informative translation. The Dutch version prevails.
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer, tablet or smartphone. A website can also put data in your browser’s storage (localStorage and sessionStorage); the same rules apply. Some cookies and storage are needed to make the shop work, such as your cart. We also use cookies for statistics, but only if you agree. We place nothing for advertising.
Version 2, 9 November 2026. The previous version had no statistics cookies. Updated the same day with the bot protection (Cloudflare Turnstile).
Which cookies do we use?
On thecozo.be itself we use these cookies and this browser storage. All of them are strictly necessary. The statistics cookies are further down, in a separate table.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| cozo_cart | Keeping your cart while you go on shopping | 2 days | Cookie, strictly necessary |
| cozo_session | Keeping you logged in to your account | Until you close your browser, or 7 days if you tick “Remember me” | Cookie, strictly necessary |
| cozo_wishlist | Remembering your wishlist when you are not logged in | Until you empty the list or clear your browser storage | Browser storage (localStorage), strictly necessary |
| cozo_pcb_build_v1 | Remembering the PC you put together in the PC Builder | Until you clear your browser storage; we no longer load an old build (by default after 30 days) | Browser storage (localStorage), strictly necessary |
| cozo_consent | Remembering your choice about statistics cookies | 6 months, then we ask again | Cookie, strictly necessary |
| cozo_reg | Bringing you back to your PC build after you create an account, so the build gets saved | 30 minutes | Cookie (first party), strictly necessary |
| cozo_pcb_pending_save | Keeping the PC build that is waiting to be saved while you log in | 30 minutes | Local storage (localStorage), strictly necessary |
| cozo_ho | Handing your cart over securely to the order page | 2 minutes | Cookie (first party), strictly necessary |
To pay, you go to our order page, which runs on WordPress. These cookies are used there:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| woocommerce_cart_hash, woocommerce_items_in_cart | Remembering what is in your cart | Until you close your browser |
| wp_woocommerce_session_… | Linking your cart to your visit | 2 days, or 7 days if you are logged in |
| _lscache_vary | Showing the right version of a page, for visitors who are logged in or not | 2 days, or as long as you stay logged in |
| tinv_wishlistkey | Recognising your wishlist when you are not logged in | 31 days |
| tinvwl_wishlists_data_counter, tinvwl_wishlists_data_stats | Showing the number of products on your wishlist | Until you close your browser |
| tinvwl_update_data | Updating your wishlist when you log in or out | 1 hour |
| wordpress_logged_in_…, wordpress_sec_… | Keeping you logged in to your account | Until you close your browser, or 14 days if you tick “Remember me” |
| wordpress_test_cookie | Checking whether your browser accepts cookies when you log in | Until you close your browser |
Your browser also keeps data of your cart and wishlist in its storage (wc_fragments_…, wc_cart_hash_…, wc_cart_created, ti_wishlist_data_…), so they appear faster. WordPress also stores wpEmojiSettingsSupports there, to know whether your browser can show emoji. This data stays on your own device.
All these cookies belong to thecozo.be itself. We do not use them to track you and we do not sell or pass them on. Our hosting provider only processes them technically, on our behalf.
When do we ask for consent?
For cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service you ask for yourself, such as a cart or logging in, Belgian law does not require consent. For statistics cookies it does. That is why we ask you on your first visit, in a bar at the bottom of the page. Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and the site works either way.
As long as you choose nothing, or if you reject, we do not load Google Analytics or Microsoft Clarity and send nothing to Google or Microsoft. We keep your choice for 6 months in the cookie cozo_consent. After that, or if we start using new kinds of cookies, we ask again.
Statistics cookies (only with your consent)
If you agree to statistics, we use two services. With Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited) we see how many visitors we have, which pages and products they view and how many add something to their cart or go to the checkout. With Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft) we see where visitors click and scroll and where they get stuck, through heatmaps and recordings of visits. What you type in forms and the pages of your account are masked in those recordings. Google’s advertising features (Google signals and personalised ads) are off.
| Cookie | From | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Telling visitors apart with a random code | 13 months |
| _ga_C5LNQPKY4J | Google Analytics | Keeping track of your visit (session) | 13 months |
| _clck | Microsoft Clarity | Remembering your Clarity code and preferences for this site | 1 year |
| _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Linking several pages of one visit together | 1 day |
Clarity can also set cookies on its own domains (clarity.ms and bing.com, such as CLID and MUID). We only give Clarity consent for statistics, not for advertising. We cannot delete those cookies ourselves; you can do that in your browser settings.
Google and Microsoft may process this data in the United States. Both companies are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, for which the European Commission adopted an adequacy decision. How long the data is kept and which rights you have is explained in the privacy statement.
Changing or withdrawing your choice
You can change your choice at any time, also if you gave consent before. It is as easy as giving it: click Cookie settings at the bottom of every page, or here: .
If you withdraw your consent, Google Analytics and Clarity stop at once and we delete their cookies on thecozo.be. If you also want data that was already collected to be erased, email contact@thecozo.be.
Web statistics without cookies
With Vercel Web Analytics we count how our website is used. This works without cookies: no cookie is placed on your device to recognise you. A visitor is told apart by a code (hash) calculated from the incoming request; that session is not stored permanently and is deleted automatically after 24 hours.
We only see aggregated figures: which pages are viewed, which website visitors come from, which country and region they are in, and which operating system, browser and type of device they use. We do not build personal profiles and do not follow you on other websites. Pages of your account, cart and order tracking are not sent. Vercel processes these figures on our behalf. You can read more about how we handle data in the privacy statement.
Protection against bots (Cloudflare Turnstile)
The contact form, the return form, the withdrawal form, the order tracking form and our checkout page, as well as logging in, registering and resetting a forgotten password, include a check by Cloudflare Turnstile. It checks that a person, not a bot, sends the form, so nobody can misuse our forms for spam or to try out stolen payment cards. Most of the time you only see a tick that appears by itself.
Turnstile does not set a cookie on thecozo.be itself. The check is loaded from challenges.cloudflare.com and may store technical data in your browser there, only to recognise bots. It is a security function that is strictly necessary for the form you want to send. That is why we do not ask for consent and it is not part of the cookie settings. Cloudflare does this on our behalf. What data Turnstile processes and where is set out in the privacy statement and in the Turnstile privacy addendum.
Links to other websites
Our website has a link to our Instagram account. It is an ordinary link: no Instagram content is loaded on our website and Instagram places no cookies through our website. If you click it, Instagram’s cookie rules apply on Instagram.
Viewing or deleting cookies
In your browser settings (for example Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge) you can see which cookies are stored, delete them or block cookies. You can also clear a website’s browser storage there. If you block the cookies of thecozo.be, your cart, wishlist and logging in will not work.
