Cookies & Privacy Choices

Effective date: 2026-09-07
Cookies used by the store
Cookies are small records stored by your browser. X9 uses them to connect requests to a shopping cart or signed-in session, protect forms and, when applicable, attribute referral visits. The periods below describe browser storage when a cookie is set; use of the store may renew it. They are not server-data deletion deadlines.
| Cookie | Purpose | Browser duration |
|---|---|---|
| X9 session | Maintains the session, sign-in state and temporary form information. | 120 minutes of inactivity. |
| CSRF protection | Helps protect submitted forms against requests from other sites. | Associated with the session. |
| Remember me | Supports persistent sign-in when you select that option. | Persistent; the expiration is shown in your browser's cookie details. |
| x9_cart | Identifies your shopping cart. | Up to 365 days. |
| x9_vid | Identifies a visit through an enabled referral link. | Up to 365 days. |
| x9_ref | Records the referral source for attribution. | The remaining referral-binding period, normally up to 30 days. |
| x9_cookie_notice | Remembers acknowledgement of the Cookie notice; it is not permission for optional tracking. | Up to 180 days. |
Referral and other technologies
Referral cookies are used at enabled creator or distributor entry points, rather than being needed for every ordinary visit. Related server records can include a landing page, referring URL, hashed network and browser information, and an order association. Clearing cookies does not remove an existing server-side referral or order record.
The group-offer and coupon dialogs store their last display times in localStorage under x9:offer:last-shown and x9:coupon:last-shown, respectively. These timestamps limit automatic display to once per 24 hours in the same browser. They are not account identifiers or coupon entitlements. They remain until replaced by a later display or cleared through browser site-data settings. Blocking this storage disables automatic display; manual offer links remain available.
Ordinary page assets and fonts are self-hosted. Optional shopping analytics, when enabled, requires your permission and is described in the Optional shopping analytics section. The storefront does not use Meta advertising pixels. Payment or sign-in services, when enabled and used, may use their own cookies or technologies and may associate activity across services; their notices explain those practices.
Browser controls
You can inspect, block or remove cookies through your browser settings. Blocking session, security or cart cookies may prevent sign-in, checkout or cart recovery. Removing a cookie is not an instruction to delete the corresponding server record, unsubscribe from email or change an account marketing preference.
Privacy signals
Choosing Necessary only keeps optional analytics off. Global Privacy Control also keeps optional analytics off. These choices do not change the cookies needed for your cart, sign-in and security or existing referral attribution. Do Not Track does not automatically change those essential or referral cookies. Neither Cookie notice choice enables advertising or subscribes you to marketing. You can reopen the notice from the footer. Browser controls do not replace rights or signal requirements under applicable law.
For questions about tracking or to exercise a privacy choice, contact our support team using the Privacy Policy. Explain the request without sending passwords or complete payment details.
Optional shopping analytics
With your permission, we use Google Analytics 4 to measure store visits, product views, additions to the cart, checkout starts and completed ordinary purchases. Google processes device and browser information, an analytics identifier and shopping events. We do not include your name, email, phone number, address, payment details, search text or order-access links in these events.
Choose Necessary only to leave this measurement off, or Allow analytics to enable it. The separate encrypted x9_analytics_consent cookie remembers your choice for 180 days. When enabled, Google’s _ga cookies identify browser visits and expire after up to 180 days, renewed on later visits. Google may process this information on servers outside your state or country.
Advertising storage, Google signals and ad personalization are disabled. We honor Global Privacy Control for optional analytics. You can withdraw permission through Cookie notice in the footer; choosing Necessary only stops collection in this browser and removes its Google Analytics cookies. Withdrawal does not retroactively delete information already processed.
See Google’s privacy policy or contact support@x9x9.us with privacy requests.
Cookie notice acknowledgement
Either Cookie notice choice also records your acknowledgement of the notice. The encrypted x9_cookie_notice cookie remembers this for 180 days in this browser. You can reopen the notice using Cookie notice in the footer.
This acknowledgement does not enable or disable tracking, subscribe you to marketing, or change your existing cart, account or referral records. Browser controls are described above.
