Cookie policy
Last updated: October 5, 2026
On this page, you can read which cookies and storage mechanisms www.globestar.nl uses in your browser, and you can review and change your choices. For more information on how I use your data, please refer to my privacy statement.
Necessary cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function, for example to log in and remember your shopping cart. For these, I do not request consent.
| Name | Purpose | Retention period |
|---|---|---|
session | Tracks your session: login, shopping cart, language selection, and a security token against cross-site request forgery (CSRF). | Until you close your browser |
gs_consent | Stores your cookie preference for globestar.nl and www.globestar.nl. | 6 months |
Statistics (only with consent)
If you consent to statistics, I load the tracking script from my own statistics service, webstats.globestar.nl. This script does not set cookies, but stores a random session ID (gss_webstats_sid) in your browser’s sessionStorage until you close the tab. On the homepage, with the same consent, I display banners from my own banner service, banners.globestar.nl, which track impressions and clicks using a separate session ID (gss_banners_sid). Without your consent, I do not load these scripts.
Referral (only with consent)
I place the gs_ref cookie only when you click 'Accept invitation' on an invitation page yourself. By doing so, you give consent for this category. If you withdraw this consent, I will delete the cookie.
| Name | Purpose | Retention period |
|---|---|---|
gs_ref | Remembers through which invitation you arrived at the site, so that your new account can be linked to that invitation. Applies to globestar.nl and www.globestar.nl. | 30 days |
Storage in your browser
Additionally, the website stores a few settings in your browser (localStorage). These remain on your own device:
- gs-theme: your choice of light or dark theme
- locale and gs_lang: your language preference
- logged_in: whether you are logged in, so the menu displays correctly
- the AI chat history, so you can see the conversation after reloading
You can clear this data via your browser settings.
