Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies Spisa Shop S.L. (trading as Spisa Foodmarket) uses on this website and how you can manage them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember information about your session or preferences.
Similar technologies include localStorage (a browser storage mechanism used to persist data across sessions without sending it to a server) and sessionStorage (which is cleared when the browser tab is closed). We use localStorage for your language preference on this site.
Cookies are widely used to make websites work correctly, to provide analytics information, and to display relevant content. They cannot execute programs or deliver viruses to your device.
Cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take (such as logging in). You can set your browser to block them, but parts of the site may then not work.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| wordpress_* wp-settings-* |
WordPress | Manages authenticated admin/editor sessions. Only set for logged-in users — not set for ordinary visitors. | Session / 1 year |
| PHPSESSID | Server | Standard PHP session identifier. Used to maintain server-side state during a browsing session. | Session |
Functional storage (localStorage)
We use the browser's localStorage (not a cookie) to store your language preference. This means we can display content in your chosen language (English, Swedish, or Spanish) without asking each time you visit.
| Key | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| spisa-lang | Spisa Foodmarket | Stores your language preference (en / sv / es). Not sent to any server. Cleared when you clear your browser data. | Until cleared |
Analytics cookies
If we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this website, the following cookies may be set. These collect information in anonymised form about the number of visitors, which pages are most visited, and how visitors arrived at our site.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier. | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Stores and updates a unique value for each page visited. | 24 hours |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics (GA4) | Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4. | 2 years |
Google Analytics is not currently active on this website — no analytics cookies are set today. If we activate analytics in the future, these cookies will only be set with your prior consent and this policy will be updated accordingly.
Third-party cookies
Google Maps
Our website includes an embedded Google Maps iframe on the Visit page. When this map is loaded, Google may set its own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies. Google's cookie policy is available at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
Our website links to posts on Instagram. These links open in a new tab and do not embed Instagram content directly. No Instagram/Meta cookies are set on our site as a result of these links.
Mailchimp
Our newsletter sign-up links to a Mailchimp-hosted page. Mailchimp may set cookies on that page. Those cookies are governed by Mailchimp's cookie policy at mailchimp.com/legal/cookies.
How to manage cookies
You can control and/or delete cookies at any time using your browser settings. You can delete all cookies currently on your device and configure most browsers to prevent new cookies from being set. If you do this, you may need to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site.
Browser settings
Opting out of analytics
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Please note: Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of our website from functioning correctly. Disabling functional storage (localStorage) will mean your language preference is not saved between visits.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the cookies or technologies we use, or when legislation requires us to do so. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
