Cookie Policy
This page lists the cookies and similar technologies used on mandarinmiles.com. Non-essential cookies are set only after you accept them in our consent banner. “Reject non-essential” is a single click in the same place as “Accept all” — refusing costs you no functionality. We treat a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out of sale/sharing.
1. Current status of non-essential cookies
No analytics or advertising provider is currently enabled on this site. No Google Analytics, advertising pixels or cross-site trackers load, whether you accept or reject. If we ever enable one, we will update this table first and ask for fresh consent, and the script will load only for visitors who have opted in.
2. Cookies we use

3. How to change or withdraw your choice
- Use the Cookie settings link in the footer, where available, to reopen the banner and choose again.
- Or delete the
mm_consentcookie for this site in your browser settings: the banner will reappear on your next visit and you can choose again. - Browser “Do Not Track” is not reliably honoured by all sites; we do honour GPC automatically.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that already took place and does not remove strictly necessary cookies, which the site cannot run without.
4. Cookies set by other companies
Our Merchant of Record (Creem), PayPal, Cloudflare and our hosting provider may set cookies under their own policies when you open a checkout or a security challenge. Those cookies are not used by us for analytics or advertising. See the Privacy Policy for the list of providers.
5. California residents
We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. See the California Privacy Notice for your CCPA/CPRA rights.
6. Changes and contact
We update this page whenever the cookie set changes. Questions: [email protected] · Contact & Imprint.
