Cookies
The small files kimsim.co keeps in your browser, what each one is for, and how long it lasts.
Needed for the site to work
These are always on. They hold no advertising data.
- kimsim_lang: The language you picked, so the homepage opens in it. Lasts 1 year.
- kimsim_orders: The orders paid in this browser, so it can show your eSIM after checkout. Lasts 30 days.
- better-auth.session_token, kimsim_in: Keep you signed in to My eSIMs. Lasts 100 days.
- kimsim_eu: Set for visitors in the UK, the EU/EEA and Switzerland, so we ask before any ad cookie. Lasts 30 days.
- kimsim_consent: Your answer to the cookie bar (yes or no). Lasts 180 days.
Our own analytics
We count page views and checkouts on our own server, with no third party and no cookie that follows you. The one cookie below notes where you came from (your first visit, or a later ad or tagged link you clicked), so a sale can be credited to it. Nothing is sent or stored when your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track.
- kimsim_src: The link or ad that brought you (utm tags, referring site, first page). Lasts 30 days.
Ad measurement (Meta)
We use the Meta (Facebook and Instagram) pixel to see which of our ads lead to a sale. It loads after the page has finished loading. In the UK, the EU/EEA and Switzerland it loads only after you press Accept. It never loads when your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track. When you buy, and only if the pixel is allowed, our server also tells Meta about the purchase: the amount, the plan, a scrambled (hashed) copy of your email, your IP address and browser, and the two cookies below. The IP address and browser are deleted from your order once that message is sent.
- _fbp: Meta's browser id, set by the pixel. Lasts 90 days.
- _fbc: The id of the Meta ad you clicked, if you came from one. Lasts 90 days.
Payment (Stripe)
Card and wallet payments are handled by Stripe. When you check out, Stripe sets its own cookies to prevent fraud. They are covered by Stripe's privacy policy.
- __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid: Fraud prevention during payment. Lasts 1 year / 30 minutes.
Change your choice
Turning ad cookies off stops the Meta pixel on this browser and removes its cookies. Resetting brings the cookie bar back if you are in the UK, the EU/EEA or Switzerland. You can also clear cookies in your browser settings at any time.
