Attribution & Referral Cookies
When you arrive via a referral link or a URL containing UTM campaign parameters, we store two short-lived cookies to credit the referring creator and measure campaign performance:
- misar_ref — stores the referrer's username (set for 30 days). Used solely to credit the referring creator if you sign up or make a purchase.
- misar_utm — stores UTM source/medium/campaign values (set for 30 days). Used to understand which marketing campaigns drive sign-ups; data is aggregated and never sold.
Both cookies are first-party, set only when attribution parameters are present in the URL, and expire after 30 days. They are not used for cross-site tracking. You can opt out by browsing without UTM or referral parameters, or by clearing these cookies in your browser.
