What is it for?
Stripe cookie used to prevent fraud during payments. It is generally considered necessary on payment pages.
What does it look like?
The value is a unique identifier (UUID type). It is tied to Stripe’s fraud detection.
How to see it in your browser
Open your site, press F12, then choose the “Application” tab (Chrome, Edge) or “Storage” (Firefox). Under “Cookies”, select your site’s address: the __stripe_mid cookie appears in the list if present, with its value and expiry date.
What does the rule say?
A cookie strictly necessary for the requested service does not require consent. It should still be listed in your cookie policy.
How to prevent it before the choice
Load Stripe only on payment pages, not across the whole site.
