Session anonymity

Session anonymity is the property that each visit to a storefront is treated as an independent session. There is no account, no persistent login, no cookie identity that ties today's purchase to last month's.

A session-anonymous checkout has three traits:

• No mandatory signup. Email is collected on the order itself, not gated before browsing.
• No persistent login that survives the order. Close the tab, the session is gone.
• No server-side linking of multiple orders from the same email unless the buyer explicitly opts in.

The alternative — requiring an account before browsing — creates a permanent identity record on the storefront that survives every future visit. For a growth purchase, where the whole point is discretion, that record is a liability. Session anonymity sidesteps it by design. It is the default posture at 1kreach.
