This Cookie Policy explains how Copywriters Libres (copywriterslibres.com) uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies when you visit our website. It is designed to give you a clear picture of exactly what we store, why, and how you can manage or remove it.
If you have questions not addressed here, email hello@copywriterslibres.com and we will give you a straight answer.
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are sent back to the website on subsequent visits and allow the site to recognize you or remember your preferences. Cookies have expiration dates -- some expire when you close your browser ("session cookies") and others persist until a specific expiration date or until you manually delete them ("persistent cookies").
localStorage is a similar browser-side storage technology that works differently from cookies in one important way: content stored in localStorage is never automatically transmitted to our server. It stays entirely in your browser unless you delete it. We use localStorage rather than cookies for consent storage because it is more privacy-preserving -- the data never leaves your device.
When you first visit copywriterslibres.com, a consent banner appears at the bottom of the screen. When you make a choice -- either accepting or declining -- we store that choice in your browser's localStorage under the key cl_consent with a value of either "yes" or "no".
This storage serves one purpose only: remembering your preference so the consent banner does not appear on every page you visit or every time you return to the site. The stored value is never transmitted to our server, never associated with your identity or account, and never used for any purpose other than suppressing the consent banner.
This localStorage entry does not expire automatically. It will remain in your browser until you delete it or clear your browser's local storage.
When you click through to complete a purchase, you are redirected from our website to Stripe's secure checkout environment at checkout.stripe.com. Stripe is a separate company with their own website, and they set their own cookies on your device during the payment process.
Stripe's cookies are used for fraud detection, session management during the checkout flow, and ensuring payment security. These cookies are governed exclusively by Stripe's own Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy, both available at stripe.com. We have no control over, no access to, and no visibility into the cookies Stripe sets or the data they contain.
Our web server automatically records standard access log data for every HTTP request, including requests for pages, images, CSS, and JavaScript files. This includes: the requesting IP address, the date and time of the request, the specific URL requested, the HTTP status code returned, the size of the response, and the referring URL if a link was followed to reach our site.
This is not technically a cookie -- it is server-side logging rather than client-side storage. We retain access logs for 30 days for security analysis, then automatically overwrite them. This data is not associated with individual user identities, not shared with third parties, and not used for any marketing or analytics purpose.
We want to be explicit about what we do not use, because the absence of these technologies is itself meaningful information:
When you first visit our website, a consent banner appears giving you the choice to accept or decline. Selecting "Accept" stores cl_consent: "yes" in localStorage. Selecting "Decline" stores cl_consent: "no". Either choice dismisses the banner for future visits on the same browser and device.
Your choice does not affect the functionality of our website. Because we only use localStorage for the consent preference itself (and nothing else that would be affected by your consent choice), both "Accept" and "Decline" result in the same website experience.
You can clear the localStorage entry at any time through your browser's developer tools. Here is how to do it in common browsers:
cl_consent entry in the right panel, and delete it by pressing the Delete key or right-clicking and selecting "Delete".cl_consent key and delete it.After clearing this entry, the cookie consent banner will appear again on your next visit.
All major browsers allow you to block, delete, or restrict cookies and localStorage on a per-site basis or globally. You can access these controls through your browser's privacy or security settings. Note that blocking all browser storage globally may affect the functionality of many other websites you use.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable laws. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent revision was made. We will not make material changes to what we store or how we use it without updating this policy and -- if the change is significant -- providing additional notice.
