1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can keep a shopping basket working, protect a session, remember choices or help a website owner understand how a site is used.
2. Cookies this site may use
| Category | Purpose | Consent |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | WordPress security, page delivery, form protection, EDD basket and checkout functions, payment-session continuity and saving your cookie choice. | Not normally required, but you must still be told about them. |
| Preferences | Remember optional display or website choices. | Required unless the preference is essential to a service you requested. |
| Analytics | Measure visits and how people use the site. | Required before these cookies are set. |
| Marketing | Track activity for advertising or cross-site profiling. | Required before these cookies are set. |
3. EDD, checkout and payment cookies
Easy Digital Downloads and the chosen payment gateway may use essential cookies or comparable session storage to remember basket contents, protect checkout and complete payment. Exact names and durations can change with plugin or gateway versions.
4. Your choices
Non-essential cookies must remain off until you make a positive choice. If analytics or marketing tools are added, the site should provide controls that let you accept or reject them and change your mind later. You can also delete or block cookies through your browser, although doing so may stop the basket or checkout from working.
5. Current cookie audit
Before public launch, ClearRock will record the exact cookie names, providers, purposes and lifetimes generated by the live WordPress host, EDD and payment gateway. This page should be updated whenever plugins, analytics or marketing services change.
Launch position: Keep optional analytics and marketing disabled until a consent tool has been configured and tested. Strictly necessary commerce and security cookies may operate without opt-in consent, but must still be explained.
