Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They typically contain a piece of identifying information that lets the site remember you between visits, keep you signed in, or recognize your preferences.

Ecopyright uses a small number of cookies, listed below. We do not use cookies for cross-site tracking, behavioral advertising, or selling your browsing activity to third parties.

Categories of cookies

We categorize the cookies we use into three groups:

Strictly necessary. Required for the service to function. These cannot be disabled. They do not collect data for marketing or analytics.
Functional. Remember your preferences (theme, language). These are useful but not strictly required. You can disable them.
Analytics. Help us understand which content is read and how the service is used. We load these only if you opt in via the cookie consent banner.

The specific cookies we use

Third-party cookies

We do not knowingly load third-party cookies for advertising. The Google Analytics cookies listed above are loaded only if you opt in. Stripe (our payment processor) sets cookies during checkout for fraud prevention; these are strictly necessary to complete a payment securely and are governed by Stripe's privacy policy.

How to control cookies

You have several options for managing cookies:

Our consent banner. When you first visit, you can choose which categories to allow.
Your account settings. Once signed in, you can adjust cookie preferences from your account settings.
Your browser. All major browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies on a per-site or global basis. Instructions vary by browser; search for "cookie settings" in your browser's help.

If you block strictly necessary cookies, the Service will not work correctly. If you block functional cookies, your preferences may not persist. If you block analytics cookies (or never opt in), we cannot count your visits.

Do Not Track

We respect Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals where they apply to analytics cookies. If your browser sends a DNT signal, we do not load analytics cookies regardless of your stated consent.

Changes

If we add, remove, or change cookies, we update this policy. Material changes trigger a fresh consent prompt the next time you visit.
