Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files or identifiers stored on or accessed from your device when you visit a website.

InkFireBook may also use similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, tags and software-development tools, where relevant to website functionality, analytics, security or advertising.

These technologies may recognise a browser or device, remember preferences, maintain account sessions, secure checkout and help us understand how the website is used.

2. Who Is Responsible?

The website is operated by:

Questions about cookies or consent may be sent to support@inkfirebook.com.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

4. Functional and Essential Technologies

Essential technologies may be used to:

• maintain website and account security;
• authenticate Customer sessions;
• remember shopping-cart contents;
• process checkout and payment requests;
• prevent fraud and technical abuse;
• store cookie-consent choices;
• provide Customer-account functions;
• deliver access to purchased Digital Products; and
• maintain load balancing, availability and technical performance.

Blocking strictly necessary technologies may prevent parts of the website from functioning correctly.

5. Analytics Technologies

InkFireBook may use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and improve performance.

Analytics information may include pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser information, referral source, session duration and interactions with website features.

Analytics technologies that require consent are not activated until you provide that consent through the cookie banner.

You can later withdraw consent through the consent-management tool.

6. Payment and Checkout Technologies

Payment providers and ecommerce tools, including Stripe, PayPal and WooCommerce-related functions, may use technologies necessary to:

• process payments securely;
• detect fraud;
• maintain checkout sessions;
• remember cart contents; and
• confirm the status of a transaction.

Some of these technologies may be supplied directly by third-party providers and are governed by their own privacy and cookie information.

7. Account and Digital Download Technologies

Where you create an account or purchase a Digital Product, technical cookies or similar identifiers may be used to:

• keep you signed in;
• protect account access;
• display order and download information;
• validate access to purchased files;
• enforce reasonable access or download controls;
• restore a requested download session; and
• prevent unauthorised sharing or misuse.

These technologies are used only to the extent reasonably necessary to provide and secure the requested account or download function.

8. Legal Basis and Consent

Strictly necessary technologies are used where required to provide a service expressly requested by the user or to transmit a communication over an electronic network.

InkFireBook does not rely on legitimate interest as a substitute for consent where prior consent is legally required for a non-essential tracking technology.

Preferences, analytics and marketing technologies are used according to the choices and consent options displayed by the cookie banner.

Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and expressed through an affirmative action. Simply continuing to browse does not, by itself, constitute valid consent to non-essential tracking.

9. Managing and Withdrawing Consent

When you first visit the website, the cookie banner allows you to:

• accept the available categories;
• reject non-essential categories;
• view detailed preferences; and
• save a customised selection.

You may change or withdraw your choices at any time by using the Manage consent control displayed on the website.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

You may also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Browser-level blocking may affect essential functions, account access, checkout or downloads.

10. Cookie Duration

Cookies may be:

• session cookies, which normally expire when the browser is closed; or
• persistent cookies, which remain for a defined period or until deleted.

The duration of individual technologies depends on their purpose and the relevant provider’s configuration.

Where available, the consent-management tool provides further information about individual cookies, providers and retention periods detected on the website.

11. Do Not Track and United States Privacy Signals

Some web browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no universally accepted standard governing how websites should interpret every Do Not Track signal, InkFireBook does not currently respond to those signals as a separate automated instruction.

Visitors may control non-essential analytics and marketing technologies through the website’s consent-management tool and through browser settings.

Where a United States privacy law that applies to InkFireBook requires recognition of a valid browser-based opt-out preference signal, InkFireBook will process that signal as required by law.

12. Third-Party Technologies

Some website functions are provided by third parties, including payment, analytics, communication and embedded-content providers.

Those providers may set or access their own technologies when the relevant service is used or when valid consent has been provided.

Third parties process information according to their own privacy terms and may operate from countries outside the European Economic Area using applicable transfer safeguards.

13. Current Cookie List

The exact technologies used by the website may change as plugins, payment tools, analytics settings and website functions are updated.

The current cookie and provider list should be viewed through the website’s consent-management tool, which is designed to reflect the technologies detected or configured on the site.

14. Relationship with the Privacy Policy

Some cookies and similar technologies involve the processing of personal data.

For information about the Data Controller, purposes, legal bases, recipients, transfers, retention and your GDPR rights, read the Privacy Policy.

15. Changes to This Cookie Policy

InkFireBook may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in legal requirements, website functionality, service providers or the technologies used.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
