1. About This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used when you visit or interact with conscious-creativity.institute (the “Website”) and its related features and services.
The Website is owned and operated by Olga Verasen.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal information.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files or similar data files that may be placed on or accessed from your device when you visit a website.
Cookies can perform different functions. For example, they may enable essential website functionality, remember preferences, help maintain security, support account or shopping features, provide information about website performance, or enable content supplied by third-party services.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (“session cookies”), while others may remain on your device for a specified period (“persistent cookies”).
3. Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, the Website and services integrated with it may use similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, software development tools, or other technologies that store or access information on a device or help us understand how the Website is used.
For purposes of this Cookie Policy, we generally refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies and similar technologies.”
4. Categories of Cookies and Similar Technologies We May Use
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the Website or particular services to function properly.
They may be used for purposes such as:
- website security;
- fraud and abuse prevention;
- network management;
- maintaining user sessions;
- account authentication;
- remembering privacy or cookie-consent choices;
- shopping cart and checkout functionality;
- processing transactions;
- load balancing; and
- other functionality necessary to provide a service requested by the user.
Because these technologies are necessary for the operation of the Website or requested services, they may not always be subject to consent where applicable law permits their use without consent.
4.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may enable additional Website features or remember choices you make.
They may be used, for example, to remember preferences or support functionality provided through integrated services.
Where required by applicable law, functional cookies that are not strictly necessary will be activated only after you provide the appropriate consent.
4.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics and performance technologies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website and how the Website performs.
They may provide information such as:
- pages viewed;
- approximate traffic patterns;
- referring pages or URLs;
- device and browser information;
- general interaction with Website features; and
- technical or performance information.
We currently use Jetpack Stats for Website statistics and performance-related insights.
At the time this Cookie Policy was last updated, we do not use Google Analytics on the Website. If we introduce Google Analytics or another analytics service in the future, we may update this Cookie Policy and our consent settings as appropriate.
Where consent is required by applicable law, non-essential analytics technologies will be used only after appropriate consent has been obtained.
4.4 Embedded Content and Third-Party Services
The Website may include or integrate content and functionality provided by third parties.
Depending on the services available on a particular page, these may include services such as:
- YouTube;
- Vimeo;
- Google Maps;
- Calendly;
- Zoom;
- Microsoft Teams; and
- social-media services or widgets.
Third-party embedded content may cause the relevant provider to place cookies or use similar technologies.
Where required by applicable law, we may prevent non-essential third-party content or technologies from loading until you provide consent.
4.5 E-Commerce and Payment Technologies
When e-commerce, checkout, subscription, or payment functionality is used, cookies and similar technologies may be used to support:
- shopping carts;
- checkout processes;
- transaction security;
- payment processing;
- fraud prevention;
- order management; and
- related functionality.
Depending on the services used, relevant providers may include WooCommerce, SureCart, Stripe, PayPal, Square, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or other payment or commerce providers.
Some of these technologies may be strictly necessary to provide a transaction or service requested by you.
4.6 Security and Infrastructure Technologies
Security, hosting, content-delivery, and infrastructure providers may use cookies or similar technologies where necessary to protect the Website, prevent malicious activity, manage traffic, or provide Website functionality.
These services may include technologies associated with WordPress, Automattic, Jetpack, Cloudflare, or other infrastructure and security providers used by the Website.
4.7 CRM, Communications, and Automation
Where enabled, technologies associated with customer relationship management, communications, subscriptions, or automation services may be used to support Website interactions and services.
These may include Jetpack CRM, Make.com, WordPress newsletter or subscription functionality, and other tools we use to manage communications or service-related processes.
Whether consent is required for a particular technology depends on its function and applicable law.
5. Advertising and Targeted Advertising
We do not currently use the Website for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not currently intend to use advertising cookies for that purpose.
If our practices change, we will update our cookie-consent configuration and this Cookie Policy as appropriate and provide any choices required by applicable law.
6. Cookie Consent and Your Choices
Where required by applicable law, we ask for your consent before placing or accessing cookies or similar technologies that are not strictly necessary.
Our cookie-consent tool may allow you to:
- accept cookies;
- reject non-essential cookies;
- customize your preferences; and
- change or withdraw previously provided consent.
Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required for the Website or a service you request to function.
You can change your cookie preferences through the cookie settings or consent controls made available on the Website.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
7. European Economic Area and United Kingdom
If you access the Website from the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or United Kingdom (“UK”), applicable privacy and electronic communications laws may require us to obtain consent before storing information on or accessing information from your device, except where a technology is strictly necessary or another applicable exemption applies.
Where required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will not be activated until the appropriate consent has been obtained.
You may refuse non-essential cookies and may withdraw or modify your consent through the cookie settings provided on the Website.
8. United States Privacy Choices
Depending on where you live and the nature of the technologies used, applicable U.S. state privacy laws may provide certain rights relating to personal information collected through cookies or similar technologies.
As described above, we do not currently use the Website for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising and do not sell personal information through advertising cookies.
If our practices change or additional rights become applicable, we will provide the notices and choices required by applicable law.
For more information about privacy rights and how to submit a privacy request, please see our Privacy Policy.
9. Browser and Device Settings
Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through browser settings.
Depending on your browser, you may be able to:
- view stored cookies;
- delete cookies;
- block some or all cookies;
- restrict third-party cookies; or
- configure notifications or other cookie preferences.
Blocking certain cookies may affect Website functionality. For example, account, shopping cart, checkout, security, preference, or other features may not work properly if cookies necessary for those functions are disabled.
Browser settings operate separately from the cookie-consent controls available on our Website.
10. Third-Party Cookies and Privacy Practices
Some cookies and similar technologies may be controlled by third-party providers rather than directly by Olga Verasen.
These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies, cookie policies, and legal obligations.
The availability and operation of third-party services may change over time. We encourage you to review the privacy information provided by relevant third-party services when you use them.
Our use of a third-party service does not necessarily mean that every cookie associated with that provider is active on every page or for every visitor.
11. Current Cookies Used on the Website
The specific cookies and similar technologies active on the Website may change as Website functionality, plugins, integrations, and third-party services change.
Our cookie-consent management tool may provide an up-to-date list of detected cookies, including information such as:
- cookie name;
- provider or domain;
- purpose;
- category; and
- duration, where available.
We periodically review the Website and may update the cookie list based on the technologies actually detected and used.
The cookie list generated through our cookie-consent management system should be consulted for the current technical details of cookies detected on the Website.
12. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect:
- changes to Website functionality;
- changes to cookies or similar technologies;
- changes to third-party services;
- changes to our business practices; or
- changes to applicable legal requirements.
When we make material changes, we may update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Cookie Policy and provide additional notice where appropriate or legally required.
