COOKIE POLICY

1. WHAT THIS COVERS

This Cookie Policy explains how The Alcove LLC, a California limited liability company (“The Alcove,” “we,” “us,” “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies on www.agreementsatelier.com and on any funnel, checkout, or membership page we operate for The Agreements Atelier.

It is part of, and should be read with, our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use & Purchase.

Plain English: cookies are how the site remembers your cart, how we know which pages people actually read, and how our ads follow you around the internet. Here’s exactly which ones do what, and how to turn off the ones that aren’t essential.

2. WHAT COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES ARE

A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device so it can recognize your browser later. First-party cookies are set by us. Third-party cookies are set by a vendor whose code runs on our pages. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser; persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them.

We also use technologies that work like cookies:

· Pixels and web beacons — a tiny invisible image or snippet in a page or email that reports back that you loaded it, and what you clicked.

· Tags and scripts — code that loads a vendor’s functionality, such as analytics or an advertising tracker.

· Local storage — a browser storage area that holds small amounts of data, similar to a cookie but with more room.

· Server logs — records our hosting keeps of requests, including IP address and browser type.

3. THE CATEGORIES WE USE

3.1 Strictly necessary

These make the site work. They keep you logged in, hold the contents of your cart, route you through checkout, deliver your files, remember your cookie choices, and protect against fraud and abuse.

These cannot be switched off through a consent tool. If you block them in your browser, checkout, downloads, and course access will break.

3.2 Functional

These remember preferences — a form you partly filled in, a video position, a dismissed banner — so you don’t have to redo things. Blocking these degrades convenience but not core function.

3.3 Analytics and performance

These tell us, in aggregate, how people find the site, which pages they read, where they abandon a checkout, and what’s broken. We use this to improve the shop. We do not use analytics to make decisions about individuals.

3.4 Advertising and retargeting

These let advertising platforms recognize your browser, measure whether an ad led to a purchase, and show you our ads on other sites and apps. This is the category most likely to be treated as “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising — or, under some state laws, a “sale” — even though no money changes hands for your data. Section 6 explains how to opt out.
