Cookie Policy for Newsletter Wizard

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, STACKADOC) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., analytics, interactive content).

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and potentially third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website (e.g., remembering preferences like theme settings). We may also use cookies for analytics purposes to understand how our Website is used.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

The specific types of first-party and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described below:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies:

  Purpose: These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Website and to enable you to use some of its features. They are necessary for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems without impacting how the site works.

  GDPR Basis: Usually processed based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional website or fulfilling a service requested by you. Consent is typically not required for these under GDPR, but we inform you about their use.

  Examples: Session management (if applicable), security features.

• Performance and Analytics Cookies:

  Purpose: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website for you.

  GDPR Basis: Processed based on your explicit consent provided via our cookie consent mechanism.

  Examples: Cookies used by analytics providers like Google Analytics (if used) to track page visits, traffic sources, and user interactions anonymously.

• Functionality Cookies:

  Purpose: These cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred theme or language) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

  GDPR Basis: Processed based on your explicit consent provided via our cookie consent mechanism.

  Examples: Remembering your theme preference (light/dark mode).

• Targeting/Advertising Cookies:

  Purpose: Currently, Newsletter Wizard does not actively use advertising cookies to display targeted ads. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated, and such cookies would be used to make advertising messages more relevant to you.

  GDPR Basis: Would require your explicit consent.

4. How Can You Control Cookies? (Your GDPR Rights)

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (except for strictly necessary ones).

• Cookie Consent Banner/Tool: When you first visit our Website, you should be presented with a cookie consent banner or tool. You can use this tool to customize your cookie preferences and provide or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies.
• Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
• Consequences of Disabling Cookies: If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this Website may become inaccessible or not function properly. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will likely impact the site's core functionality. Withdrawing consent for performance or functionality cookies will prevent us from gathering analytics data or remembering your preferences, respectively.

5. Third-Party Cookies

As mentioned, we may use third-party service providers (e.g., for analytics) who may set their own cookies on your device when you visit our Website. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control the placement of these cookies.

6. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
