This Cookie Policy explains how CloudAtelier uses cookies and similar technologies on www.cloudatelier.shop.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide reporting information. We also use localStorage — a similar browser-side storage mechanism that never leaves your device.

2. Cookies We Use

We use a combination of essential storage and analytics cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, marketing trackers or retargeting pixels.

Essential Storage (localStorage)

These are stored entirely on your device and are never transmitted to our servers or any third party.

Name	Purpose	Type	Duration
ca_cc_v2	Stores your cookie consent choice (accepted / declined) so we don't ask repeatedly.	Essential (localStorage)	Until manually cleared

Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site. GA4 sets the following cookies:

Name	Purpose	Type	Duration
_ga	Distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated number.	Analytics (cookie)	2 years
_ga_*	Used by GA4 to maintain session state.	Analytics (cookie)	2 years

GA4 data is anonymized and used solely to improve our website. We have IP anonymization enabled. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

3. Third-Party Services

Firebase (hosting) — Our site is hosted on Firebase Hosting (Google). Firebase may set functional cookies for security and performance. See Firebase's Privacy documentation.

Google Analytics 4 — See the analytics cookies table above. See Google's Privacy Policy.

Google Fonts (typography) — Google may process your IP address to serve font files. No personal data is stored by us in this process. See Google's Privacy Policy.

4. Affiliate Links

When you click affiliate links on our site, the destination website may place their own cookies on your device, subject to their own cookie policy. We have no control over these cookies.

5. Your Choices

• Cookie banner: Click "Accept" or "Decline" when you first visit our site.
• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Check your browser help for instructions.
• Google Analytics opt-out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Clear localStorage: Open your browser developer tools → Application → Local Storage → delete the ca_cc_v2 key.

6. No Advertising or Behavioural Tracking

While we use Google Analytics 4 for website usage statistics, we do not use:

• Facebook Pixel or any ad retargeting tools
• Behavioural advertising cookies
• Cross-site tracking technologies
• Marketing or profiling cookies

If we add any advertising or behavioural tracking technologies in the future, this policy will be updated and you will be informed via the cookie banner.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. Changes are reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
