Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work properly, improve browsing efficiency, and provide structured operational reporting to site owners.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies and browser storage keys used on cliptickerjollyfd.garden into three distinct tiers:

Cookie Identifier Classification Operational Purpose Duration

clipticker_cookie_pref Functional Records your consent choices so the banner does not repeatedly prompt you on subsequent visits. 12 Months
_pk_ref_metric Analytical (Optional) Collects anonymous, aggregated data on viewport size, general region, and guide completion rates. 6 Months

3. Essential vs. Non-Essential Cookies

Strictly Essential Cookies: These are required for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or navigating between protected pages.

Performance and Functional Cookies: These enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your module progress. If you do not allow these cookies, some features may not function at peak efficiency.

4. How to Manage and Opt Out via Your Browser

In addition to our on-site cookie banner, you can control or delete cookies directly through your web browser settings. Most modern browsers let you view stored cookies, delete them individually, block third-party trackers, or reject cookies altogether.
