1. What Cookies And Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Similar technologies can include local storage, session storage, scripts, pixels, and embedded content that help a website operate, remember choices, process transactions, or measure usage.
2. Essential Technologies
Essential cookies and similar technologies are required for authentication, antiforgery protection, security, session continuity, consent storage, checkout, payment functionality, and access control. These are not optional because disabling them may prevent login, account access, checkout, paid products, or security features from working.
The application uses ASP.NET Core Identity and ASP.NET Core security features. Exact cookie names may vary by
framework configuration, browser, environment, or provider implementation. The site also stores your cookie
consent choice in a first-party cookie named ccf_cookie_consent.
3. Optional Analytics
Correct Code Press uses Google Analytics 4 only after analytics consent is granted. Analytics helps us understand page usage, interactions, approximate technical context, and site performance. Analytics consent defaults to denied, and Google Analytics is not loaded until you accept analytics. Rejecting analytics prevents Correct Code Press from sending that visitor's activity to Google Analytics.
4. Payments And Third Parties
Stripe may use cookies or similar technologies for checkout, payment processing, fraud prevention, and security. Stripe processes technical and transaction information according to its own policies.
5. YouTube Embeds
Where practical, embedded YouTube videos use YouTube's privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com domain.
Embedded video providers may still receive technical information when a video is loaded or played, and may process
that information according to their own policies.
6. Managing Preferences
You can accept analytics, reject nonessential technologies, or change your decision later using Cookie Settings in the footer. Rejecting analytics does not prevent access to normal public content, login, purchases, or paid products. Withdrawing analytics consent stops future Google Analytics collection where technically possible, but it does not retroactively erase data already processed before withdrawal.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may prevent important site features from functioning.
7. Consent Storage
The consent record stores the consent policy version, essential consent state, analytics consent state, and the decision timestamp. It does not intentionally store personal information and expires after approximately six months.
