Cookie Policy
cliphearth.com sets no cookies while you browse - only one short-lived cookie when you buy a license. This page lists everything the site can store in your browser, what needs your consent, and how to change your mind. Visit statistics are collected without any identifier on your device (see the Privacy Policy).
01Strictly necessary storage
These items are needed for the site to work or to remember your choice. They need no consent.
| Name | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| ch-consent | localStorage (our domain) | 12 months | Remembers your cookie choice and its version, so we don't ask again. |
| ch_checkout | Cookie (our domain, httpOnly) | 24 hours | Set when you start a checkout. Lets the confirmation page show your license key only in the browser you paid with. Contains no personal data, only a code tied to that checkout. |
| ch-checkout-session | sessionStorage (our domain) | Until you close the tab | Keeps the checkout reference on the confirmation page when you reload it. |
| ch_admin | Cookie (our domain, httpOnly) | Session, up to 7 days | Login session for site staff only. Never set for visitors. |
| __cf_bm, cf_clearance | Cookie (Cloudflare) | 30 minutes / up to 1 year | Set by Cloudflare only when it has to verify suspicious traffic, to tell people from bots. |
02Analytics (only with your consent)
| Name | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| ch-vid | localStorage (our domain) | 13 months | A random visitor id sent only to our own servers, so we can recognise returning visits and see which pages lead to downloads and purchases. No third parties involved. |
Without this consent we still count page views and downloads, but only as daily totals derived from a number that changes every day and cannot be linked back to you. Nothing is stored in your browser for that.
03Marketing (only with your consent)
When you allow Marketing, the site loads Google Tag Manager with Google Ads tags, so that we can measure whether our advertising works and show ClipHearth ads to people who visited the site. This category is offered only while we run advertising campaigns. Google sets, for example:
| Name | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| _gcl_au, _gcl_aw | Cookie (our domain, set by Google tags) | 90 days | Links a click on a Google ad to a later download or purchase (conversion measurement). |
| IDE, test_cookie | Cookie (doubleclick.net) | 13 months / 15 minutes | Google's advertising cookies used for remarketing and to check whether cookies can be set. |
Google processes this data under its own privacy policy. Until you allow this category, no request is made to any Google server.
04Managing your choice
- Use Cookie settings in the page footer to change or withdraw your choice at any time (the link appears whenever an optional category is available). Withdrawing deletes the analytics id and stops the marketing tags.
- If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as "reject all" and do not show the banner.
- We ask again after 12 months, or sooner if this policy changes in a way that affects your choice.
- You can also delete or block storage in your browser's settings; the site keeps working.
05Changes
The version at the top of this page matches the version stored with your choice. When a new category is added, you will be asked again before anything new is stored.
