Understanding how we use cookies and tracking technologies

Last Updated: January 15, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how CopierGuide (“we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, CopierGuide) 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 on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

Why We Use Cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function properly
  • Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our website
  • Functional Cookies: Enable enhanced functionality and personalization
  • Targeting/Advertising Cookies: Deliver relevant advertisements to you
  • Analytics Cookies: Help us improve our website based on user behavior

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

Examples:

  • • Session cookies for authentication
  • • Security cookies to prevent fraudulent use
  • • Load balancing cookies for server distribution

2. Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.

Services we use:

  • • Google Analytics: Web traffic analysis (analytics.google.com)
  • • Firebase Analytics: User behavior tracking
  • • Core Web Vitals: Performance monitoring

3. Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

Examples:

  • • Remembering your preferences (e.g., language, region)
  • • Saving items in your comparison list
  • • Maintaining your login state

4. Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites.

Services we use:

  • • Google Ads: Targeted advertising
  • • Facebook Pixel: Social media advertising
  • • LinkedIn Insights: B2B advertising

Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other tracking technologies:

  • Web Beacons (Pixels): Small graphic images that allow us to monitor user activity and collect data about how you use our site
  • Local Storage: Allows us to store information locally on your device for improved performance
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that is cleared when you close your browser
  • Server Logs: Automatically collect information about your visit, including IP address, browser type, and pages visited

How Long Do Cookies Last?

Cookies have different lifespans:

  • Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser
  • Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. These cookies help us recognize you when you return to our site

Typical retention periods: Essential cookies (session-based), Analytics cookies (up to 26 months), Advertising cookies (up to 13 months)

Opt-Out Tools

You can opt out of certain cookies using these tools:

Note: Blocking or deleting cookies may impact your experience on our website. Some features may not function properly, and you may need to re-enter information.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. We currently do not respond to DNT signals because there is no universally accepted standard for how companies should respond to such signals. However, you can use the opt-out methods described above to limit tracking.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. The “Last Updated” date at the top indicates when this policy was last revised.
