Cookie Policy

1. About This Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how our Digital Products Store ("Platform", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, local storage, and related technologies to provide a secure, efficient, and consistent digital commerce experience. Please read this alongside our Privacy Policy.

Cookies are small data files stored on your browser or device when visiting websites. Similar mechanisms include local storage keys, session storage, and security beacons. For convenience, these technologies are collectively referred to as "Cookies".

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

We utilize cookies in strict adherence to data minimization principles:

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Essential for the core technical operation and transaction integrity of the store. These cannot be disabled in our systems:

• Authentication & Sessions: Retaining your authenticated membership state across secure pages;
• Checkout & Digital Fulfillment: Maintaining checkout state and anti-tamper order verification during payment processing;
• Security & Bot Prevention: Leveraging verification services (e.g., Cloudflare Turnstile) to detect automated scrapers, credential stuffing, and payment fraud;
• Notification Persistence: Storing read timestamps for site announcements to avoid redundant popups.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies via browser settings will prevent you from signing in, completing checkouts, or accessing delivered digital products.

2. Preference and Functional Cookies

Allowing our website to remember your personal browsing selections:

• Remembering your language selection (e.g., English or Chinese);
• Storing your visual theme preference (Dark Mode or Light Mode);
• Preserving table pagination and search filter preferences.

3. Analytics and Performance Cookies

When analytical tools (e.g., Google Analytics or privacy-centric Plausible) are enabled, these cookies collect aggregated, anonymized metrics:

• Identifying popular digital product categories and high-frequency search keywords;
• Measuring page response latency and technical performance across regions;
• Helping us refine catalog navigation and resource discovery.

4. Third-Party Service and Gateway Cookies

When you engage with external services on our platform, third-party providers may set cookies within their own domains:

• Payment Gateways (such as Stripe, Creem, Waffo, PayPal): Necessary operational cookies deployed on hosted payment pages to satisfy PCI-DSS security and anti-fraud protocols;
• OAuth Providers (such as Google OAuth): Safeguarding third-party login verifications;
• Customer Support Widgets: Maintaining persistent communication history and support ticket tokens.

3. Cookie Retention Durations

• Session Cookies: Automatically cleared when you close your browser tab or terminate your session;
• Persistent Cookies: Retained on your device for their predetermined lifespan (e.g., persisting login tokens or language preferences) until expiration or manual deletion.

4. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You maintain full control over cookies stored on your device:

1. Browser Configurations: You can manage, inspect, or delete cookies via your browser's "Privacy and Security" settings (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, etc.), or configure blocking of third-party cookies;
2. Operational Impact: Please note that completely disabling cookies will impair critical functions, preventing successful sign-in, order fulfillment, or card-code extraction.

5. Amendments and Inquiries

We may periodically revise this Cookie Policy to reflect technical enhancements or regulatory updates. The latest version will always be published on this page with the updated date. For any questions, please contact us through our official customer support desk.
