Summary
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which ones Attention Keeper uses on its website, and how you can control them. We use essential cookies to make the website work and, only if you accept them, functional cookies for live chat and analytics cookies to understand how the website is used. We do not use advertising cookies. When you first visit, a banner lets you accept or decline optional cookies, and you can change your choices at any time with the Manage Cookies button at the bottom left of every page.
Cookies are small pieces of text that a website you visit sends to your web browser. A cookie file is stored in your browser and allows the website or a third party to recognize you and make your next visit easier and more useful.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.
We also use similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, which work in a similar way. In this policy, "cookies" includes them.
When you use and access the Service, we may place a number of cookies files in your web browser. We use cookies for the following purposes:
- To make the website work and remember your choices
- To provide live chat, if you accept functional cookies
- To understand how visitors use our website, if you accept analytics cookies
- To keep the website secure, prevent spam and fix errors
We use both session and persistent cookies on the Service and we use different types of cookies to run the Service.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our website and to enable you to use some of its features. Without these cookies, the services that you have asked for cannot be provided, and we only use these cookies to provide you with those services.
Examples include cookies that:
- Remember your cookie choices
- Remember your language and theme
- Keep you signed in to your account
- Prevent duplicate poll votes and protect our forms from spam
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable optional features. At present, this means live chat provided by Crisp, which uses cookies to keep your conversation going across pages and visits. Crisp loads only if you accept functional cookies.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies are used to collect information about traffic to our website and how users use our website. The information gathered via these cookies does not "directly" identify any individual visitor. However, it may render such visitors "indirectly identifiable". This is because the information collected is typically linked to a pseudonymous identifier associated with the device you use to access our website.
We use Microsoft Clarity, which records how visitors interact with our pages, such as clicks, scrolling and mouse movements, so we can improve the website. It collects information about:
- The number of visitors to the site
- Where visitors have come to the site from
- The pages they visited
- How they interact with the site
- How long they stay on each page
Clarity masks the text you type into form fields by default. We use this information to improve our website and do not use it to identify you. Clarity loads only if you accept analytics cookies. If you accept them, we also count blog readers using a one-way hash of your IP address.
Advertising Cookies
We do not use advertising or targeting cookies, and we do not allow advertising networks to place cookies on our website. If this changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first.
In addition to our own cookies, some cookies and similar technologies on our website come from service providers.
These providers are:
- Crisp, for live chat (functional)
- Microsoft Clarity, for analytics
- Sentry, for error monitoring (does not set cookies)
- ipapi.co, for approximate location lookups from your IP address (does not set cookies)
Each third party sets its own cookies according to its privacy policy. We do not control these third-party cookies and we recommend checking the privacy policies of these third parties to understand how they use cookies.
When you first visit our website, a banner asks whether you accept optional cookies. Essential cookies are always on, because the website cannot work without them. Optional cookies load only after you accept them.
You can change your choices at any time with the Manage Cookies button at the bottom left of every page.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a refusal of analytics cookies, even if you accepted them earlier.
If you'd like to delete cookies or instruct your web browser to delete or refuse cookies, please visit the help pages of your web browser.
Here are links to instructions for some popular browsers:
Please note, however, that if you delete cookies or refuse to accept them, you might not be able to use all of the features we offer, you may not be able to store your preferences, and some of our pages might not display properly.
Your browser may send a Do Not Track signal. Because there is no common standard for how websites should respond to it, our website does not change its behavior in response to Do Not Track. We do honor Global Privacy Control: when your browser sends it, analytics cookies stay off. Your choices in Manage Cookies are always respected.
The length of time a cookie will remain on your device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies will remain on your device until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.
