We sell digital PDF guides to help you grow your skills, organize your life, or help in your day to day problems. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and why—so you can shop with confidence.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They help websites remember you, your preferences, and things like what's in your shopping cart.
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies to:
-
Keep your cart and checkout working – so your PDF guides stay ready for purchase.
-
Understand how you found us – e.g., from Google, Pinterest, or a friend's link.
-
Improve your experience – remember your preferences (like dark mode or language).
-
Analytics – see which guides are most popular and how to make our site better.
Types of cookies we use
| Cookie Type | What it does | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Required for our store to work. You can't turn these off. | Cart, checkout, security, bot detection |
| Performance & Analytics | Help us count visits and traffic sources. | Shopify Analytics, Google Analytics |
| Functionality | Remember your choices (e.g., currency, region). | Currency preference, login status |
| Marketing | Track your visits across websites to show relevant ads (e.g., for our PDF guides). | Facebook Pixel, Google Ads |
Do we use third-party cookies?
Yes — Shopify (our platform) and services like Google, PayPal, or Facebook may place cookies to power payments, analytics, or ads. We don't sell your personal data, but these partners may use cookies according to their own policies.
How long do cookies last?
-
Session cookies – deleted when you close your browser.
-
Persistent cookies – stay on your device for a set time (e.g., 30 days) unless you delete them.
Cookie Banner on Our Store
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner that asks for your consent before we load any non-essential cookies (such as analytics or marketing cookies). This banner is required by privacy laws like GDPR (Europe) and CCPA (California).
What the cookie banner does:
-
Appears on your first visit to our homepage or other store pages
-
Asks you to Accept or Decline non-essential cookies
-
Stores your choice so you won't see the banner on every page
-
If you decline, analytics and marketing cookies will not be activated
For technical reasons, the cookie banner does not appear on Shopify's checkout page itself due to platform limitations. However, your consent choice is remembered and applied throughout your entire shopping experience, including checkout, using Shopify's Customer Privacy API.
Your choices
You can control or delete cookies at any time:
-
Via the cookie banner – click "Decline" or "Accept" when you first visit
-
Via your browser settings – most browsers let you block or clear cookies in Settings > Privacy
-
Via Shopify customer privacy – if you're a California or GDPR-region resident, see our [Privacy Policy] for additional rights
⚠️ Please note: Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break cart and checkout functions — so you might not be able to buy our PDF guides.
