What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to operate more efficiently, and to provide information to website operators. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or access information stored on your device beyond what was placed there by the website. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the website you are visiting, typically by analytics or advertising services.

Cookies We Use

ClearDraft Digital uses the following categories of cookies on cleardraft.digital:

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, navigating between pages, or filling in forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and do not require your consent under applicable law. The cookie used to store your cookie consent preference (cd_consent) falls into this category.

Analytics Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance. Analytics cookies are only placed with your consent.

Functional Cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences between visits. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. Functional cookies are only placed with your consent.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit cleardraft.digital, a cookie consent panel appears on the right side of your screen. This panel allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies by category. Your preferences are saved in the cd_consent cookie for 365 days. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will cause the consent panel to reappear. You may also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific websites. Please note that blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary cookies, may affect the functionality of this website. For guidance on managing cookies in your specific browser, refer to your browser's help documentation. The following links provide information for commonly used browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. ClearDraft Digital does not currently respond to browser-based Do Not Track signals, but we do honor the cookie preferences you set through our consent panel.

Third-Party Services and Cookies

Our website may include content or features from third-party services, such as an embedded Google Maps iframe on our contact page. These third-party services may set their own cookies when you interact with embedded content. ClearDraft Digital does not control third-party cookies and is not responsible for them. The use of cookies by third parties is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review the cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with through our website. Google's privacy practices are described at policies.google.com/privacy.

Legal Basis for Cookie Use

The use of strictly necessary cookies does not require your consent as these are essential for the website to function. The use of analytics and functional cookies is based on your consent, which you provide through the cookie consent panel on this website. This approach is consistent with the requirements of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines and general principles of informed consent for non-essential data processing. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences as described in the Managing Your Cookie Preferences section above.
