Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 30, 2026
This policy explains how Chris Greer Press LLC (“Chris Greer Press,” “we,” “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on chrisgreerpress.com (the “Site”). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They serve various purposes: remembering your preferences, understanding how you use the site, and enabling certain functionality. Cookies may be set by the site you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services embedded in the site (“third-party cookies”).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential functionality: Remembering your cookie consent preferences.
- Analytics: Understanding how visitors use the Site so we can improve it. Cookie-based analytics runs only with your consent.
- Marketing: This category exists so the choice is yours if it ever applies. We currently run no marketing or advertising technology of any kind — no ad networks, no retargeting, no conversion or social pixels — so leaving it on changes nothing today.
3. Cookie Categories
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to function. They cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| cgp_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie preferences (categories accepted/rejected, version, timestamp) | 1 year | First-party |
3.2 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site. They collect anonymized usage data. These cookies are only set if you consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics: distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years | Third-party |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics: maintains session state | 2 years | Third-party |
3.3 Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver relevant content and measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. They are only set if you consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| No marketing cookies are currently in use. This section will be updated if marketing tools are added. | |||
4. Third-Party Services
The Site uses the following third-party services that may set their own cookies:
- Google Analytics (Google LLC): Web analytics, loaded only on this site’s live domain and set to delete its data after 14 months. It runs in a cookieless mode until you consent, and IP addresses are anonymized by Google before storage as standard in Google Analytics 4. Data is processed in the U.S. Subject to Google’s Privacy Policy.
- Vercel (Vercel Inc.): Site hosting and edge delivery, plus Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights. These measure page views and loading performance without cookies — they store nothing on your device and do not identify you, so they are not covered by the consent categories above and run on every visit. Subject to Vercel’s Privacy Policy.
- Supabase (Supabase Inc.): Database storage for forms you submit. Accessed only by our server, never by your browser, and it sets no cookie. Subject to Supabase’s Privacy Policy.
5. Google Consent Mode v2
We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which ensures that Google services respect your cookie preferences. When you reject analytics or marketing cookies, Google tags operate in a privacy-safe “cookieless” mode that does not store cookies on your device. Consent signals are passed to Google in real time when you update your preferences.
6. Managing Your Cookies
6.1 Through Our Site
You can update your cookie preferences at any time using the button below. Your preferences are stored in the cgp_cookie_consent cookie and take effect immediately.
6.2 Through Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View and delete existing cookies.
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
- Set preferences for specific websites.
Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the Site from functioning correctly.
7. Your Rights
GDPR (EU/UK)
Under the General Data Protection Regulation, non-essential cookies require your explicit consent before they are set. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time. We do not set analytics or marketing cookies until you affirmatively consent via the cookie banner.
CCPA (California)
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, you have the right to know what personal information is collected via cookies and to opt out. We do not sell personal information collected through cookies.
ePrivacy Directive (EU)
We comply with the ePrivacy Directive by obtaining consent before setting non-essential cookies and providing clear information about each cookie’s purpose and duration.
8. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal, and some send a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. There is no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT, but we treat either signal as equivalent to rejecting analytics and marketing cookies.
In practice that means you will not see a cookie banner at all, no consent is recorded, and Google Analytics is loaded in its denied state so it sets no cookie. If you would rather opt in despite the signal, you can still do so with the preferences button above — an explicit choice on this Site takes precedence over a blanket browser setting.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the cookie consent version, which will re-prompt you to review and accept the updated policy. Changes are posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
