Privacy and cookies

soulstone.co uses Google Analytics 4 to see how the site is used. It only runs if you accept analytics cookies in the bar at the bottom of the page.

What happens before you accept

Google Analytics is loaded in Google's Consent Mode with analytics storage denied. No analytics cookies are set until you choose Accept.

What happens after you accept

Google Analytics sets its cookies (_ga and _ga_ followed by the property id) and records which pages you visit. Your IP address is handled by Google as part of Google Analytics.

No advertising

Ad storage, ad user data and ad personalisation are always denied. Nothing on this site is used for advertising or ad personalisation.

Where your choice is stored

Your choice is stored in your browser's localStorage under the key ss_consent, as either granted or denied. It stays until you change it or clear your browser's site data.

Changing your choice

Change cookie choice. This clears the stored choice and shows the bar again. You can also clear this site's data in your browser settings.

The teardown request form

What you enter in the teardown form on the homepage and on /teardown/ (name, email, store URL, revenue band, country, the problem you describe and the page you sent it from) goes to a Google Apps Script owned by Soulstone and is stored in a Google Sheet there. It is used to reply to your request and for nothing else: no list, no newsletter, no sharing. Ask at the address below if you want it deleted.

If you arrive from another site or from a link with campaign parameters, that first visit is stored in localStorage on this device for 30 days and is included with the teardown form only when you submit it; it does not use cookies and does not depend on your analytics choice.
