Cookie Policy

1. What this policy covers
This policy explains how bless.team uses cookies, other browser storage and related technologies. The website operator is identified in the Website Terms and Conditions. The Privacy Policy explains personal data processing and provides the contact for privacy questions.
Cookies are small files that a website stores in your browser. Local storage is a different browser facility that can retain a preference after you close a page. A script can also send measurements without using either technology. For that reason, this policy covers more than cookies.
2. Technologies and their purposes
| Name or technology | Provider and category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
bless.team.theme, localStorage on bless.team | bless.team; requested display preference | Remembers the light or dark theme you choose | Until you change the preference or remove the site’s stored data |
bless.team.privacy, localStorage on bless.team | bless.team; privacy preference | Remembers allow/refuse, the decision date, expiry and purpose version; contains no analytics identifier or form fields | The choice is valid for 180 days unless changed or cleared earlier; expiry is checked by the site |
bless.team.analytics-deletion-refs, localStorage | bless.team; deletion requests | Signed references let this browser request deletion of its previous analytics IDs; never used to track visits | Retained until a deletion request is accepted or until you clear browser storage |
bless.team.deletion-requested, sessionStorage | bless.team; request confirmation | Show the accepted-request notice after returning to the homepage | Removed when shown; otherwise until the tab closes |
| Cloudflare Turnstile browser and connection signals | Cloudflare; form security | Helps distinguish people from automated abuse when using the form | Pending verified information |
| PostHog persistent browser identifier in localStorage; exact entries: Pending verified information | bless.team / PostHog; optional analytics | Connects permitted repeat visits in the same browser; supports session and cleaned referral information | Used only while permission is valid; local analytics data is cleared on withdrawal or when the site detects expiry/loss of permission; shorter SDK lifetimes are included in the inventory |
| PostHog software and measurement requests | PostHog; optional analytics | Selected visits/actions, form outcomes, errors, performance, approximate country and masked session replay | Loaded only after permission; server-side retention is described separately in the Privacy Policy |
Additional browser storage used for site security: Pending verified information.
The privacy preference does not store the contents of your enquiry. A stored refusal is a setting that helps us respect your choice; it is not an analytics identifier. localStorage has no automatic expiry timer: a value can remain physically present until the site next runs its expiry check or you clear it. An expired choice cannot authorise analytics. The site checks before activation and sending, including when an open page resumes.
3. Necessary functions and optional analytics
We use storage needed to provide a preference you request, such as your chosen theme or privacy setting, for that purpose only. Access to or storage of information on your device is subject to Article 5 of Portuguese Law 41/2004. The exception from consent for strictly necessary technology applies only where its conditions are met; security is not a blanket exemption for every technology.
Our selected configuration keeps Turnstile pre-clearance off. This feature therefore does not issue a cf_clearance cookie. Other Cloudflare security features can have their own storage, which is covered by the inventory above. See Cloudflare’s Turnstile information.
PostHog analytics uses localStorage after permission, including a persistent random browser identifier. Our selected persistence mode does not add an analytics cookie; the exact SDK storage entries are listed above. Browser storage still requires the applicable permission even when it is not a cookie. With your permission, PostHog also maintains a pseudonymous profile and records website interactions for session replay to diagnose usability problems. Form fields and potentially personal text are masked before transmission and contact-form contents are excluded. We do not use fingerprinting to restore deleted identifiers. We do not sell personal data or recordings. Cloudflare estimates the country from the network connection and our site passes only the country code to PostHog. PostHog geographic enrichment is disabled and the original IP is excluded from stored analytics events. The Privacy Policy describes the processing and providers. See also PostHog’s Privacy Policy.
We do not use advertising cookies, marketing pixels or newsletter tracking. The Privacy Policy explains the legal bases for any associated personal data processing; a GDPR legal basis does not by itself replace the device-access rules.
4. Allowing analytics and changing your choice
Open Privacy & choices in the footer. The expanded choices appear above the Privacy Policy; the first-visit popup offers the same allow/refuse actions.
- Allow analytics & replay permits the site to load PostHog, create the analytics identifier and pseudonymous profile, and record masked website interactions for session replay.
- Do not allow keeps it off or switches it off.
- Closing the window with its close button, pressing Escape or clicking outside it also switches browser analytics off, including after a previous permission.
Following the policy link, opening or leaving the full privacy page, reading a policy or continuing to browse does not change your choice or give permission. The popup’s close-to-refuse rule applies to dismissing the popup, not to navigation to the policy. The contact form remains available when analytics is off. Its consent to use enquiry data is a separate choice.
We apply the saved choice on later visits in the same browser for 180 days unless changed or cleared earlier. You can change it at any time; if the purpose changes materially or a new analytics provider requires a new choice, we ask again before activating that processing.
To delete PostHog analytics linked to this browser, select Request deletion of analytics data in Privacy & choices. The request covers the associated profile, events and session recordings. Once accepted, we reset the saved choice and return you to the homepage, where analytics stays off until you make a new choice. PostHog processes deletion under its documented data-deletion procedures; event deletion is asynchronous. For other personal data, or if the browser reference is unavailable, contact us as described in the Privacy Policy. Enquiries and email correspondence follow the process described there.
5. Browser controls
You can inspect, block or delete cookies and site data through your browser settings. Removing the saved theme resets that preference. Removing the privacy preference removes the saved choice; browser analytics stays off until you allow it again.
Choices apply to the browser and device where you make them. If you use a different browser or device, or clear site data, you may need to choose again. Blocking all browser storage or security technology can affect the form or prevent preferences from being saved. If the form cannot be used, the Website Terms and Conditions list our general contact details.
6. Changes and questions
We update this policy and its inventory when the technologies used on the site change. The version and effective date appear above. For questions about these technologies or your data, use the contact in the Privacy Policy.
