Cookie Policy
Version 1.2.0 · effective 2026-10-29
This Cookie Policy explains how https://webmaster-ramos.com (the "Website"), operated by Ruslan Moskalenko under the trade name Webmaster Ramos, uses cookies and similar technologies. It is published in compliance with Article 22.2 of the Spanish Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI-CE) and Article 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy Directive), as amended.
1. What cookies are
1.1. A "cookie" is a small text file that a website places on the Customer's device when the Customer visits the website. Cookies allow the website to recognise the device on subsequent visits, store preferences, keep authentication state, measure traffic, and similar functions.
1.2. This policy uses the term "cookies" to refer collectively to HTTP cookies, web storage entries (localStorage, sessionStorage), pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies.
2. Categories used on this Website
The Website uses three categories of cookies:
| Category | Consent required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | No (Art. 22.2 exemption) | Authentication, session management, security, CSRF protection, cookie consent itself |
| Analytics | Yes – opt-in | Understand how the Website is used and how to improve it |
| Marketing | Yes – opt-in | Currently not in use; reserved for future advertising integrations |
The Customer's consent to non-essential categories is collected through the cookie banner shown on the first visit and is recorded for thirteen (13) months from the last interaction. Consent can be withdrawn at any time through the cookie preferences link in the footer.
3. Cookies in detail
3.1. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the Website to function and cannot be switched off. They are placed without prior consent under the LSSI-CE Art. 22.2 exemption for cookies "strictly necessary for the provision of a service expressly requested by the user". Blocking these cookies through the browser will prevent authentication, checkout, account operations, and security protections from working – the Customer remains free to do so but accepts that the Website may become unusable as a consequence, and the Licensor is not liable for any issue resulting from such blocking.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
wr_session |
webmaster-ramos.com | Authentication and session state for logged-in users | 30 days |
wr_csrf |
webmaster-ramos.com | Protection against Cross-Site Request Forgery | 24 hours |
wr_oauth_state, wr_oauth_next, wr_oauth_signup |
webmaster-ramos.com | Security state and return address while the Customer signs in with GitHub or Google | 10 minutes |
wr_pending_audit |
webmaster-ramos.com | Keeps an audit request made before sign-in so it can run once the Customer has signed in | 24 hours |
cookie_consent (localStorage) |
webmaster-ramos.com | Records the Customer's cookie-consent choices and the policy version they were given for | Until this policy changes or the Customer clears it |
| Interface state (localStorage) | webmaster-ramos.com | Remembers a dismissed legal-update notice and the progress of an audit started in this browser | Until the Customer clears it |
3.2. Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies are loaded only after the Customer's express opt-in through the cookie banner. They help the Licensor understand which content is most useful and where improvements are needed. Until the Customer grants analytics consent, Google Analytics 4 operates in a cookieless mode under Google Consent Mode v2 and sets no cookies, and Microsoft Clarity is not loaded at all.
The Website uses the following analytics providers:
- Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd.) – aggregate traffic and usage measurement.
- Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd.) – session-behaviour analytics: heatmaps, aggregated interaction metrics and session recordings (replays of how a page was scrolled, clicked and navigated). Clarity masks sensitive input by default, and the Licensor does not use the recordings to identify visitors.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
_ga_* |
Google Analytics 4 | Persists session state per property | 2 years |
_clck |
Microsoft Clarity | Persists a Clarity user ID and consent state for the Website | 1 year |
_clsk |
Microsoft Clarity | Connects multiple page views within a single session | 1 day |
Microsoft may set additional cookies on its own clarity.ms and
bing.com domains to operate the service. Both providers may process
data outside the European Economic Area; such transfers rely on the EU
Standard Contractual Clauses and, for the United States, the EU-US Data
Privacy Framework. For details see the respective provider policies:
Google and
Microsoft.
3.3. Marketing cookies
The Website does not set marketing or advertising cookies and does
not currently integrate any third-party advertising network. Where the
Customer grants marketing consent, the Google Consent Mode v2 signals
ad_user_data and ad_personalization are set to "granted" so that any
future advertising integration can honour that choice; no advertising
cookies are placed until such an integration is added, at which point
this section will be updated and consent will be re-collected.
3.4. Third-party cookies and embedded content
The Website may load content from third-party providers necessary for its operation:
- Cloudflare – content delivery and DDoS protection. Cloudflare may set cookies for security and load-balancing purposes. See https://www.cloudflare.com/cookie-policy/.
- Stripe – payment processing on checkout pages only. Stripe sets cookies required for fraud prevention and 3D Secure flows. See https://stripe.com/cookies-policy/legal.
These third parties may set their own cookies under the strictly-necessary basis (where the cookie is required to deliver the requested service) or after consent. Please consult the respective provider's policies for details.
3.5. Cookieless audience measurement
The Website also counts its own page views, without cookies and without
storing anything on the Customer's device. When a page loads, the browser
sends the Website the page address, the domain of the site the Customer came
from, and any campaign tags in the link (utm_source, utm_medium,
utm_content). The Website adds them to daily totals. It stores no IP
address, device or browser identifier, or user-agent, never links the totals
to an account, order or message, and keeps them for at most twenty-five (25)
months. This measurement serves only to understand the Website's own audience
and is exempt from consent under LSSI-CE Art. 22.2, as interpreted in the
Spanish Data Protection Agency's guidance on audience-measurement tools. The
Privacy Policy describes it as well.
4. Managing cookies
4.1. Through the Website
The Customer may revisit cookie preferences at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer. Changes take effect from the next page load.
4.2. Through the browser
Most browsers allow blocking, deleting, or restricting cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will likely break authentication, checkout, and other interactive features.
4.3. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
The Website respects the "Global Privacy Control" (GPC) signal: when it is detected, non-essential categories are kept opted out and the cookie banner is not shown.
The legacy "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal is not treated as a rejection, because it is deprecated and has no agreed meaning. A Customer whose browser sends it still sees the cookie banner, and every non-essential category stays off unless the Customer opts in.
5. Updates to this policy
The Licensor may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies used or in the applicable law. Updates are published at this URL with the previous version archived at a permanent link.
Material changes that affect the categories or providers in use trigger a re-collection of consent through the cookie banner.
6. Contact
For any question relating to this Cookie Policy, the Customer may write to contact@webmaster-ramos.com or via the contact form. Full identification of the Licensor is published at Legal Notice.
This Cookie Policy is published as version 1.2.0 with effective date indicated on the public page.
