This policy explains how SquareSync for Woo uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and services.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you use our site, and improve your experience.
This cookie policy applies to our marketing website (squaresyncforwoo.com) and customer dashboard only. The plugin installed on your WordPress site does not set cookies on your behalf.
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website and services.
Essential cookies are necessary for our website and services to function properly. These cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for basic functionality. Essential cookies we use include: • Session Cookies: Maintain your logged-in state when accessing your account dashboard. These expire when you close your browser or after a period of inactivity. • Security Cookies: Help protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks and other security threats. • Load Balancing: Ensure consistent performance by directing your requests to the same server. • Cookie Consent: Remember your cookie preferences so we don't ask you repeatedly. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and are strictly necessary for the operation of our services.
Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalisation. While not strictly necessary, they improve your experience on our website. Functional cookies we use include: • Preference Cookies: Remember your settings such as language preference, theme (light/dark mode), and display options. • Form Data: Temporarily store information you've entered in forms to prevent data loss if you navigate away accidentally. • Recently Viewed: Remember which documentation pages or features you've recently viewed to help you navigate. You can disable functional cookies, but some features may not work as intended.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. This information helps us improve our content, user experience, and services. We use privacy-focused analytics that: • Collect anonymised, aggregated data about page views, traffic sources, and user journeys. • Do not track individual users across websites. • Do not sell data to third parties. • Respect Do Not Track browser settings where applicable. Information collected includes: • Pages visited and time spent on each page • How you arrived at our site (search engine, direct link, etc.) • General geographic region (country/city level, not precise location) • Device type, browser, and operating system We do not use analytics cookies to build individual user profiles or for advertising purposes.
Some third-party services we use may set their own cookies. We carefully select partners who respect user privacy. Third-party cookies on our site may include: • Stripe: When you make a payment, Stripe may set cookies for fraud prevention and to remember your payment preferences. See Stripe's Cookie Policy for details. • Help Documentation: If we embed external help resources, they may set cookies to track documentation usage. • Video Content: Embedded videos (if any) from platforms like YouTube or Vimeo may set cookies according to their own policies. We do not allow advertising networks or social media tracking pixels on our website. We do not use cookies for retargeting or behavioural advertising.
You have several options for managing cookies: Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies. Common browser instructions: • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data Browser Extensions: Privacy-focused browser extensions can give you more granular control over cookies and tracking. Opt-Out Links: For specific third-party services, you can often opt out directly: • Google Analytics: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout Important Notes: • Clearing cookies will log you out of your account. • Blocking all cookies may prevent you from using certain features. • Cookie settings are browser-specific; you'll need to configure each browser you use.
The SquareSync for Woo plugin installed on your WordPress site operates independently of our website cookies. Plugin Behaviour: • The plugin does not set any cookies on your WooCommerce store's frontend for your customers. • The plugin may use WordPress's built-in session handling for admin users when configuring settings. • License validation is performed via secure API calls, not cookies. Your Customers: The plugin does not add any tracking or cookies that would affect your customers' privacy. Any cookies on your WooCommerce store are determined by your WordPress installation, theme, and other plugins—not by SquareSync for Woo. This means you don't need to update your store's cookie policy specifically for our plugin.
Do Not Track (DNT) is a browser setting that requests websites not to track your browsing activity. Our Response to DNT: We respect Do Not Track signals where technically feasible. When we detect a DNT signal: • We minimise data collection to essential functions only. • We disable non-essential analytics where possible. • We do not override your preference with cookie consent prompts for non-essential cookies. Note that DNT is not universally standardised, and not all third-party services honour DNT signals. For maximum privacy, we recommend combining DNT with browser cookie controls.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes: • We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. • For significant changes, we may notify you via email or a prominent notice on our website. • We will provide a summary of material changes where appropriate. Your continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
