This Cookie Policy explains how kylealexandrestruan.com and its associated subdomains (together, the “Site”), operated by Kyle Alexandre Struan, publishing under the imprint Noble House Press, use cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They allow a site to recognise your device, store information about your preferences or past actions, and help the site function properly. We also use similar technologies, such as local storage, which work in a similar way.
2. How We Obtain Your Consent
In compliance with the EU ePrivacy Directive and the Spanish LSSI-CE, we do not place any non-essential cookies on your device until you have given your explicit consent via our cookie banner.
By clicking “Accept all” on the banner, you consent to the use of all cookies listed below. By clicking “Reject non-essential”, only the strictly necessary cookies required for the Site to function will be placed. Both options are presented with equal visual weight, and no non-essential cookie is loaded before you make a choice. You can change your preferences or withdraw your consent at any time (see Section 5).
3. Cookies We Use
We categorise the cookies used on the main Site as follows:
| Category | Purpose | Provider | Duration | Can be disabled? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Remembers your cookie consent choice so the banner does not reappear on every visit. | CookieConsent (self-hosted) | Up to 182 days | No — required for the Site to function |
| Functional | Used by our newsletter signup form to remember your submission and avoid duplicate entries. | phpList (self-hosted) | Session / Persistent | Yes, via banner or browser |
| Analytics | Help us understand how visitors use the Site, so we can improve it. Collected through our own self-hosted analytics (Matomo) — not Google Analytics or any third-party analytics service. | Matomo (self-hosted) | Up to 180 days | Yes, via banner or browser |
| Third-Party / Embedded | Pages linking to or embedding our store (Payhip, Square, Printful) or social platforms may set their own cookies once you interact with that content. | Payhip, Square, social networks | Varies by provider | Depends on the third party |
The blog, hosted separately on WordPress, may use its own cookie management tools; see the note in Section 4.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by services we use to run the Site, rather than by us directly. This includes, where you click through to make a purchase, our store providers (Payhip and Square). These third parties are responsible for the cookies they set, and we encourage you to review their own cookie and privacy policies.
Our website analytics (Matomo) and our newsletter (phpList) are self-hosted on our own server and are not operated by an external company.
5. How to Control and Manage Cookies
Via our cookie banner
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time. Click Cookie Settings (also available in the footer of every page) to reopen the banner and update your choices.
Via browser settings
Most web browsers let you control cookies through their own settings, including viewing what cookies are stored on your device, blocking cookies from specific or all sites, and deleting cookies already stored. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functioning of the Site. For guidance, refer to your browser’s help documentation (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge).
6. “Do Not Track” Signals
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature. Our analytics platform (Matomo) is configured to honour this signal: if your browser sends a DNT request, our analytics tracking will not run, regardless of your cookie banner choice.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the providers we work with, or for legal and regulatory reasons. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
