This website is built with WordPress. WordPress may use cookies to support:
- User authentication.
- Logged-in sessions.
- Administrative access.
- Language or display preferences.
- Comment functionality where comments are enabled.
- Testing whether a browser accepts cookies.

The CDJ Books store uses WooCommerce. WooCommerce may place cookies when a visitor interacts with store features.
These cookies may support:
- Shopping-cart contents.
- Recently viewed products.
- Checkout sessions.
- Customer-account sessions.
- Order attribution.

07
Affiliate Referral Cookies
CDJ Enterprises uses AffiliateWP to administer its affiliate program.
When a visitor follows an approved affiliate referral link, AffiliateWP may store referral information in the visitor’s browser.
This information may be used to:
- Identify the referring affiliate.
- Record a referral visit.
- Associate a qualifying purchase with an affiliate.
- Calculate an eligible commission.
- Support campaign reporting.
- Prevent referral abuse or manipulation.
Configuration check: Confirm the current AffiliateWP cookie-expiration period under AffiliateWP → Settings → Commissions → Cookie Expiration. The policy should match the actual configured period.
Affiliate referral cookies may remain active for [INSERT CURRENT AFFILIATE COOKIE PERIOD] days unless they expire earlier, are deleted, or are otherwise limited by consent settings or browser controls.
Deleting the referral cookie before a purchase may prevent the referring affiliate from receiving credit for that transaction.
08
Contact Forms, Security, and Fraud Prevention
Website forms, security systems, firewalls, anti-spam tools, login protections, payment providers, and fraud-prevention services may use cookies or related browser technologies.
These technologies may help:
- Distinguish legitimate visitors from automated traffic.
- Prevent repeated fraudulent submissions.
- Protect customer and affiliate accounts.
- Detect suspicious checkout activity.
- Maintain secure sessions.
- Protect administrative access.
Blocking necessary security cookies may prevent forms, login, checkout, or other protected functions from working correctly.
09
YouTube and Embedded Media
The website includes embedded YouTube videos.
Where practical, CDJ Enterprises uses YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embed domain:
youtube-nocookie.com
YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode is designed to limit how views of embedded videos influence a viewer’s browsing experience. However, Google or YouTube may still receive information when the player loads or when a visitor interacts with a video.
This information may include:
- IP address.
- Browser and device information.
- Video interactions.
- Referring page information.
- Account information where the visitor is signed in to Google.
Where required, embedded videos should remain blocked until the visitor accepts the relevant cookie or media category.
10
Analytics and Performance Technologies
CDJ Enterprises may use analytics or performance technologies to understand how visitors use the website and to identify technical problems.
Analytics information may include:
- Pages viewed.
- Approximate visit duration.
- Referring websites or campaigns.
- Browser and device type.
- Approximate geographic region.
- Website errors and performance measurements.
- Interactions with links, products, or forms.
Complete before publication: Confirm whether Google Analytics, Google Site Kit, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, advertising pixels, or another analytics service is currently active. Add each active provider to this policy and to the cookie-consent configuration.
Analytics and advertising technologies should not load before the required consent has been obtained in jurisdictions where prior consent is required.
11
Third-Party Cookies and Technologies
Some cookies or similar technologies may be placed or controlled by third-party service providers.
Depending on the services enabled, third parties may include:
- Payment processors.
- YouTube or Google.
- Analytics providers.
- Spam and security providers.
- Shipping or tax-calculation providers.
- Email or communication providers.
- Affiliate or campaign-tracking providers.
Third parties process information according to their own terms and privacy policies. CDJ Enterprises does not control every cookie or identifier placed by an independent provider.
12
How Long Cookies Remain
Cookies may be classified by duration:
Session cookies
Session cookies usually expire when the browser is closed or when the relevant session ends.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies remain until their scheduled expiration date, until the visitor deletes them, or until they are removed through consent controls.
The duration depends on:
- The purpose of the cookie.
- The WordPress or WooCommerce feature involved.
- The AffiliateWP cookie-expiration setting.
- The third-party provider’s configuration.
- The visitor’s browser settings.
- The visitor’s consent choices.
13
Your Cookie Choices
Where a cookie-consent tool is available, visitors may be able to:
- Accept all optional cookies.
- Reject all optional cookies.
- Accept selected cookie categories.
- Change previously selected preferences.
- Withdraw consent for future optional-cookie use.
Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they support essential website, account, security, cart, checkout, or consent functions.
Implementation requirement: The website’s cookie banner must provide controls that match the promises made in this policy. A notice-only banner is not enough where prior consent and category-level controls are required.
14
Browser and Device Controls
Most browsers allow users to:
- View stored cookies.
- Delete individual or all cookies.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Block cookies from selected websites.
- Block all cookies.
- Receive a notification before a cookie is stored.
The relevant controls are usually available in the browser’s privacy, security, site-data, or cookie settings.
Blocking all cookies may prevent:
- Customer or affiliate login.
- Shopping-cart retention.
- Checkout completion.
- Cookie-preference storage.
- Affiliate attribution.
- Embedded-video playback.
15
Changing or Withdrawing Consent
Where consent is the basis for using an optional cookie, you may change or withdraw that consent through the website’s cookie preference control.
Withdrawing consent:
- Applies to future optional-cookie use.
- Does not make prior lawful processing invalid.
- May prevent some optional features from functioning.
- May not automatically delete every cookie already stored by a third party.
You may also clear stored cookies through your browser settings.
