1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Writer4Cheap (writer4cheap.online) ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website, mobile application, or any other services provided by AtomWriter (collectively, the "Services"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, AtomWriter) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
3. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our Services to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Services. Third parties serve cookies through our Services for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
4.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with our Services and to use some of their features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Services, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Services function.

6. Your Choices Regarding Cookies
6.1 Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our Services, you will be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking on the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of our website.
6.2 Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, as it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.
6.3 Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Since there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our Services do not currently respond to browser DNT signals.
7. Other Tracking Technologies
7.1 Web Beacons
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Services or opened an email that we have sent them.
7.2 Local Storage
We may also use local storage objects (LSOs) such as HTML5 to store content information and preferences. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5 LSOs.
7.3 Device Fingerprinting
In some cases, we may use device fingerprinting technologies to identify devices. These technologies analyze the information that your device sends (including information about your browser, operating system, device hardware, and network information) to identify your device distinctively.
8. How Often Will We Update This Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
