COOKIE POLICY

Last updated: July 22, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Kijo Ecom LLC, operating under the brand name Mystic Publishing (“Mystic Publishing,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit thehiddencodexofreality.com.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your computer, mobile device, or browser when you visit a website.

Cookies and similar technologies can help websites operate correctly, remember preferences, maintain shopping cart and checkout functionality, protect against fraud, understand website activity, and measure advertising performance.

Similar technologies may include pixels, local storage, tags, scripts, software development kits, and device identifiers.

2. HOW WE USE COOKIES

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Operate the website and online store.
• Maintain shopping cart and checkout functionality.
• Process and protect payments.
• Deliver digital products.
• Remember customer and cookie preferences.
• Detect fraud, abuse, and security threats.
• Maintain website performance and reliability.
• Understand how visitors interact with the website.
• Measure advertising campaigns and purchases.
• Display or measure relevant advertising, where permitted.

The cookies used may depend on the pages you visit, the features you use, your location, your consent choices, and the services that are active on the website.

3. STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES

Strictly necessary cookies are required for important website functions and cannot normally be disabled through our cookie preference system.

These cookies may be used for:

• Shopping cart functionality.
• Checkout and order processing.
• Digital product delivery.
• Payment security.
• Fraud prevention.
• Website and network security.
• Remembering cookie-consent choices.
• Maintaining a temporary website session.
• Administrative login and website management.

WooCommerce may use cookies such as:

• woocommerce_cart_hash
• woocommerce_items_in_cart
• wp_woocommerce_session_

These cookies help WooCommerce determine when cart contents change, remember whether a customer has items in the cart, and identify an individual shopping session.

Other necessary cookies may be created by WordPress, our cookie-consent system, payment providers, security services, or hosting infrastructure.

Because these cookies are necessary to provide a service requested by the visitor, they may be used without optional advertising consent where permitted by applicable law.

4. FUNCTIONAL COOKIES

Functional cookies help provide additional website features and remember choices made by visitors.

They may be used to remember:

• Website or display preferences.
• Selected payment options.
• Customer or checkout preferences.
• Previously entered information where enabled.
• Language or regional settings.
• Whether a particular website notice has been displayed.

Disabling functional cookies may cause some optional features to work differently or become unavailable.

5. PAYMENT AND CHECKOUT TECHNOLOGIES

We use third-party payment providers, including Stripe and PayPal.

When you visit the checkout page, interact with a payment form, or select a payment method, these providers may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Process payments.
• Maintain a secure checkout session.
• Recognize checkout interactions.
• Detect and prevent fraud.
• Verify devices and transactions.
• Remember payment-related preferences.
• Provide accelerated checkout features where available.
• Comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

Payment providers process information according to their own terms, privacy policies, and cookie practices.

Some payment and security technologies may be strictly necessary to complete the transaction requested by the customer.

6. SECURITY AND PERFORMANCE COOKIES

Our website uses Cloudflare and may use other hosting, caching, performance, or security services.

These services may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Identify trusted website traffic.
• Detect malicious requests and automated activity.
• Protect the website against attacks.
• Confirm that a visitor has completed a security challenge.
• Manage network traffic.
• Improve website reliability and performance.
• Prevent fraud and unauthorized access.

Depending on the Cloudflare features triggered during a visit, security cookies may include cookies such as cf_clearance or other Cloudflare identifiers.

Some visitors may not receive these cookies unless a specific security or verification feature is activated.

7. ADVERTISING AND META PIXEL

We use Meta Pixel and related Meta advertising technologies.

These technologies help us:

• Measure visits, checkouts, and purchases.
• Understand whether an advertisement resulted in website activity.
• Create advertising audiences.
• Retarget previous website visitors.
• Measure and improve advertising performance.
• Reduce irrelevant advertising.

Depending on your browser, device, consent choices, and Meta settings, Meta may receive information such as:

• Pages viewed.
• Products viewed or purchased.
• Checkout and purchase events.
• Browser and device information.
• IP address.
• Cookie or advertising identifiers.
• Referring source.
• Transaction or order information that does not include full payment card details.
• Hashed contact information where supported and enabled.

Meta may combine information received through its business tools with information it already holds, in accordance with its own privacy policies.

Where consent is legally required, Meta Pixel and other non-essential advertising technologies should not be activated until you provide consent.

You can reject or withdraw consent for advertising cookies through the cookie settings available on our website.

8. ANALYTICS AND MEASUREMENT

We may use website measurement technologies to understand general website activity and improve website performance.

Depending on the technologies enabled, measurement information may include:

• Pages visited.
• Approximate visit duration.
• Referring website or advertising source.
• Browser and device type.
• Approximate geographic region.
• Checkout and purchase activity.
• Errors or website performance information.

Some measurement may be performed through WooCommerce, Meta Pixel, payment providers, server logs, or other services used to operate the website.

Where analytics or measurement cookies are not strictly necessary and consent is required, they will be controlled through the available cookie preferences.

9. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

Some cookies or similar technologies may be controlled by third-party service providers rather than directly by us.

These providers may include:

• WooCommerce and WordPress-related services.
• Stripe.
• PayPal.
• Cloudflare.
• Meta.
• Website hosting and security providers.
• Email, checkout, and digital-delivery services.
• Cookie-consent providers.

Third parties may process information as our service providers or for their own purposes under their respective privacy and cookie policies.

We do not control every cookie that a third party may place after you interact with its service, visit its website, or choose its payment method.

10. COOKIE DURATION

Cookies may be either:

Session cookies

These normally expire when you close your browser or after a limited session period.

Persistent cookies

These remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose, the service that placed it, the applicable settings, and your browser choices.

Cookies may also be renewed when you revisit the website or interact with a relevant service.

11. MANAGING YOUR COOKIE PREFERENCES

Where available, you can use our cookie banner or cookie settings to:

• Accept all optional cookies.
• Reject non-essential cookies.
• Choose particular cookie categories.
• Change or withdraw a previous choice.

Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent you from accessing the main website. However, some features, payment methods, personalization, or website functions may operate differently.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot normally be disabled through the cookie banner because they are required to operate the website, process requested transactions, provide security, or remember your privacy choices.

12. BROWSER CONTROLS

Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through browser settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• Delete existing cookies.
• Block all cookies.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Receive a warning before a cookie is stored.
• Clear cookies when the browser closes.
• Use private or incognito browsing.

Blocking all cookies may prevent the shopping cart, checkout, payment, download, login, or other important website features from operating correctly.

Browser controls do not necessarily prevent every form of tracking or similar technology.

13. DO NOT TRACK AND PRIVACY SIGNALS

Some browsers and devices provide Do Not Track or similar privacy signals.

Because there is not a single universally applied standard for every signal, our website and third-party services may respond differently depending on the technology, location, configuration, and applicable law.

Where legally required and technically supported, we may recognize applicable opt-out or privacy preference signals.

You may also use our cookie settings to manage available choices directly.

14. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change our website, plugins, payment providers, advertising technologies, security services, business practices, or legal obligations.

When this policy is updated, the “Last updated” date at the top of the page will be changed.

We recommend reviewing this page periodically for current information about our use of cookies and similar technologies.
