Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and similar technologies Shopnil IT LLC ("Shopnil IT", "we") uses on shopnilit.com and in our Client and Editors Portals (clients.shopnilit.com, editors.shopnilit.com), why we use them and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy notice (/privacy).

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies — such as local storage and session storage in your browser — work in a comparable way. Some are set by us ("first-party"); others are set by services we use ("third-party").

How we ask for your consent

When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept all optional cookies, reject them, or choose by category. Strictly necessary cookies are always on, because the site cannot work without them. Optional cookies are never switched on before you agree, and you can change your choice at any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page. Your choice is remembered for up to 180 days, and we ask again when this policy changes.

Strictly necessary

These keep the website and portals secure and working. They cannot be switched off.

  • sit_consent — remembers your cookie choice and the policy version you agreed to (up to 180 days, shared by shopnilit.com and our portals).
  • sit_theme — remembers whether you chose the light or the dark theme (1 year).
  • clients_session / editors_session — keep you signed in to the Client or Editors Portal (httpOnly, ends after inactivity or at most after 7 days).
  • clients_device / editors_device — remember a device you chose to trust after the sign-in code, so you are not asked for a code every time (httpOnly, 7 days).
  • clients_ref — remembers the affiliate link a new client arrived through, so the right partner is credited (httpOnly, 30 days by default, only when you arrive through such a link).
  • Security check — Google reCAPTCHA or Cloudflare Turnstile protects sign-in, sign-up and contact forms against automated abuse; these services may set their own cookies (for example _GRECAPTCHA, up to 6 months).
  • site_preview, clients_preview, editors_preview — used only by our team to preview pages before they are published (httpOnly, 7 days).

Functional

These remember choices that make the site easier to use and show third-party content you can choose to load:

  • Trustpilot review widgets — show our live rating and reviews from Trustpilot. Trustpilot may set its own cookies; see trustpilot.com for details.
  • Local storage of your theme and interface choices in the portals (for example portal_theme), kept in your browser only.

Analytics

These help us understand how visitors use the website and the portals, so we can improve them. They only run after you agree to Analytics cookies.

  • Our own visitor counter — an anonymous visitor and session number kept in your browser's local and session storage; it records pages viewed and never builds an advertising profile. It also respects "Do Not Track" and "Global Privacy Control".
  • Google Analytics 4 — _ga and _ga_<ID> distinguish visits and sessions (up to 2 years). Google signals and ad personalisation are switched off.
  • Microsoft Clarity — _clck and _clsk (up to 1 year and 1 day) plus Microsoft's CLID, MUID, MR, SM, SRM_B and ANONCHK help Clarity group a visit into one session recording. In the portals every page is masked, so no text, names, files or prices are recorded.

Marketing

We do not use marketing or advertising cookies at the moment. If we ever add them, they will stay off until you agree to the Marketing category, and this policy will be updated first.

Other third-party services

  • Trustpilot (invitejs.trustpilot.com) — loaded on our pages so Trustpilot can verify our website and collect genuine reviews.
  • DMCA.com — the "DMCA Protection Status" badge in the footer loads an image from dmca.com to show that our content is protected; clicking it opens DMCA’s status page for the page you were on.
  • Stripe — card payments in the Client Portal happen on Stripe's own secure pages, which use Stripe's cookies under Stripe's policy.

These services act under their own privacy and cookie policies.

Managing cookies in your browser

Besides "Cookie settings", every browser lets you view, block and delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop sign-in to the portals from working. Deleting cookies also deletes your cookie choice, so the banner will ask again.

Changes to this policy

We update this policy when the cookies we use change. The date below shows the latest version; when the change matters, we ask for your consent again.
