Overview
This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on Copic.com (the “website”). It describes the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
Cookie Banner
We display a cookie banner when you first visit the website to inform you about our use of cookies and to provide options to manage analytic cookies, where applicable. Choices you make via the banner will be honored on subsequent visits, subject to cookie expiration or changes to our practices.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files used to store small pieces of information. They are stored on your device when a website loads in your browser. These cookies help ensure that the website functions properly, enhance security, provide a better user experience, and analyze website performance and activity.
Global Privacy Control and Google Consent Mode
We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Google Consent Mode (GCM) signals sent by your browser or extension. When we detect a GPC or GCM signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of analytics tracking to the extent technically feasible and applicable to our use of cookies on the website.
Types of Cookies We Use
Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the operation of the website and to provide features you expressly request, such as page navigation, load balancing, security, and accessibility. Because the website cannot function properly without these cookies, they cannot be switched off in our systems. Necessary cookies do not collect any personally identifiable data. You may set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website will not work. Examples include cookies used for: (a) core page rendering and session integrity; (b) fraud prevention and security; and (c) consent storage and honoring GPC and banner choices.
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (“GA4”) to help us understand how visitors interact with the website so we can measure and improve performance. We do not collect user identification, do not attach analytics data to login or user identity, and do not use any user-provided data with GA4. We use the Universal Analytics Tag and Configuration Tag for the following purposes:
(a) Detect returning visitors and collate baseline traffic patterns.
(b) Measure performance metrics such as time spent on the website, clicks, and scroll depth, without attaching such data to login or user identity.
(c) Monitor when certain actions take place on the site, such as requesting a quote or clicking to call the Copic phone number.
(d) Provide approximate geolocation and granular location data (city, state).
(e) Provide browser and device information.
These analytics cookies are subject to your consent choices expressed via the cookie banner and any GPC or GCM signals we receive.
How We Use Analytics Data
We use aggregated and de-identified analytics data to: (a) understand website usage and improve content and navigation; (b) diagnose technical issues and measure load performance; and (c) assess the effectiveness of website features.
We do not sell analytics data. We do not share analytics data with third parties for their own independent marketing or advertising purposes.
Data Handling and Sharing
- We do not collect user identification or use any user-provided data for analytics.
- Data collected via GA4 is processed to generate reports for our internal use.
- We do not sell or share analytics data.
- Google may process analytics data on our behalf as our service provider. Please refer to Google’s privacy policy for details on how GA4 operates and how Google processes data in its role as a service provider to us.
Your Choices
(a) Cookie Banner Controls: You can manage analytics cookies through the cookie banner when you first visit and any time thereafter via the consent preferences button available on the website.
(b) Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. If you block necessary cookies, parts of the website may not function.
(c) Global Privacy Control: If your browser or extension sends a GPC signal, we will treat it as an opt-out request for analytic tracking to the extent applicable to our website.
(d) Google Analytics Controls: You may use Google’s opt-out tools where available.
Retention
Cookies persist for varying durations. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their set expiration. Analytics data is retained by us in aggregated form for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above and then deleted or further de-identified. Specific retention periods for GA4 may be configured within our account settings.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “last updated” at the top indicates when it was last revised. Material changes will be communicated via the website, the cookie banner, or other appropriate means.
