Cookie Policy

At The Bottom Line, we value your privacy and transparency in the use of technologies on our website. This Cookie Policy informs you about what cookies are, which ones we use, and why.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store in your browser or device to remember information about your visit, facilitate technical functionality, or personalize the user experience.

2. Cookies We Use

Under a strict privacy policy and technical minimalism, we declare that we only use essential cookies necessary for payment processing through the Stripe checkout gateway. These cookies enable:

• Maintaining transaction security.
• Preventing fraud in payment processing.
• Ensuring the Stripe payment session completes correctly.

These technical cookies are temporarily downloaded when interacting with the purchase link and cannot be disabled, as the website would be unable to process transactions without them.

3. What We Do NOT Do

Unlike most websites on the internet, at The Bottom Line:

• We do not use tracking cookies to track your behavior across the web.
• We do not use targeted advertising cookies or third-party marketing cookies.
• We do not use Google Analytics or other invasive traffic analysis scripts. We measure site interaction statically, directly from Nginx server logs, fully respecting your digital footprint.

4. How to Manage Cookies

Since we only use strictly necessary cookies for secure Stripe payment processing, you do not need to configure complex advertising consent panels. However, if you wish to block Stripe cookies, you may do so directly in your browser settings, keeping in mind that you will not be able to complete the online audit purchase.
