COOKIE INFORMATION
Cookie Policy
How KnownAndSeen uses cookies and similar technologies on this website.
Last updated: September 16, 2026
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels and tags, may also store or access information on a device. In this Policy, we use “cookies” to refer to these technologies collectively where appropriate.
Cookies can support essential website functions, remember preferences, help prevent fraud, measure performance or, when enabled, support analytics and advertising.
2. Who is responsible for cookies on this website?
KnownAndSeen is the trading name under which Touili Mohammed provides press release writing, editorial preparation, distribution and reporting services. KnownAndSeen is responsible for cookies placed directly through this website, except where a third party determines its own purposes and methods of processing.
Questions about cookies may be sent to contact@knownandseen.com.
3. Cookie categories
| Category | Purpose | Consent |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, network management, consent storage, checkout integrity and functions requested by the visitor. | Normally not required where the cookie is strictly necessary. |
| Functional | Remember optional settings or provide enhanced website features. | Requested where required by applicable law. |
| Analytics | Understand website usage and performance through aggregated or statistical information. | Requested unless a lawful exemption applies. |
| Advertising | Measure campaigns, personalize advertising or track activity across services. | Required before placement where applicable. |
4. Cookies currently used or potentially triggered
| Provider or function | Category | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| KnownAndSeen consent preferences | Strictly necessary | Stores whether you accepted, rejected or customized optional-cookie choices. | Up to 12 months, unless renewed or deleted earlier. |
| WordPress and website security | Strictly necessary | Supports core website operation, security, session integrity and administrative functions where required. | Session or limited persistent duration, depending on function. |
| Contact and form protection | Strictly necessary | Helps submit requested forms and protect them against spam or abuse when the relevant protection is enabled. | Session or provider-defined duration. |
| Stripe | Strictly necessary for checkout | Supports payment processing, fraud prevention, security and checkout functionality when you access a Stripe-powered payment page. | Session or the period defined by Stripe for security and fraud-prevention purposes. |
Cookie names and technical durations can change when WordPress components, security services or payment providers are updated. The consent interface displayed on the website should provide the most current device-level list where available.
5. Analytics and advertising technologies
As of the date shown above, KnownAndSeen does not intentionally activate non-essential analytics or advertising cookies unless they are disclosed through the website’s consent interface and, where required, you have provided consent.
If analytics, advertising pixels or similar technologies are introduced later, this Policy and the consent interface will be updated to identify their purposes, providers and available controls before they are used where prior consent is required.
6. Stripe and payment cookies
When you proceed to a Stripe-powered checkout or payment page, Stripe may use cookies and similar technologies for payment processing, authentication, fraud detection, security, service functionality and compliance. Some of these technologies may be strictly necessary to complete the payment you request.
Stripe controls its own cookie practices on Stripe-operated services. More information is available in Stripe’s Cookie Policy and Stripe’s Privacy Policy.
7. WordPress, Elementor and Contact Form 7
The website is built using WordPress and Elementor and may use Contact Form 7. These technologies do not necessarily place optional cookies on every visit, but core functions, security settings, embedded content, anti-spam services or administrator sessions may trigger storage when required.
If an additional anti-spam, analytics, video, map or embedded-media service is enabled, its cookies must be identified in the consent interface and blocked until consent where legally required.
8. Consent and your choices
Where consent is required, optional cookies should remain disabled until you make a choice. You may accept all optional cookies, reject them or select categories through the cookie banner or preference interface displayed on the website.
Rejecting optional cookies must not prevent access to ordinary website content. Some optional features may not work if you disable the cookies required specifically for those features.
You may withdraw or change consent at any time through the website’s cookie-preference control. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before your choice changed.
9. Managing cookies through your browser
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their privacy or security settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent checkout, forms or other necessary functions from working properly.
10. Cookie duration
Session cookies are generally deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their configured expiry date or until you delete them. Consent preferences may be retained for up to 12 months so that the website can remember your choice, unless a shorter period is required or you delete the cookie earlier.
Third-party providers may apply different durations for necessary security and fraud-prevention cookies. Review their policies for current details.
11. International transfers
Some technology and payment providers may process cookie-related information outside your country, including in the United States or the European Economic Area. Where required, appropriate legal safeguards are used as described in our Privacy Policy.
12. Your privacy rights
Cookie identifiers and related device information may constitute personal information. Depending on applicable law, you may have rights of access, correction, deletion, objection, restriction, portability or withdrawal of consent. See our Privacy Policy for details and instructions.
If you are located in France, you may submit a complaint to the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL) through www.cnil.fr.
13. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when technologies, providers or legal requirements change. The updated date will appear at the top of this page. Material changes to optional-cookie practices will be reflected in the consent interface where required.
