Privacy choices

Cookie Policy

This policy explains the browser cookies and similar storage used by DIY Credit Repair and how optional choices can be managed.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small browser records used by websites to remember information between page requests. Similar browser storage can serve related purposes. Some technologies are necessary for a secure website session, while others are optional and may be used for convenience, measurement or marketing only where configured.

2. Strictly necessary cookies

DIY Credit Repair uses strictly necessary cookies or equivalent session technology for core functions such as WordPress security, authentication, member sessions, WooCommerce cart or checkout state, fraud/security controls and saving your cookie preference. These functions cannot be switched off through the optional cookie controls because the website would not operate correctly without them.

Depending on the page and whether you are signed in or using checkout, examples can include WordPress authentication/session cookies, WooCommerce session/cart cookies and the dcr_cookie_consent preference cookie. WordPress and WooCommerce cookie names can include technical prefixes or suffixes and may change between software versions.

3. Functional cookies

Functional cookies are optional technologies that can remember non-essential preferences or enable convenience features. The v0.5.0.8.1 consent foundation provides a separate Functional choice. No additional DIY Credit Repair functional-cookie integration is enabled merely by installing this release.

4. Analytics cookies

Analytics technologies can be used to understand how visitors use a website, which pages are useful and where the experience can be improved. The consent foundation keeps the Analytics category off until a visitor chooses to allow it. An analytics integration must be separately configured to respect this category before it is used.

5. Marketing cookies

Marketing technologies can be used for advertising, campaign measurement or audience-related features. The consent foundation keeps the Marketing category off until a visitor chooses to allow it. A marketing integration must be separately configured to respect this category before it is used.

6. Payment and external websites

When you leave DIY Credit Repair for a hosted payment page, credit-bureau portal or another external service, that provider may use its own cookies under its own privacy and cookie information. DIY Credit Repair’s cookie settings cannot control cookies set on a separate external domain.

7. Your consent choices

On your first visit, or when the consent version changes, the website asks you to choose whether optional Functional, Analytics and Marketing categories may be used. You can accept all optional categories, continue with essential cookies only, or make a category-by-category choice. Your browser preference is stored for a limited period so you are not asked on every page.

8. Consent records

For accountability and troubleshooting, the platform can keep a limited consent event recording the category choices, consent version, time, optional logged-in user ID and a keyed hash derived from the connection address. The consent log does not store browsing history, page contents, credit-report data or the full connection address.

9. Changing or deleting cookies

You can use the Cookie Settings control on this website to change optional choices. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings. Deleting the DIY Credit Repair consent cookie will cause the website to ask for your preference again. Blocking all cookies in the browser can prevent login, checkout and other necessary features from working correctly.

10. Changes to this policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated when the website introduces or removes technologies, changes providers or materially changes how optional categories are used. Where a change requires a fresh choice, the consent version can be changed so visitors are asked again.

11. Contact
