Cookie Policy

How and why our website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Last update October 7, 2026.

Originally effective November 9, 2023. This revision is effective October 7, 2026, and applies from that date forward. Earlier versions continue to govern activity that took place before it.

Ghost Plugins is a brand operated by The Ghost Company, LLC (“Ghost,” “we,” “us”). This policy covers ghostplugins.com and related Ghost services, including plugins, templates, Plugin Studio, Ghost AI, workspaces, accounts, Ghost+ membership, and the scripts and files we host for installed products (together, the “Services”).

This Cookie Policy is our single, authoritative description of the cookies, local storage, and similar technologies used on our website. Cookies are small files stored in your browser; local storage works similarly but stays on your device.

Third-party technologies

  • Google Fonts: when pages load fonts from Google, your browser sends your IP address and browser details to Google. Google Fonts does not set cookies for this.
  • Stripe: Stripe checkout and billing pages set Stripe’s own cookies for payment security.
  • Hosting statistics: our hosting provider records page requests to produce aggregate traffic statistics, which can involve IP addresses and browser details.

What we do not use

We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking pixels, or third-party analytics scripts on our website.

Your choices

When you first visit, our cookie notice lets you accept or decline optional affiliate attribution. If you decline, we do not set the gh_ref referral cookie. Strictly necessary storage and preference settings stay active because the website needs them to work.

You can change your choice at any time. Resetting clears your choice and any referral cookie, and shows the notice again.

You can also block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Blocking necessary storage may stop sign-in and other features from working.
