Privacy
BellePopups does not send data to external servers and does not create its own cookies. To avoid showing a closed notice repeatedly, it may use browser local storage with keys prefixed with bellepopups_*.
This storage only remembers that a notice was closed and, when applicable, when that close state expires. It does not contain personal data, does not store IP addresses, does not store emails, and does not identify the visitor.
BellePopups does not include its own external tracking.
Uninstall
In this version, BellePopups does not automatically delete notices created by the user when the plugin is uninstalled. This conservative behavior helps avoid accidental content loss.
