This plugin sets a cookie (HyroesStickyBarClosed) in the visitor's browser when they close the sticky bar. This cookie only stores a simple "closed" status and does not collect any personal information or track users. The cookie expires after the configured number of hours (default: 24 hours). No data is sent to external servers except for the AJAX requests used to update the countdown timer, which do not contain any personal information.
