Cookies Policy
Last updated:
This Cookies Policy explains in detail how Washuelifeie ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at washuelifeie.ddd. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information more broadly. By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy, except where your consent is required by law and you have not given it.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to give website owners useful information about how their site is used. Cookies typically contain a unique identifier (a string of letters and numbers) and the name of the website that set them; they may also contain information such as the duration for which they remain on your device and a value (e.g., a preference or an identifier). When you return to the website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember information about your visit. Cookies can be "first-party" cookies, which are set by the website you are visiting (in this case, washuelifeie.world), or "third-party" cookies, which are set by a different domain (such as an analytics provider or an embedded content provider). Cookies can also be classified as "session" cookies, which are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.
Other Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we and our service providers may use other technologies that serve similar functions or that work together with cookies to collect or store information. These may include the following:
- Local storage (e.g., HTML5 local storage and session storage): Local storage allows websites to store data in your browser that persists after you close the browser or turn off your device, until the data is cleared. Session storage is similar but the data is deleted when you close the browser tab or window. We may use local storage to remember that you have accepted our cookie or privacy notice so that we do not show the notice again on subsequent visits, or to store other preferences.
- Pixel tags and web beacons: These are small, often transparent, graphics (usually a single pixel) that are embedded in a web page or an email. They can be used to track whether a page or email has been viewed, to count how many users have visited a page, or to deliver a cookie to your browser. They may work in conjunction with cookies.
- Scripts and similar technologies: We may use scripts (e.g., JavaScript) to enable certain functionality on our website and to support the use of cookies and the other technologies described in this policy.
When we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we may be referring to cookies and these similar technologies collectively, where the context allows.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary: These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable basic features such as page navigation, access to secure areas (if any), and remembering that you have accepted our privacy or cookie notice so that we do not show it again. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they are typically set in response to actions you take, such as accepting our notice or loading a page. They may be first-party session or persistent cookies.
- Functionality: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as language or region preferences) and to provide enhanced or more personal features. They may be used to remember that you have accepted our cookie banner, to keep you logged in if we offer account functionality, or to remember other settings. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
- Performance and analytics: These cookies collect information about how you use the website, such as which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, whether you encounter any errors, and how you arrived at our site (e.g., from a search engine or a link). The data is typically aggregated and anonymous and helps us understand how our site is used so we can improve its performance and content. We may use first-party or third-party analytics tools for this purpose. These cookies do not collect information that directly identifies you unless we or the provider combine such data with other information.
- Security: We may use cookies to support security features, to authenticate users, to prevent fraudulent use of the website, and to protect our systems and our users from abuse or unauthorized access.
Specific Cookies We Use
Below we describe the main types of cookies and similar technologies that may be used on washuelifeie.ddd. The exact list may change as we update our site, add new features, or change our service providers. We will endeavor to keep this section updated.
- Consent and preferences: We may store a cookie or use local storage to record that you have accepted our cookie or privacy notice. This helps us avoid showing the notice repeatedly and allows us to respect your choices. The storage may persist for a period of months or until you clear it from your browser. Without this, we would show the notice on every visit.
- Session and security: Session cookies may be used to maintain your session as you move between pages, to keep the site secure, and to support forms and basic functionality. These are typically deleted when you close your browser. We may also use cookies to help prevent cross-site request forgery or other security risks.
- Analytics: If we use analytics services (first-party or third-party), they may set cookies to collect information about your visit, such as pages viewed, time on site, referral source, and device and browser information. This data is used in aggregate to improve our website and is often processed in a way that does not directly identify you. Analytics cookies may be session or persistent.
- Embedded content: Our website may include embedded content, such as maps (e.g., Google Maps) to display our location. When you view such content, the third-party provider (e.g., Google) may set its own cookies. We do not control these cookies. Please see the section on Third-Party Cookies below and the provider's own policy for more information.
Duration of Cookies
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (which may be minutes, days, months, or longer) or until you delete them. The duration for each cookie depends on its purpose. For example, a cookie that remembers that you have accepted our notice may last for several months so that we do not show the notice on every visit. Analytics cookies may last for a similar period. You can delete persistent cookies at any time through your browser settings. Deleting or blocking cookies may affect the functionality of our website.
Your Choices
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings or preferences. You can usually find these options under headings such as "Settings," "Preferences," "Privacy," or "Security." You may be able to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete existing cookies. The method for managing cookies varies by browser; please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of our website; for example, you may need to re-enter information, we may not be able to remember that you have accepted our notice, or certain features may not work as intended.
- Withdrawing consent: If you have previously accepted our cookie or privacy notice and wish to withdraw your consent, you can clear your cookies and local storage for this site (washuelifeie.world). After doing so, the notice may be shown again on your next visit, and you may choose not to accept. Where required by law, we will respect your withdrawal of consent for non-essential cookies.
- Opt-out tools: Some third-party analytics or advertising providers offer opt-out tools or browser add-ons that allow you to opt out of their cookies or tracking. We encourage you to review the policies of any such providers we use and to use their opt-out mechanisms if you wish.
Please note that blocking or disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent the website from functioning correctly.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website may be set by third parties rather than by us. For example, if we embed content from another site (such as a map), the third-party provider may set its own cookies when you view that content. Similarly, if we use third-party analytics or other services, those providers may set cookies. We do not control these third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties to understand what data they collect, how they use it, and what choices they offer. We use Google Maps to display our business location; when you view the map, Google may set cookies and collect data in accordance with Google's privacy policy and cookie information. For more information, please see Google's Privacy Policy and related documentation.
Do Not Track and Similar Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) or similar setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that they do not track the user. There is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Currently, our website does not respond to DNT signals in a specific way; we continue to use cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy. We may update our practices in the future if standards develop.
Updates
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the technologies we use, or legal or regulatory requirements. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. For material changes, we may provide additional notice (e.g., by a prominent notice on our website or by email where we have your contact details and where required by law). We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, you should discontinue use of our website or adjust your cookie settings as described above.
