In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies including local storage, session storage, and pixel tags (also known as web beacons). References to "cookies" in this policy include these similar technologies unless otherwise specified.

4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control the dissemination of these cookies. Third-party providers have their own privacy policies governing how they use data collected through their cookies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through our website.
Third-party cookies are only activated when you have provided consent for the relevant cookie category. We maintain data processing agreements with third-party providers that require them to handle data in compliance with applicable privacy laws.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing cookies:
5.1 Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears offering three choices:
- Accept All: Enables all cookie categories including analytics and marketing
- Reject: Enables only strictly necessary cookies; analytics and marketing cookies are disabled
- Cookie Settings: Opens a detailed panel where you can toggle individual cookie categories on or off
5.2 Changing Preferences Later
You may change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting our website, which will display the consent banner again. Alternatively, contact us at assist@wristwipeau.world and we will provide instructions for resetting your preferences.
5.3 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View cookies stored on your device and delete them individually or collectively
- Block third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies
- Block all cookies from specific websites or all websites entirely
- Configure your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our website and your ability to use certain features. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through our website if you wish to continue using the site.
6. Cookie Retention Periods
Different cookies have different lifespans:
- Session cookies: Deleted automatically when you close your browser
- Consent preference cookies: Retained for 12 months, after which consent is re-requested
- Analytics cookies: Retained for up to 26 months from the date of collection

7. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Because there is no uniform standard for interpreting DNT signals, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser settings. Instead, we provide the cookie consent mechanism described in this policy, which gives you direct control over non-essential tracking.
8. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, technology developments, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and may display a notice on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
