3. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies to provide you with a functional and secure browsing experience. We distinguish between Essential Cookies and Non-Essential Cookies.

Essential Cookies (Automatically Set)

These cookies are automatically set when you visit our site. You do NOT need to provide consent for these cookies.

They are necessary for:

  • Session Management: Remembering your login status and session (e.g., WordPress login cookies).
  • Site Functionality: Keeping the site operational (e.g., WordPress core cookies for user sessions, form submission).
  • Cookie Preference: A small cookie that records your consent preference (stored by our SureCookie plugin).

Non-Essential Cookies (Disabled by Default)

These cookies are NOT loaded on our website. They are disabled by default and only load if you explicitly give us consent.

As part of our cookie management system (SureCookie), we categorize and manage all detected cookies. The following types of cookies will NOT be set unless you have given explicit permission:

  • Analytics: Tools that track site usage (e.g., Google Analytics).
  • Marketing/Advertising: Cookies used for advertising and retargeting.
  • Social Media: Cookies from social media widgets or tracking pixels.
  • Third-Party Services: Any other scripts or services that are not essential for the site’s core functionality.

If you give us consent, you are explicitly allowing us to set non-essential cookies. You can manage your consent preferences at any time by contacting us.

Social Media Links (External)

Our website contains links to external platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and Reddit. These are external links that open in a new tab. When you click these links, you leave our website and are subject to the privacy policies of those third-party services.

Note: We do not embed social media widgets that track your data. These are simple outbound links only.

Plugins and Page Builder

We use Elementor (a WordPress page builder) and other plugins. These plugins may load resources such as fonts, stylesheets, or scripts. If you visit our site, these third-party services may access your browser and set their own cookies.
