Wondrwell (“we,” “our,” “us”) is operated by Aeranda Studios. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on wondrwell.[domain], and what choices you have about them. It works alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers all other personal information we collect.
We’ve written this in plain English. The technical and legal commitments are real; we’ve just tried to make them readable.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and provide information to site owners about how the site is being used.
Cookies do many useful things. They remember your preferences, keep you logged in, measure how many people visit a site, and let publishers like us understand which articles are read most. They can also be used by third parties (like advertising networks) to track activity across multiple sites.
How We Use Cookies
Wondrwell uses cookies in four categories.
Strictly necessary cookies. These are required for the site to function. They cannot be turned off. Examples include cookies that remember your cookie consent choices, that keep the site secure, or that ensure pages load correctly.
Analytics cookies. These help us understand how visitors use the site. We use Google Analytics to measure traffic patterns, popular content, and how readers move through Wondrwell. The information is aggregated and anonymous. We use it to make the site better, not to identify you personally.
Affiliate and referral cookies. Wondrwell includes affiliate links in some articles. When you click an affiliate link, a cookie is set so that the partner can credit Wondrwell with the referral if you make a purchase. These cookies do not store personal information about you, only the fact that you came from Wondrwell.
Preference cookies. These remember choices you make on the site, like whether you’ve dismissed our cookie banner, whether you’ve subscribed to our newsletter, or whether you’ve signed up for a particular post’s notifications. They make the site more pleasant to use across visits.
Specific Services That Set Cookies
The following third-party services may set cookies when you visit Wondrwell. Each operates under its own privacy and cookie policies.
Google Analytics. Measures site traffic and user behavior. Privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out site-wide using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.
Beehiiv. Powers our newsletter signup forms and tracks newsletter engagement. Privacy policy: beehiiv.com/privacy.
Affiliate networks. When you click an affiliate link in one of our posts, partners such as Amazon Associates, Stay22, SafetyWing, GetYourGuide, or similar affiliate networks may set tracking cookies. The exact networks vary by article.
WordPress and our hosting provider. May set technical cookies required for site functionality, security, and caching.
Your Cookie Choices
You have several ways to control cookies.
Browser settings. All modern browsers allow you to block, delete, or control which cookies are stored. The exact steps vary by browser. Search for “cookie settings” plus the name of your browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) for instructions. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site.
Our cookie consent banner. When you first visit Wondrwell, you’ll see a banner allowing you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or choose specific categories. You can change your choices at any time through the cookie preferences link in the footer.
Do Not Track signals. Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” feature. We currently do not respond to Do Not Track signals because there is no industry standard for how to interpret them. We do, however, honor the choices you make in our cookie consent banner.
Opt-out tools for advertising. If you’d like to opt out of interest-based advertising across many sites at once, visit youradchoices.com or aboutads.info.
International Considerations
If you’re in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive require us to obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies. Our cookie consent banner is the mechanism for this consent.
If you’re in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you the right to know what categories of personal information we collect through cookies and to opt out of any sale of that information. We do not sell personal information collected through cookies.
Everyone, everywhere: you can clear cookies and reset your preferences at any time through your browser settings.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as the tools we use change or as the law evolves. When we make material changes, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify readers through our cookie banner.
