Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy describes how Wise Years Pro ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, local storage, and similar browser technologies when you visit our website at wiselyearspro.life. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more broadly. We are committed to transparency about the technologies we use and to giving you meaningful choices about non-essential cookies.

Unlike many commercial websites, wiselyearspro.life does not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or third-party analytics platforms. Our use of cookies and local storage is minimal and limited to essential site functionality and optional Google Maps embedding on our contact page.

2. What are cookies and local storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember preferences, and provide information to site owners. Local storage is a similar browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device with greater capacity and persistence than traditional cookies.

Cookies and local storage can be "first-party" (set by wiselyearspro.life directly) or "third-party" (set by external services embedded in our pages, such as Google Maps). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" (remaining until they expire or you delete them).

3. How we use cookies and local storage

3.1 Essential storage (always active)

We use browser local storage to record your cookie consent preference. When you click "Accept all" or "Essential only" on our cookie banner, your choice is saved in local storage under the key wyp_cookie_consent so that the banner does not reappear on every visit. This storage is necessary to honour your stated preference and does not track your behaviour across other websites.

Our web server may also set strictly necessary session cookies required for security and basic site delivery. These cookies do not require consent under applicable guidance because the website cannot function properly without them.

3.2 Functional cookies (requires consent)

With your consent — by clicking "Accept all" on our cookie banner or "Load map" on our contact page — we embed a Google Maps iframe showing the location of our learning studio at the National Design Centre. Google may set its own cookies and collect technical data when you interact with the map. We do not control Google's data practices; please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for details.

If you select "Essential only", the map iframe is not loaded automatically. You will see a placeholder with a manual "Load map" button, which sets functional consent when clicked. A text fallback with a direct link to Google Maps is always available without accepting functional cookies.

4. What we do not use

To be explicit, wiselyearspro.life does not deploy:

• Advertising or retargeting cookies;
• Social media sharing or tracking pixels (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.);
• Third-party analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Hotjar, etc.);
• A/B testing or personalisation cookies;
• Cross-site tracking technologies of any kind.

Google Ads may independently track clicks on advertisements that lead to our website; that tracking occurs within Google's advertising platform and is not initiated by code on our site.

5. Cookie and storage summary

Name / Type	Purpose	Duration	Category
wyp_cookie_consent (local storage)	Stores your cookie preference (essential only or accept all)	Until cleared by you	Essential
Server session cookies	Basic security and page delivery	Session	Essential
Google Maps cookies	Map display and Google service functionality	Varies (set by Google)	Functional (consent required)

6. Managing your preferences

You can manage cookies and local storage in several ways:

• Cookie banner: Use the buttons on our cookie banner when you first visit wiselyearspro.life to accept all cookies or limit to essential only.
• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies and clear local storage through their settings or preferences menus. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions.
• Clear local storage: To reset your cookie preference and see the banner again, clear site data for wiselyearspro.life in your browser settings.

Please note that blocking essential storage may cause the cookie banner to reappear on every visit. Blocking functional cookies prevents Google Maps from loading on our contact page, though the text fallback and external map link remain available.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if we change the technologies used on wiselyearspro.life or if legal requirements evolve. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
