Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 10 June 2025
This policy explains how Anchorwise uses cookies on our website at anchorwise.world, what types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your preferences. We have tried to keep this explanation straightforward and free of unnecessary technical language.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your browser when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — for example, whether you have already accepted the cookie notice, or how you navigated around the site.
Cookies are widely used across the web. Some are essential for a site to work; others are optional and used for purposes like understanding how visitors use the site. You can choose to disable most optional cookies without affecting your ability to use this website.
2. The Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Always ActiveThese cookies are required for the website to function. They are set when you visit the site and cannot be disabled. They include your cookie consent preference (stored in localStorage rather than a server cookie) and any session security measures. Without these, parts of the site may not work correctly.
Analytics Cookies
OptionalThese cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay, and similar aggregate data. This information helps us improve the site. The data collected is not linked to any individual person. We use Google Analytics for this purpose if you consent.
Marketing Cookies
OptionalMarketing cookies may be used by third-party advertising platforms to show relevant advertisements. At present, Anchorwise does not run advertising campaigns; however, this category is included in case such services are added in future. These cookies will only be set with your explicit consent.
Preference Cookies
OptionalPreference cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made, such as your preferred language or region. These improve convenience on repeat visits. They do not collect personally identifiable information.
3. Third-Party Cookies
When analytics or marketing cookies are accepted, the following third-party services may set cookies:
- Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited) — for website usage statistics. Google's privacy policy applies.
- Advertising networks — if marketing cookies are enabled in future, third-party ad services may be used. These will be listed in an update to this policy.
We do not control the cookies set by third parties. Declining these categories prevents third-party cookies from being set.
4. How Long Do Cookies Last?
- Session cookies — these exist only for the duration of your browser session and are deleted when you close the browser.
- Persistent cookies — these remain on your device for a set period. Analytics cookies from Google Analytics typically expire after 14 months. Your cookie consent preference (stored in localStorage) is retained until you clear your browser data or change your preferences here.
