Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how WINGUARDIAN.NET LLC ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and services. It describes what cookies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies for a limited number of purposes. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Others help us understand how our website is used through third-party analytics, remember your preferences, and attribute referrals to our partners. We do not use cookies to target advertising to you.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
• Performance and Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Websites but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable.
• Analytics and Customization Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Websites are being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Websites for you.
• Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use our website. These cookies are set by Google and collect information such as pages viewed, time on site, city-level location derived from your IP address, and granular details about your browser and device. We do not collect precise geolocation. We have disabled advertising personalisation on our Google Analytics property and we have no Google Ads account linked to it, so this data is not used to target advertising to you. Google's privacy information is at policies.google.com/privacy.
• Partner Referral Cookies: Where you reach our website through a partner referral link, we set a first-party cookie that persists for 30 days so that we can attribute any subsequent enquiry to the referring partner. It is used only for referral attribution and commission calculation.

5. Managing Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Essential cookies cannot be switched off, because the website cannot function without them.

If you are visiting from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we will not set any non-essential cookie — including analytics and partner referral cookies — unless and until you give your consent through our cookie banner. You can accept all, reject all, or choose by category, and rejecting is as easy as accepting. You may withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings link on our website, and withdrawal is as easy as giving consent. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew it.

If you are visiting from elsewhere, you can manage your preferences through our cookie settings link or by setting or amending your browser controls. If you reject non-essential cookies you may still use our website, though some functionality may be limited.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
