Wishtide Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 6, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Wishtide uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and platform (the "Service"). It also describes the choices you have about how we use them.
We will only place non-essential cookies (such as analytics or marketing cookies) on your device after you have given your explicit consent through our cookie banner or Cookie Preferences panel. Essential cookies, which are strictly necessary for the Service to function and keep your account secure, are always active and do not require your consent.

1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for various purposes, including to:
- Enable essential features and security measures;
- Remember your preferences and settings;
- Analyse how our Service is used and improve performance;
- Personalise content and provide relevant recommendations;
- Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
Essential cookies are used on the basis that they are necessary to provide you with the Service you request and to keep Wishtide secure. All other cookies (including analytics and marketing cookies) are used on the basis of your consent, which you can give, refuse, or withdraw at any time.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies on Wishtide:
- Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, authentication, and session management. Without these cookies, certain features of our Service may not work.
- Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with Wishtide by collecting aggregated or pseudonymised information on page visits, time spent on site, and user behaviour where possible. Some of this information may still be considered personal data under applicable data protection laws. This helps us improve and optimise our Service.
- Marketing and Personalisation Cookies: These cookies (when used) track your activity to deliver more relevant content and measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. They may be set by us or by third-party marketing partners and are only used where you have given your consent.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies and similar technologies are placed by third-party service providers that we work with. These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, and they may collect and process personal data about you when their technologies are enabled.
For example, when you consent to analytics cookies, we may use Google Analytics to help us understand how Wishtide is used and to improve our Service. You can learn more about how Google processes data here: https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Before any non-essential third-party cookies are set (for example, analytics or marketing cookies), we ask for your consent through our cookie banner or Cookie Preferences panel.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences by:
- Using the Cookie Preferences Panel on our website;
- Adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies;
- Opting out of third-party advertising cookies through industry opt-out tools.
You can withdraw or change your consent for non-essential cookies at any time, using the same tools you used to give consent (for example, the Cookie Preferences panel or your browser settings). Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Please note that disabling certain cookies may limit your ability to use some features of our Service, but essential cookies will continue to operate so that Wishtide can function securely and reliably.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our business practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
