Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. Cookies can be categorized into different types based on their function and persistence:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session during your visit.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period, even after you close your browser.
• Essential Cookies: Also called "strictly necessary" cookies, these are required for basic website functionality and security.
• Analytical Cookies: These track how users interact with a website to help improve site performance and user experience.
• Advertising Cookies: These are used to track user behavior for targeted advertising purposes.

Cookies Used on Womaj

Essential Cookies Only

Womaj uses only essential cookies that are necessary for the basic functionality and security of our website. We do NOT use analytical cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party tracking cookies.

Types of Essential Cookies We Use

• Session Management Cookies: These cookies maintain your session on the website and ensure proper functionality as you navigate between pages. They are deleted when you close your browser.
• Security Cookies: These are used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity and to protect the security of our website and users.
• User Preference Cookies: These cookies remember your choices on our website, such as your cookie consent preferences and any other settings you select.
• Cookie Consent Cookie: We use a cookie to remember whether you have accepted or declined our cookie banner, so we do not show it repeatedly during your visit.

Compliance with Legislation

This Cookie Policy is designed to comply with:

• The UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended
• The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the EU
• The EU ePrivacy Directive
• The UK Data Protection Act 2018

Our use of only essential cookies means that we do not need to obtain granular consent for each type of cookie. However, we provide transparent information about our cookie usage and allow you to decline non-essential cookies (although we only use essential cookies anyway).

Consent Mode v2

We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which is a framework that helps websites manage user consent for cookies and data collection in compliance with privacy regulations. Our implementation ensures that:

• Users are clearly informed about our cookie usage
• Users can accept or decline cookies through our cookie banner
• User choices are respected and remembered
• Only essential cookies are used on our website

Cookie Banner and User Choice

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner at the bottom of the page. This banner provides:

• Accept Button: Accept the use of essential cookies and remember your choice
• Decline Button: Decline the cookie banner (note: essential cookies may still be necessary for basic site functionality)
• Learn More Link: Direct you to this cookie policy for detailed information

Your choice is remembered in a cookie so that the banner will not appear repeatedly during your visit or on subsequent visits. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies or contacting us directly.

No Analytical or Advertising Cookies

Womaj does not use:

• Google Analytics or similar web analytics tools
• Facebook Pixel or other social media tracking pixels
• Advertising cookies or retargeting pixels
• Third-party marketing cookies
• Any cookies that identify you for targeted advertising purposes

This means that your browsing behavior on our website is not tracked or shared with external advertising networks, marketing platforms, or data brokers.
