1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners about how visitors interact with their pages. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by external services embedded on the page (third-party cookies).
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. These serve comparable functions and are covered by this policy where they store or access information on your device. Throughout this document, the term "cookies" refers to cookies and these related technologies unless otherwise specified.
2. How We Use Cookies
Wristback uses cookies to ensure our website operates correctly, to remember your cookie consent choices, and — with your permission — to understand how visitors use our educational content. We are committed to transparency about our cookie practices and to giving you meaningful control over non-essential cookies.
We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information such as health records, financial account details, or government identification numbers. Cookie data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection legislation including the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure access to forms, and remembering your cookie consent decision. Without these cookies, services you request cannot be provided. They do not store personally identifiable information and are not used for tracking across other websites.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously or in aggregated form. This includes data such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether error messages are encountered. We use these insights to improve our educational content and site structure. Analytics cookies are only activated when you click "Accept All" or enable the Analytics toggle in Cookie Settings.
3.3 Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to deliver content that is more relevant to your interests and to measure the effectiveness of our informational campaigns. These cookies may track your visit across different websites to build a profile of your interests. Marketing cookies are only activated when you explicitly consent through "Accept All" or the Marketing toggle in Cookie Settings. We do not use marketing cookies for aggressive retargeting or to promote products unrelated to meal planning education.

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner appears at the bottom of the screen. You can choose "Accept All" to enable all cookie categories, "Reject" to allow only strictly necessary cookies, or "Cookie Settings" to customize your preferences by toggling Analytics and Marketing categories individually.
6.2 Changing Preferences Later
To update your cookie preferences after your initial choice, clear your browser's local storage for wristback.world and revisit the website. The cookie banner will reappear, allowing you to make a new selection. Alternatively, contact us at hello@wristback.world and we will provide instructions for resetting your preferences.
6.3 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close the browser. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may impair website functionality, including form submission and navigation.
Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:

7. Local Storage and Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to save your cookie consent preferences. Local storage data persists on your device until you clear it manually or until the stored consent record expires after twelve months. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not automatically transmitted to our servers with each page request. It is read by our JavaScript code solely to determine whether to display the cookie banner and which analytics or marketing scripts to load.
We do not use local storage to track your behavior across sessions beyond storing your explicit consent choices. No advertising identifiers or cross-site tracking data is stored in local storage on our website.
8. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the cookies we use, add new third-party services, or when legal requirements evolve. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent revision was published. Material changes will be communicated through a notice on our website. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed about our cookie practices.
