This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how this website (williamwallace.co) uses them, and how you can control them.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Cookies are not harmful and do not contain personal information like your name or payment details.
Cookies This Website Uses
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core features like page navigation, form submission, and security. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the website would not work without them.
wordpress_sec / wordpress_logged_in — used to manage login sessions for site administrators. Not set for regular visitors. Expires when the browser session ends.
wp_nonce — a security token used to protect form submissions from abuse. Set when you load a page with a form. Expires when the browser session ends.
Functional Cookies
wordpress_test_cookie — used by WordPress to check whether your browser accepts cookies. Expires when the browser session ends.
Analytics Cookies
If analytics are enabled on this site, anonymised cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the website — for example, which pages are visited most often. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. If analytics cookies are in use, they will be listed here with their names and expiry periods.
At the time of writing, this website does not use Google Analytics or any third-party tracking cookies.
Third-Party Cookies
This website does not embed third-party advertising or social media tracking pixels. If embedded content from external services (such as YouTube videos or social media posts) is added to blog posts in future, those services may set their own cookies. These are governed by the respective third party's cookie policy, not this one.
How to Manage Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically choose to block all cookies, accept all cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set so you can decide whether to accept it.
Here are links to cookie management instructions for the most common browsers:
Google Chrome · Mozilla Firefox · Safari · Microsoft Edge
Please note that blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of this website from functioning correctly, including the contact form.
Changes to This Policy
If I add new cookies or change how existing ones are used, this policy will be updated with a new "last updated" date.
