Cookie Policy
Effective Date: October 16, 2026
At affwander.com, we believe in transparent, straightforward communication about how our website works. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar tracking tools are, how we use them on our site, and how you can easily manage or disable them on your device.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your browser, remember your settings, keep pages loading quickly, and understand how visitors interact with different sections.
Cookies can be:
- Session Cookies: Temporary files that expire and delete automatically once you close your web browser.
- Persistent Cookies: Files that remain on your device for a set period or until you manually clear them, allowing the platform to remember your preferences across repeat visits.
- First-Party Cookies: Set directly by affwander.com.
- Third-Party Cookies: Set by external partners, analytics services, or affiliate tracking systems operating on or linked through our website.
2. How We Use Cookies on affwander.com
We keep our tracking footprint minimal. We use cookies and similar web identifiers strictly for functional, analytical, and referral attribution purposes across the following categories:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the technical operation, navigation, and security of affwander.com. They handle basic functions like page delivery, server load balancing, and anti-abuse protection. The site cannot function properly without these files, and they do not store identifiable personal profiles.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect aggregated, non-identifying data about how visitors use our platform. They tell us which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on a guide, and if error messages occur. We use this information solely to fix technical glitches and make our site easier to browse.
- Affiliate & Referral Attribution Cookies
affwander.com operates as an informational directory and affiliate discovery hub. When you click an external link leading to a partner brand, a dedicated tracking cookie or query tag is placed to signal that you visited from our platform. This enables partner networks to accurately verify referral traffic without gathering personal identifying details like your name or email.
- Functional & Preference Cookies
These remember choices you make while browsing (such as language preference or dismissed cookie notices) so you do not have to reset them every time you return.
3. Summary of Cookie Types We Deploy
Necessary / Core Operations: Stored for the duration of your session or up to 30 days to maintain basic security, routing, and user interface stability. Analytics / Site Insights: Stored from 30 days up to 12 months in an aggregated format to measure traffic trends and page speed performance. Affiliate / Partner Attribution: Stored typically between 30 and 90 days (determined by the respective affiliate network) to record referral link clicks.
4. Third-Party Links and External Tracking
Our website features direct referral links to third-party platforms, gaming brands, and service providers. When
you click an external link and navigate away from affwander.com, the destination platform may deploy its own set of cookies, tracking scripts, and analytics tools under its independent data framework. We do not control third-party cookie practices. We advise reviewing the individual cookie and privacy policies of any destination platform you choose to visit.
5. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may periodically revise this policy to reflect updates in our technical setups, operational practices, or relevant regulatory requirements. Any modifications will be posted directly to this page with an updated "Effective Date." We recommend reviewing this document from time to time to stay informed about our tracking standards.
