Cookie Policy
Understanding how welyncarosa uses tracking technologies on welyncarosa.com
Look, we get it. Cookie policies can feel like dense legal documents written by robots. But here's the thing – we're a family business, and we'd rather talk to you like actual people. This page explains what cookies are, how we use them on our site, and what you can do about them. No jargon marathons, just straightforward answers.

What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are tiny text files that websites store on your device. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit. When you come back, the site reads those notes and can recall your preferences or what you were doing last time.
Some cookies are essential – without them, basic features like staying logged in wouldn't work. Others help us understand how people use our site so we can make it better. And yes, some are about marketing, though we keep that minimal because we're not about bombarding people with ads.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning. They handle things like security, session management, and making sure forms actually submit. You can't turn these off because, well, the site wouldn't work without them. They're the non-negotiables.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices – like preferred language settings or whether you've dismissed certain notifications. They make your experience smoother by not asking you the same questions every time you visit.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to see how people navigate our site. Which pages get the most traffic? Where do people spend time? It's anonymous data that helps us figure out what's working and what needs improvement. Nothing creepy, just numbers.
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing to show relevant ads. If you've been looking at financial planning content, you might see related offers elsewhere online. We don't go overboard with this – it's more about relevance than volume.
Take Control in Your Browser
You don't have to accept all cookies just because a website asks. Every browser lets you manage cookie settings. The exact steps vary, but here's the general idea for popular browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Just know that blocking all cookies might break some site features. It's about finding the balance that works for you.
How Long Do Cookies Stick Around?
Some cookies disappear when you close your browser – those are session cookies. Others hang around for weeks, months, or even years to remember long-term preferences. We regularly review and clear out old cookies that aren't serving a purpose anymore. The specific duration depends on the cookie type and what it's doing.
Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes cookies come from other companies whose services we use. For example, if we embed a video player or use analytics tools, those providers might set their own cookies. We choose our third-party partners carefully, but their cookies follow their policies, not ours.
The good news? Your browser settings control these just like our first-party cookies. If you want to block third-party cookies specifically, most browsers have that option tucked away in their privacy settings.
Changes to This Policy
Technology changes. Regulations change. And sometimes we just realize there's a better way to explain things. We'll update this policy when needed and post the new version right here. Big changes? We'll make sure you know about them.
