These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly.
They may support functions such as:
- page navigation;

- security;
- form submissions;

Because these cookies are necessary for core website functions, they may operate without optional consent where permitted by applicable law.

These tools may collect information such as:

- approximate location;
- browser and device type;

This information helps us understand which tools and content are useful and where the website can be improved.
WisdomSpoon may use services provided by Google or other analytics providers for this purpose.
Advertising Cookies
WisdomSpoon may display advertising through services such as Google AdSense or other advertising providers.
Advertising cookies may be used to:
- display advertisements;
- measure ad performance;
- limit repeated advertising;
- understand ad interactions;
- provide personalised advertising where permitted.
Advertising providers may use cookies and similar technologies according to their own privacy policies.
Where required by applicable law, personalised advertising or other non-essential advertising technologies will depend on the user’s consent choices.

- identify suspicious traffic;
- prevent spam;

These may include providers involved in:
- analytics;
- advertising;
- security;
- website hosting;
- embedded content;
- social media;
- video services;
- forms or email services.
Third-party services control their own cookies and may process information according to their own privacy policies.
WisdomSpoon does not control how third-party providers independently use information collected through their technologies.
5. Google Services
WisdomSpoon may use Google services including:
- Google Analytics;
- Google AdSense;
- Google Site Kit;
- YouTube services or APIs.
Google may use cookies or other technologies in connection with these services.

6. YouTube Content and Services
WisdomSpoon uses YouTube-related services to provide creator analytics and channel information.
Where YouTube videos, thumbnails, embeds or other YouTube services are displayed, Google or YouTube may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own policies.
The public WisdomSpoon YouTube Channel Analyzer itself is designed to retrieve public data through the YouTube Data API and does not require users to sign in to a YouTube account.
7. WordPress Cookies
WisdomSpoon is built using WordPress.
WordPress and installed plugins may use cookies for functions such as:
- administration;
- login sessions;
- form functionality;
- security;
- preferences;
- site performance.
Visitors who are not logged in may encounter fewer WordPress cookies than website administrators or registered users.
8. Cookie Consent
Where required, WisdomSpoon may display a cookie consent banner or consent-management tool.
This may allow you to:
- accept optional cookies;
- reject non-essential cookies;
- customise your preferences;
- change your choices later.
Essential cookies may continue to operate because they are required for the basic functioning and security of the website.
9. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.
You may be able to:
- block all cookies;
- delete existing cookies;
- block third-party cookies;
- receive warnings before cookies are stored;
- manage cookies for specific websites.
The exact controls depend on your browser.
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect some WisdomSpoon features or website functionality.
10. Advertising Choices
If WisdomSpoon displays personalised advertising, users may also have options provided by advertising platforms to manage ad personalisation.
These controls may operate separately from WisdomSpoon’s own cookie settings.
Where applicable, users may also be offered non-personalised advertising depending on consent status, location and advertising-provider rules.
11. Similar Technologies
In addition to traditional cookies, WisdomSpoon or its service providers may use similar technologies such as:
- local storage;
- pixels;
- tags;
- scripts;
- identifiers;
- server-side logging.
These technologies may perform functions similar to cookies, including analytics, security and advertising measurement.
References to “cookies” in this policy may therefore also include similar technologies where appropriate.
12. How Long Cookies Remain
Cookies may be either:
Session cookies
These normally expire when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies
These remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
The duration of individual cookies depends on their purpose and the service that sets them.
13. Changes to This Cookie Policy
WisdomSpoon may update this Cookie Policy as the website, advertising arrangements, analytics tools or third-party services change.
The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when material changes are made.
