Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 27, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how WABrowse uses them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.
Cookies can be "session" cookies (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
2. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. They cannot be disabled without affecting core site functionality.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| XSRF-TOKEN | Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection. Ensures form submissions originate from our site. | 2 hours |
| wabrowse_session | Session management. Maintains your browsing session across pages. | 2 hours |
| remember_web_* | Authentication. Keeps you logged in if you selected "Remember me" during login. | 30 days |
3. Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors, where visitors come from, and the pages they visit.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors. Generates a random unique ID to calculate visitor, session, and campaign data. | 2 years |
| _ga_YYS3NCJW01 | Used by Google Analytics 4 to persist session state and track engagement metrics. | 2 years |
| _gid | Distinguishes unique visitors for the current day. Helps aggregate daily visitor data. | 24 hours |
If you choose "Essential Only" in our cookie consent banner, Google Analytics cookies will be disabled and no analytics data will be collected from your visits.
4. Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience on our website.
| Storage Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference ("all" or "essential"). Uses localStorage, not a cookie. Prevents the consent banner from appearing on every visit. | Persistent (until cleared) |
5. Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit WABrowse, you will see a cookie consent banner at the bottom of the page. You can choose to:
- Accept All: Allows all cookies including analytics cookies (Google Analytics)
- Essential Only: Allows only strictly necessary cookies. Analytics cookies will be disabled.
Your choice is stored in your browser's localStorage and will be remembered for future visits. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage or site data for wabrowse.com.
6. How to Control and Delete Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser. Here are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:
Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent certain features of the website from functioning correctly.
7. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services. We use Google Analytics (provided by Google LLC) to analyze website traffic. Google may also set cookies to provide their services. For more information about how Google uses data, please visit Google's Partner Sites Policy.
