Cookie Policy

Last updated: 25 September 2026
\n
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used by WiseHomeGuides. Our audience measurement is 100% cookieless: we do not set any tracking, advertising or profiling cookies on your device.
\n\n
1. Strictly necessary cookies
\n
The site may set two technically necessary cookies, only when required for its operation:
\n
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| pll_language | Remembers your language preference (Polylang) | 12 months |
| whg_a11y_prefs | Remembers your accessibility preferences | 13 months |
\n\n
2. Audience measurement (Matomo) — no cookies
\n
We measure our audience with Matomo, hosted on our own servers, configured with disableCookies(): no measurement cookies (_pk_id, _pk_ses) are set. Only anonymized and pseudonymized statistics are collected, GDPR compliant. Google Analytics is not used.
\n\n
3. Third-party cookies (Amazon)
\n
When you click an Amazon affiliate link, Amazon may set a cookie on its own domain (e.g. amazon.co.uk) to attribute a possible commission. This cookie (duration: 24 hours) is managed exclusively by Amazon and is not under our control.
\n
The Trustpilot review widget embedded on some pages is provided by Trustpilot A/S (Denmark). It is loaded only after your action (clicking “Show Trustpilot reviews”); it may then set its own display cookies. It is subject to Trustpilot’s privacy policy.
\n\n
4. Managing cookies
\n
Because our audience measurement is cookieless, no advertising consent banner is required. You can configure your browser at any time to block or delete technical cookies.
