1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies are, how Wahaaz ("Wahaaz," "we," "us," or "our") and our third-party partners use them on wahaaz.online (the "Site"), and how you can control them.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By continuing to use the Site (and where applicable, by clicking "Accept" on our cookie banner), you consent to the use of cookies as described below, unless you disable them as explained in Section 6.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone, or other device when you visit a website. They allow the site (or a third party) to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences or browsing actions.
Similar technologies covered by this policy include:
- Pixels / web beacons — tiny transparent images used to track page views or email opens
- Local storage — data stored in your browser (not a cookie file, but works similarly)
- Tracking links — special URL parameters used by affiliate networks to attribute a sale
3. Why Wahaaz Uses Cookies
Wahaaz does not have user accounts or logins, so we do not use cookies to store personal profiles or login sessions. Instead, cookies on our Site are used for:
| Purpose | Description |
|---|---|
| Affiliate Tracking | To credit Wahaaz with a referral/commission when you click a link to Amazon, eBay, Etsy, AliExpress, or TikTok Shop and make a qualifying purchase |
| Analytics | To understand how visitors use the Site (pages viewed, time on site, popular content) so we can improve it |
| Preferences | To remember your cookie consent choice so we don't ask again on every visit |
| Advertising (if applicable) | If Wahaaz displays third-party ads (e.g., Google AdSense), cookies may be used to show relevant ads and measure ad performance |
4. Categories of Cookies Used on Wahaaz
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are essential for the Site to function properly (e.g., remembering your cookie consent preference). They cannot be switched off in our systems and do not require consent under most privacy laws.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie consent preference | Remembers whether you accepted/rejected non-essential cookies | Typically 6–12 months |
4.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies
These help us understand visitor behavior in aggregate, so we can improve content and site performance.
| Provider | Purpose | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|
Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat, etc.) | Measures traffic, page views, session duration, bounce rate | Up to 2 years (varies by cookie) |
4.3 Affiliate Tracking Cookies
Set by our affiliate partners when you click through to a retailer, so that a resulting purchase can be attributed to Wahaaz.
| Retailer / Network | Purpose | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Associates | Tracks qualifying purchases after clicking an Amazon link | ~24 hours (session-based; varies by product) |
| eBay Partner Network | Tracks qualifying purchases after clicking an eBay link | Typically up to 24 hours–30 days (network-dependent) |
| Etsy Affiliate Network (e.g., Awin/CJ) | Tracks qualifying purchases after clicking an Etsy link | Typically 30 days (network-dependent) |
| AliExpress Affiliate Program | Tracks qualifying purchases after clicking an AliExpress link | Typically up to 30 days |
| TikTok Shop Affiliate/Creator Program | Tracks qualifying purchases after clicking a TikTok Shop link | Varies by TikTok Shop program terms |
(Exact cookie durations are set and controlled by each retailer/affiliate network, not by Wahaaz, and may change without notice.)
4.4 Advertising Cookies (If Applicable)
If Wahaaz enables third-party advertising (e.g., Google AdSense) in the future, those partners may set cookies to serve relevant ads and measure campaign performance. These will only be activated with your consent where legally required.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on Wahaaz are placed by third parties, not by us directly. We do not control these cookies, and their use is governed by the third party's own privacy/cookie policy:
- Amazon — https://www.amazon.com/privacy
- eBay — https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/member-behaviour-policies/user-privacy-notice-privacy-policy
- Etsy — https://www.etsy.com/legal/privacy
- AliExpress — https://www.aliexpress.com/p/privacy-policy/index.html
- TikTok — https://www.tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy
- Google (Analytics/Ads) — https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies
6. Your Cookie Choices
6.1 Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit wahaaz.online, you will see a cookie consent banner allowing you to:
- Accept All — allow all cookies described above
- Reject Non-Essential — allow only strictly necessary cookies
- Manage Preferences — choose which categories (analytics, advertising, affiliate tracking) to allow
Where required by law (e.g., for EU/UK/EEA visitors under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive), non-essential cookies will not be set until you provide consent. You can change your choice at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the Site footer.
6.2 Browser Controls
You can also manage or delete cookies directly through your browser settings:
- 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
Blocking all cookies may affect affiliate link tracking and some site functionality, but you will still be able to browse and read content on Wahaaz even with cookies disabled.
6.3 Opting Out of Interest-Based Advertising
If advertising cookies are used, you can also opt out of interest-based ads industry-wide via:
- Digital Advertising Alliance: https://optout.aboutads.info
- Your Online Choices (EU): https://www.youronlinechoices.com
- Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com
7. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. Because there is currently no industry-standard way to respond to DNT signals, Wahaaz does not currently respond differently to browsers with DNT enabled. You can still manage cookies via the methods in Section 6.
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal/regulatory reasons. The updated version will be posted here with a revised "Effective Date." We encourage you to review this page occasionally.
