WYLD CHYLD HQ – COOKIE POLICY

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

1. INTRODUCTION

This Cookie Policy explains how Wyld Chyld HQ (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website.
We keep this policy straightforward because our approach is simple:

We only use cookies that are required for the website to function.
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, behavioral analytics cookies, or any kind of creepy surveillance systems.

If you are looking for a website that secretly mines your data, tracks you across the internet, or sells your info to ad networks — this is not that place.

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device to keep the website functioning correctly.
Some cookies last only while your browser is open (session cookies), and others may last longer (persistent cookies).

Cookies are standard and used by almost all modern websites.

3. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

Wyld Chyld HQ uses only essential and functional cookies, meaning the site cannot operate properly without them.

We break them down below:

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for:

• Shopping cart functionality

• Checkout processing

• Login sessions

• Keeping your session active

• Remembering items in your cart as you navigate

• Preventing CSRF (security attack prevention)

• Ensuring the website loads correctly

Without these cookies, WooCommerce and WordPress cannot function.

These cookies do NOT track you outside our website.

Examples include:

• woocommerce_cart_hash

• woocommerce_items_in_cart

• wp_woocommerce_session_*

• WordPress login/session cookies

• Security tokens used by the site

3.2 Functional Cookies

These help improve user experience by:

• Remembering that you are logged in

• Keeping your cart saved temporarily

• Saving site preferences (if applicable)

These cookies are harmless and exist only to make the site usable.

3.3 Performance / Analytics Cookies (Minimal or None)

At this time, Wyld Chyld HQ:

• Does not use Google Analytics

• Does not use Meta Pixel

• Does not run external analytics trackers

• Does not run performance monitoring scripts that collect personal data

If we ever enable basic analytics to understand website traffic, this policy will be updated—but as of now, we avoid analytics tracking entirely.

3.4 Advertising / Marketing Cookies

We do not use:

• Targeted advertising cookies

• Retargeting pixels

• Affiliate tracking cookies

• Cross-site identifiers

• Third-party ad networks

Wyld Chyld HQ is an ad-free zone.
We want to sell you cool handmade stuff — not your attention.

4. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

Third parties may set cookies indirectly when interacting with:

• Stripe

• PayPal

• Embedded content (rare, but possible)

• Hosting infrastructure

• CDN caching (Cloudflare, depending on provider)

These cookies are not controlled by us, and their behavior is governed by the third-party provider’s own cookie policy.

We do not directly install, manage, or manipulate third-party tracking systems.

5. HOW TO CONTROL COOKIES

You have the right to control or delete cookies at any time.

You can:

• Clear cookies from your browser

• Disable cookies in browser settings

• Use private/incognito mode

• Block third-party cookies

However, please note:

🚫 If you disable strictly necessary cookies, the website will not function correctly.
You will not be able to:

• Use the cart

• Checkout

• Log in

• Save preferences

• Access your account

Because WooCommerce requires certain cookies to operate.

6. DO WE USE “COOKIE BANNERS”?

Because Wyld Chyld HQ does not use tracking or advertising cookies, and because we only use strictly necessary cookies for cart and login functions, cookie banners are not legally required in many jurisdictions, including most of the U.S.

However, users outside the U.S. may see a standard cookie notice based on their local laws.

If regulations change, we will implement a cookie consent banner as required.

7. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time.
If we add any new cookie types (such as analytics), we will update this page and adjust our disclosures accordingly.

The “Last Updated” date will reflect the most recent revision.
