What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website or use an application. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their sites are used.
This Cookie Policy explains how Waonder ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (waonder.com) and mobile application.

How Long Do Cookies Last?

Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Website Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Check your browser's help documentation for instructions.
- Browser Extensions: You can install browser extensions that block tracking cookies and scripts.
Mobile App
To manage data collection in our mobile app:

- Clear app data through your device settings
Note: Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our services. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are necessary for the website and app to work.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for responding to DNT signals. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, but you can use the cookie management options described above to control tracking.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post any changes on this page and update the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
