This Cookie Policy explains how Wootabase uses cookies and similar technologies on wootabase.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, measure usage and — with your consent — deliver advertising.

Your choices

When you first visit Wootabase you are shown a consent banner. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the Site cannot work without them. Analytics and advertising cookies are only set after you accept them (and, in the UK/EEA, are denied by default until you consent). You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer, or by clearing cookies in your browser.
