Effective date: 3.3.2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Wefi Leaderhood (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website www.wefileaderhood.com (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

We use only essential cookies by default. All non-essential cookies (for example, analytics) are off unless you opt in via our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our Site (where available).

1) What Are Cookies?

  • Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) via your browser.
  • They allow websites to:
    • Function properly and securely
    • Remember user preferences (e.g., language or login state)
    • Understand how visitors interact with the site

We may also use similar technologies, including:

  • Local storage/session storage: Data stored by your browser for a website.
  • Pixels / tags / beacons: Small pieces of code that can track usage or conversions.
  • SDKs (in mobile contexts): Tools embedded in apps to collect usage data.

For simplicity, we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this Policy.

2) How We Classify Cookies

We group cookies into the following categories:

a) Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are required for the core functioning of the Site and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as:

  • Logging in or authenticating
  • Filling in forms
  • Maintaining security (e.g., CSRF protection, DDoS protection)
  • Managing cookie consent choices
  • Ensuring performance and load balancing

These cookies do not require consent under most data protection laws but are still described here for transparency.

b) Preferences (Optional)

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make, such as:

  • Language preferences
  • Region or time zone
  • Display options (e.g., dark/light mode)

They are not essential for basic use but improve your experience. These cookies are only used if you allow them (where required by law).

c) Analytics (Optional)

These cookies help us understand:

  • How many visitors our Site receives
  • Which pages are visited
  • How long users stay on each page
  • Navigation patterns and technical performance

We use this information to:

  • Improve the usability of the Site
  • Optimize our training content and user journeys
  • Identify and fix technical issues

Where feasible, we configure analytics with privacy-friendly settings (e.g., IP anonymization, no cross-site tracking).

d) Marketing / Advertising Cookies

By default, we do not deploy third‑party advertising cookies or pixels for cross-site behavioral targeting on www.wefileaderhood.com.

If we introduce such technologies in the future, we will:

  • Update this Cookie Policy
  • Obtain your explicit consent where required (e.g., via the cookie banner)

3) Cookies We Use (Examples)

The specific cookies we use may change over time as we refine our platform and providers. The types of cookies we may use include:

a) Essential Cookies

These support core functionality and security, for example:

  • Consent management cookie (e.g., wefi_cookie_consent):

    • Purpose: Stores your cookie choices (e.g., which categories you accepted or rejected).
    • Data: A simple flag or set of flags (no direct personal content).
    • Duration: Up to 12 months.
    • Provider: Wefi Leaderhood or our consent tool provider.

  • Session cookie (e.g., sessionid, csrftoken or similar):

    • Purpose: Maintains your login session, ensures form security (CSRF protection), and supports authenticated areas of the training platform.
    • Duration: Session-only or up to 24 hours.
    • Provider: Wefi Leaderhood / hosting platform.

  • Security / load balancer cookie (e.g., a cookie set by CDN or firewall):

    • Purpose: Helps ensure availability, stability, and protection against attacks.
    • Duration: Typically short-lived (e.g., minutes or hours).
    • Provider: Hosting/CDN provider.

b) Preferences Cookies (Optional)

If enabled, examples include:

  • Language preference cookie (e.g., wefi_lang):

    • Purpose: Remembers your preferred language or locale on the Site.
    • Duration: Up to 12 months.
    • Provider: Wefi Leaderhood.

  • Display / theme cookie (e.g., wefi_theme):

    • Purpose: Stores choices such as light/dark mode or other display settings.
    • Duration: Up to 12 months.
    • Provider: Wefi Leaderhood.

c) Analytics Cookies (Optional)

If you opt in to analytics, we may use:

  • First-party analytics cookies (e.g., Matomo or Google Analytics 4 configured with IP anonymization):
    • Purpose: Measure traffic, understand site usage, track which content and training-related pages are used the most.
    • Data: Pseudonymous identifiers, aggregated metrics (e.g., page views), approximate location (e.g., country), device/browser information.
    • Duration: Typically ranges from session-only up to around 13 months depending on the tool and settings.
    • Provider: Wefi Leaderhood / analytics provider.

We configure analytics, where feasible, to:

  • Anonymize IP addresses
  • Avoid or minimize cross-site tracking
  • Disable advertising features and data sharing with other Google services (if GA is used), where possible and appropriate

4) What We Do Not Use (By Default)

Unless explicitly stated and consented to, we do not use:

  • Third-party advertising cookies or remarketing pixels for cross-site behavioral advertising
  • Persistent social media tracking pixels (e.g., for building cross-platform advertising profiles)

If we decide to introduce these:

  • We will update this Policy
  • We will request explicit consent first (via the cookie banner)

5) Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Under the EU/EEA and similar jurisdictions:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: Used based on our legitimate interest in operating a secure, functional website and delivering services you request.
  • Preferences and analytics cookies: Used based on your consent, obtained via our cookie banner or settings. You can withdraw this consent at any time.

For more details on how we process personal data associated with cookies, please see our Privacy Policy.

6) Your Choices and Controls

You have several options for managing cookies and similar technologies:

a) Cookie Banner and Settings

On your first visit (and periodically thereafter), you may see a cookie banner that allows you to:

  • Accept all non-essential cookies
  • Reject all non-essential cookies
  • Customize which categories are allowed

You can change your choices at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in our footer (where implemented).

b) Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to:

  • Block or delete cookies from specific sites
  • Block all cookies
  • Receive alerts when a site wants to set a cookie

Refer to your browser’s help documentation for instructions (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

Note: Blocking essential cookies may impact core functionality (such as logging in or accessing your training dashboard).

c) Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. There is no single widely adopted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Even so, we:

  • Strive to minimize cross-site tracking
  • Rely on explicit cookie consent mechanisms where required

Your preferences set via our cookie banner/settings will generally take precedence over browser DNT, as they are more granular and specific.

7) Data Collected via Cookies

Cookies may collect or be associated with:

  • Pseudonymous identifiers (e.g., random IDs)
  • Device and browser information (type, version)
  • Approximate location (e.g. country/city, derived from IP)
  • Pages visited and actions taken on the Site
  • Session duration and timestamps

We strive to minimize personal data in cookies and use aggregated or pseudonymized analytics where possible. For more information on how we handle personal data, please consult our Privacy Policy.

8) International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers (e.g., analytics or hosting providers) may process cookie-related data outside the EEA/UK.

Where this occurs and where required by law, we implement appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) and assess data protection standards in the destination country, as described in our Privacy Policy.

9) Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect:

  • Changes to the cookies or technologies we use
  • Changes to legal or regulatory requirements
  • Improvements to our transparency practices

The latest version will always be available on this page with the current Effective Date. In case of material changes (for example, introduction of new categories of cookies), we may also:

  • Update our cookie banner
  • Provide an on-site notice
  • Request your renewed consent, where required
