Cookie Policy

Last Updated: January 4, 2025

Our Approach to Cookies

Unlike most websites, Wellnest uses minimal cookies and absolutely no tracking or advertising cookies. We only use what's essential for the platform to function.

What Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies Only

We use minimal session cookies to:

Keep you logged in (if using the platform)
Remember your preferences (like theme settings)
Ensure security and prevent abuse

These cookies are necessary for the platform to work and cannot be disabled.

What We Don't Use

❌ No tracking cookies: We don't track your browsing behavior across the web
❌ No advertising cookies: We don't show ads or use cookies for marketing
❌ No analytics cookies: We don't use Google Analytics or similar tools
❌ No social media cookies: No Facebook pixels, Twitter tracking, etc.
❌ No third-party cookies: We don't allow other companies to set cookies

Local Storage

We may use browser local storage to:

Cache stories for offline reading
Save draft stories before submission
Remember your UI preferences

This data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers unless you explicitly submit it (like posting a story).

Managing Cookies

Since we only use essential cookies, there's no cookie banner or opt-in required. If you want to clear cookies:

Use your browser's settings to clear cookies and site data
Use private/incognito mode for a cookie-free session
Disable cookies entirely (though this may break functionality)

Why We're Different

Most websites use dozens of cookies to track you, build profiles, and serve ads. We don't. Our commitment to privacy means:

No cookie banners cluttering your experience
No tracking across the web
No selling your data to advertisers
Just the essentials to make the platform work

Changes to This Policy

If we ever need to change our cookie usage, we'll update this page and notify users of significant changes.
