Cookie Policy
How we use cookies and similar technologies on our website.
1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how WiseBlock (operated by Facturama Limited, company number 8595688, registered at 16 Blanchington Road, Seaford, BN33YN, United Kingdom) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at wiseblock.co.uk.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and improve your experience.
3. Cookie consent management
When you first visit the site you are asked which cookies you allow. Until you answer, we set only strictly necessary cookies — no analytics cookies are loaded, and nothing is requested from Google.
- Accept all: allow every category below
- Reject all: allow only strictly necessary cookies
- Choose cookies: decide category by category
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the link in the footer of every page. Withdrawing analytics consent also deletes the analytics cookies already stored on your device.
We record your choice in a strictly necessary cookie (wiseblock_consent) so that we do not ask again on every page. If we later change the cookies we use, we will ask you afresh rather than rely on your earlier answer.
