Cookie Usage Policy
How we use tracking technologies to improve your experience on wisepointnode.com
We're upfront about how wisepointnode.com works behind the scenes. This page explains what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device. They help us remember your preferences and understand how people use our site. Some cookies are essential for the site to function. Others help us improve your experience or measure how well our content performs.
What We Track and Why
Different cookies serve different purposes. Here's what happens when you visit wisepointnode.com and what each type of tracking does for you.
Essential Cookies
These keep the site running. They remember your login status, maintain security, and ensure pages load correctly. You can't disable these because the site wouldn't work without them.
Preference Cookies
These remember your choices like language settings or which topics interest you most. They make return visits more convenient by keeping your preferences saved.
Analytics Cookies
These show us which pages people find helpful and where they struggle. We use this data to improve our budgeting content and make the learning experience better.
Marketing Cookies
These track your interests across websites to show you relevant content. They help us reach people who might benefit from our budgeting programs without wasting everyone's time with irrelevant ads.

All cookies accepted
Clicking this button removes all tracking, preference, and marketing cookies from your browser. Essential cookies remain active so the site continues to work properly. Your choice is saved and remembered for future visits.
Specific Cookies We Use
Here are the actual cookies you'll find on wisepointnode.com:
- wpn_session - Essential cookie that maintains your login session and keeps you signed in as you move between pages
- wpn_preferences - Stores your site preferences including dark mode settings and content display options
- wpn_analytics - Google Analytics cookie that tracks page views and user behavior to help us improve content
- wpn_consent - Records your cookie preferences so we don't keep asking you about them
- wpn_referral - Remembers how you found us so we know which marketing efforts actually work
Most cookies expire after your browsing session ends. Some preference and consent cookies last up to 12 months so we don't have to ask you about the same settings every time you visit.
How Long We Keep Data
Cookie data doesn't live forever. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Preference cookies typically last 6-12 months. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized after 26 months, at which point it's no longer tied to your specific browsing session.
We review stored cookie data quarterly and delete anything that's no longer useful or necessary. If you delete cookies from your browser, everything goes immediately.

Third-Party Tracking
We use Google Analytics to understand site usage patterns. This means Google places cookies on your device when you visit wisepointnode.com. Google's privacy policy governs how they handle this data.
If we embed videos from YouTube or other platforms, those services may also set their own cookies. We don't control third-party cookies, but you can block them through browser settings.
We don't sell cookie data to third parties. Any data collected through analytics stays within our team and is used solely to improve the learning experience for students in the Philippines and elsewhere.
Updates to This Policy
We update this policy when we change how we use cookies or when regulations change. The date at the top shows when we last revised it. Major changes will be highlighted on the homepage for at least 30 days.
Check back occasionally to see if anything has changed. We don't send email notifications about policy updates unless the changes significantly affect how we handle your data.
