The short version: We use a small number of cookies to keep the site working and to understand how visitors use it. We do not run ad-tracking pixels and we do not sell your data. You can disable cookies in your browser; the site will still mostly work.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make sites work, remember preferences, and collect basic usage information. This policy explains what cookies we use on manawavemarketing.com and your choices about them.

Below is a list of cookies and similar technologies active on our site. We keep this list short on purpose.

| __mwv_session | Essential | Maintains your session state during your visit (e.g., remembering which page you came from, basic CSRF protection). | Session |

How we use cookies
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They cannot be disabled in our system without breaking the site. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve the site, not to track individuals. You can opt out of analytics cookies through our cookie consent banner or by using your browser controls (see below).
What we do not use
We do not use:
- Ad-tracking pixels (Meta Pixel, Google Ads, TikTok, etc.) on this site.
- Cross-site retargeting cookies.
- Third-party marketing trackers that resell your data.
If we ever change this (for example, to test paid acquisition campaigns), we will update this policy first and provide a clear consent mechanism for visitors in regions that require it.
Your choices
Cookie consent banner
If you are visiting from the EU, UK, EEA, or another region requiring cookie consent, you will see a banner asking your preference on the first visit. You can change your choice anytime by clicking the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer (where available) or by clearing your browser cookies for this site, which will re-trigger the banner.
Browser controls
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers also let you set per-site cookie permissions. Here are direct links to the cookie-control settings for the major browsers:
Blocking essential cookies may break parts of the site. Blocking analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the site.
Opt out of Google Analytics globally
You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Do Not Track
We honor browser-level "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals where reasonably feasible. If your browser sends a DNT signal, we will not load non-essential cookies.
Changes to this policy
If we add, remove, or change cookies on the site, we will update this policy and the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will display a notice on the site.
