This Cookie Policy explains how Powercrwristio ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at powercrwristio.world. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we handle personal data.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, remember user preferences, and provide information to site owners. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded on the page (third-party cookies).
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. References to "cookies" in this policy encompass these related technologies where applicable.

3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to ensure our website operates correctly, remember your preferences, and — with your consent — understand how visitors interact with our content. We categorise cookies into three groups, each described below.
4. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences or submitting a form. Strictly necessary cookies do not store personally identifiable information in a way that identifies you without your separate consent.
Examples of strictly necessary cookies used on our website:
- Cookie consent storage: Remembers your cookie preference choices so the consent banner does not reappear on every visit. Stored in local storage under the key associated with our consent management system. Duration: twelve months.
- Session management: Maintains basic session state for form interactions. Duration: session (deleted when browser closes).
- Security cookies: Help protect against cross-site request forgery and other security threats. Duration: session to twenty-four hours.
Legal basis: Legitimate interest in providing a secure, functional website. These cookies do not require consent under GDPR because they are strictly necessary.
5. Analytics and Marketing Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously or pseudonymously. They are only activated when you click "Accept All" or enable them through "Cookie Settings". If you click "Reject", these cookies are not placed on your device.
Analytics cookies may collect:
- Pages visited and navigation paths
- Time spent on individual pages
- Geographic region (country or city level, not precise location)
- Device and browser characteristics
- Referral source (search engine, direct visit, external link)
We use this aggregated data to improve page content, identify popular resources, and optimise site performance. We do not use analytics data to build individual user profiles for advertising purposes.
Legal basis: Your explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time by adjusting cookie settings or clearing your browser cookies.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears with three options:
- Accept All: Enables both strictly necessary and analytics/marketing cookies.
- Reject: Enables only strictly necessary cookies. Analytics and marketing cookies are not placed.
- Cookie Settings: Opens a panel where you can toggle analytics and marketing cookies individually. Strictly necessary cookies remain always enabled.
You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for our domain and revisiting the site, which will display the consent banner again. You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies entirely, though this may affect website functionality.
7. Browser-Level Cookie Controls
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. The following links provide instructions for common browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
Blocking all cookies may prevent certain features of our website from working correctly, including the cookie consent preference storage itself.
8. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website may be set by third-party services we use, such as analytics providers or content delivery networks. These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they use the data collected. We select providers that commit to GDPR-compliant data processing and offer data processing agreements.
We do not permit third-party advertising networks to place tracking cookies on our website without your explicit consent.
9. Data Retention for Cookie Data
Cookie data retention periods vary by type:
- Consent preferences: Twelve months, after which renewed consent is requested.
- Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser.
- Analytics cookies: Up to twenty-six months, after which data is automatically purged or anonymised.
10. Your Rights
Under the GDPR and New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you have rights regarding data collected through cookies, including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, and object to processing. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time. For details on exercising these rights, see our Privacy Policy.
11. Security Measures
Cookie data is transmitted over HTTPS-encrypted connections. We implement access controls to prevent unauthorised access to analytics dashboards and consent management systems. Our hosting infrastructure is regularly monitored for security vulnerabilities.
12. Updates to This Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy when we introduce new cookies, change our analytics providers, or update legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Significant changes will be communicated via a notice on our website.
