1. Introduction
At Lifewhims, we use cookies and similar technologies to ensure our website works smoothly, enhance your experience, and help us understand how visitors engage with our content.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control them.
By continuing to browse or use Lifewhims, you consent to our use of cookies as described below.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They store small pieces of information to help websites function efficiently, recognize returning users, and analyze visitor interactions.
Cookies are not harmful — they don’t contain viruses or personally identifiable information — but they can influence your browsing experience.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use several categories of cookies to support Lifewhims’ operation and improve usability:
A. Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies
These cookies are fundamental to make the website work properly. They:
- Enable core site functions (navigation, page loading, commenting)
- Manage cookie consent preferences
- Maintain session security
You cannot disable these cookies via the cookie settings because the website cannot function without them.
B. Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use Lifewhims — which pages are most popular, how long users stay, and how they navigate the site.
We use trusted third-party analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) to collect anonymized statistics.
These cookies allow us to:
- Measure site traffic and engagement
- Identify areas for improvement
- Deliver a smoother, faster experience
All data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
C. Functional Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences and settings to personalize your experience, for example:
- Saving your name or details when you comment

Disabling these may reduce certain conveniences, but the site will remain functional.
D. Advertising or Affiliate Cookies (If Applicable)
If Lifewhims participates in affiliate programs or displays sponsored content, cookies may track referral links or ad performance.
These cookies do not collect personal data but help attribute commissions accurately.
We always disclose sponsored or affiliate relationships transparently in our posts.

Some cookies on Lifewhims come from third-party services that help improve our site or deliver content. These may include:
- Google Analytics — to track user behavior and site metrics.
- Email subscription tools — for newsletter sign-ups.
- Embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, social media posts).
These third-party sites have their own cookie and privacy policies. We encourage you to review them directly.

- Accept or reject non-essential cookies via the cookie consent banner when you first visit Lifewhims.
- Change your preferences anytime by adjusting your browser settings or clearing cookies.

Persistent cookies typically expire within 6–12 months, unless you clear them manually.
