Wealth Craft Club Cookie Policy

Introduction

Wealth Craft Club (“we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide and improve our online trading and investing courses platform. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We serve users globally (including the EU), and we adhere to privacy laws like the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive. In line with these regulations, we do not use non-essential cookies (analytics or marketing) without your prior consent[1]. You will be able to access our services even if you decline optional cookies, as required by law[2]. We are committed to transparency and user control regarding cookies.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website[3]. These files contain information that helps the website remember your actions or preferences over time. Cookies can be either session cookies (temporary, erased when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device until they expire or are deleted). Cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services integrated into the site (third-party cookies)[4]. In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies like web beacons or pixel tags (tiny transparent images embedded in emails or pages) that help us understand user interactions[5]. In this policy, we use the term “cookies” to refer to all these technologies.

Types of Cookies We Use and Why We Use Them

We use the following categories of cookies on the Wealth Craft Club platform to support our global service and enhance your experience:

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and for you to use its features, especially secure or logged-in areas[6]. For example, when you log in to access your courses, a session cookie is used to keep you authenticated as you navigate the site. This allows us to remember your account session and provide you with the content you are entitled to. Without these cookies, services you have requested (such as viewing course materials in your account) cannot be provided. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under the GDPR, but we still want to inform you of their purpose. We only use them for purposes like:

• Authentication and Security: e.g. a session ID cookie to maintain your login status and protect your account. This cookie is typically erased when you log out or close your browser.
• Site Performance: ensuring that page loads, user settings (like language or interface preferences if applicable), and other essential functionalities work correctly.

Legal basis: The use of strictly necessary cookies is based on our legitimate interest or contractual necessity to provide the service you explicitly request (access to our platform). These cookies are first-party and are usually session-based.

2. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies (also known as “performance” or “statistics” cookies) help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it[7]. We use these cookies to collect aggregated, anonymous data on metrics like page visits, traffic sources, and user interactions. This information does not directly identify you, but it provides us with insights into which content is popular or if users encounter errors, allowing us to enhance our courses and website functionality.

Our site specifically uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for these purposes. GA4 is a web analytics service provided by Google that uses first-party cookies to distinguish unique users and sessions[8]. For example, GA4 sets a cookie called _ga (which lasts about 2 years) to assign a unique anonymous ID to each visitor, and a cookie named _ga_<container-id> (also lasting up to 2 years) to persist session state[9]. These cookies allow us to measure how many users visit our site, how long they stay, which pages they view, and other usage patterns. We have configured Google Analytics in compliance with GDPR (for instance, IP anonymization is enabled by default in GA4, and we do not collect personally identifiable information via analytics). The data from analytics cookies is used solely to improve our website and offerings.

We deploy GA4 via Google Tag Manager (GTM), a tool that helps manage website tags. Google Tag Manager itself does not set cookies on your device[10]. It serves as a container to load other services (like GA4) more efficiently. GTM may read existing cookies set by those services, but it doesn’t store any new information in your browser by default. (Note: The only exception is if we were using GTM’s preview mode for debugging, which might set a temporary cookie visible only to site administrators during testing, not to regular users[11].)

We also use Google Search Console to monitor our website’s performance in Google’s search results. Importantly, Google Search Console does not set any cookies on your device or track your activity on our site[12]. It operates entirely on Google’s side, providing us with aggregate reports (e.g., how often our site appears in search, which queries lead to clicks). There are no user-facing cookies or tracking from Search Console on our website.

Consent requirement: Analytics cookies are not strictly necessary for our site’s core functionality, so we will only use GA4 analytics cookies if you have given consent (for EU/EEA users and where applicable). If you opt out of analytics cookies, our site will still work for you – you can log in and access courses normally, but we won’t gather data about your visit for our analytics. These cookies are only activated after you explicitly allow them (such as via a consent banner choice, when implemented). You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all sites by using Google’s opt-out browser add-on, if you prefer.

3. Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track your online activity to help us tailor marketing and promotional content to your interests[13]. On our platform, marketing/tracking cookies primarily come into play through our email marketing and any advertising or retargeting we may conduct. Currently, the key marketing-related tool we use is GoHighLevel, which we utilize for email marketing and customer relationship management.

When you interact with our marketing emails or certain campaign pages:

• We may use tracking pixels (small invisible images) in our emails to inform us when you open an email or click a link. This helps us gauge engagement with our content. For example, if you subscribe to our newsletter, a pixel in the email can tell us that you opened it, and it records that activity for our statistics.
• If you click a link in an email that leads to our website, a cookie may be placed to note that you arrived via an email campaign. This cookie (often provided by GoHighLevel’s tracking system) lets us see that a known subscriber or user took an action on our site. It can help us connect your site activity with our email marketing efforts (for instance, if clicking an email leads you to register for a webinar or view a course, we can attribute that action to the email). Such cookies might have names like msgsndr_id or similar, and are used to identify campaign traffic and user preferences.

Additionally, GoHighLevel’s platform may use cookies or similar technologies on our site for other marketing purposes, such as tracking conversions (e.g., if we run a promotional sign-up funnel) or integrating with ad platforms. Any such cookies would typically be third-party cookies set by GoHighLevel or its partners. We only use these tools to improve our service and marketing effectiveness – for example, to avoid sending you irrelevant offers or to follow up with users who showed interest in certain courses.

At present, we do not use extensive third-party advertising networks (like Facebook Ads or Google Ads cookies) on our website beyond the tracking described above. If we introduce advertising cookies in the future (for example, Google Ads remarketing tags or Facebook Pixel for targeted ads), we will update this policy and ensure those cookies are also only set with your consent. Note that if Google Analytics 4 is linked with Google Ads in the future, GA4 may set additional cookies to help with ad performance measurement[14] – those too would be considered marketing cookies and would require consent.

Consent requirement: Marketing cookies require your opt-in consent. We will not set marketing or tracking cookies on your device unless you have allowed them through a consent mechanism. In practice, this means if you decline marketing cookies (for example, via our cookie banner settings once available, or via your browser’s Do Not Track signals if honored), we will disable GoHighLevel tracking scripts and similar marketing tools. You will still be able to use our website and courses; however, we won’t be able to personalize content for you or measure the effectiveness of our outreach as described. If you are not an EU user, you may not see a consent banner, but you still have the ability to opt out of these technologies as described below.

Legal basis: For any marketing-related cookie that processes personal data or tracks you, we rely on your consent under GDPR. You are free to withdraw that consent at any time, and we will cease the related processing.

Managing Cookies and Your Consent Choices

We believe in giving you control over your data. Here’s how you can manage or withdraw your consent to our use of cookies:

• Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. For example, you can typically configure your browser to block all cookies, to accept only certain types, or to delete cookies when you close your browser[15]. You can also clear any existing cookies that have been set. Please note that if you disable all cookies, the strictly necessary functions of our site (like keeping you logged in) may not work. However, you are free to adjust your browser settings to reject analytics or marketing cookies. Consult your browser’s help documentation (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge support pages) for specific instructions on managing cookie preferences[15].
• Future Cookie Consent Tool: We are in the process of implementing a dedicated cookie consent banner and preference center on the Wealth Craft Club site. This will make it easier for you to grant or refuse consent for different categories of cookies on your first visit and to change your preferences later. Once this tool is live, when you visit our site you will be presented with clear options (e.g., “Accept All Cookies,” “Reject Non-Essential Cookies,” or “Customize Settings”). You will be able to opt in/out of analytics and marketing cookies in a granular way, while still having access to the site if you opt out. It will be just as easy to withdraw consent as it is to give it – you might, for instance, use a “Cookie Settings” link that we’ll place on the site (likely in the footer or your account settings) to revisit your choices at any time[2]. We will also record and honor your preferences in compliance with GDPR’s consent logging requirements.
• Consent Withdrawal: If you have previously consented to analytics or marketing cookies and wish to withdraw your consent before our on-site tool is available, you can do so at any time by deleting the cookies from your browser or adjusting your browser settings to block those cookies going forward. For Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on which prevents Google Analytics from collecting data in your browser. If you unsubscribe from our email list, we will stop sending you marketing emails, and thus no further email tracking will occur for you. If you remain on our email list but do not want to be tracked via email cookies/pixels, you can configure your email client to block remote images (which will block the tracking pixel), though this may affect how the email content is displayed.

We assure you that refusing or clearing cookies will not limit your access to our core services. As per GDPR and ePrivacy rules, we do not “cookie-wall” our content – so you can reject optional cookies and still log in and use Wealth Craft Club without hindrance[2]. The only impact is that our ability to collect anonymized usage stats or to personalize your experience will be limited.

Updates to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or to ensure compliance with evolving legal requirements. When we make changes, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of the policy (and where required, we may re-request your consent for new cookie uses). We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies, please contact us at the email address provided in our Privacy Policy. We value your privacy and will be happy to assist you.

For more detailed information on cookies and privacy regulations, you may refer to resources like GDPR.eu[1] or consult our Privacy Policy. We also draw on the policies of our service providers – for instance, Google’s documentation on Analytics cookies[9] and Tag Manager[10], and GoHighLevel’s guidelines – to ensure our usage is transparent and in line with industry standards.
