Cookie Policy
Last updated · November 9, 2026
1. What This Policy Covers
This Cookie Policy explains how wow42 uses cookies and similar technologies (like browser local storage) when you use our website and platform. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
2. What We Use, and Why
We use a small number of strictly necessary cookies and local storage entries — the kind needed to make the Service work — and, if you accept them, analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica) and advertising pixels (LinkedIn, Reddit) on our website and platform.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| access_token | Local storage (browser) / secure device storage (mobile app) | Keeps you signed in; authorizes your requests to the platform | Until logout or expiry |
| refresh_token | Local storage / secure device storage | Lets the app renew your session without asking you to log in again | Until logout or expiry |
| user_id | Local storage | Identifies your account to the app | Until logout |
| user_email | Local storage | Displays your email in the interface | Until logout |
| ui_settings | Cookie | Remembers your interface preferences | Session/persistent, as needed |
| lang | Cookie | Remembers your interface language | 12 months |
| theme | Cookie | Remembers your light or dark preference | 12 months |
| briefSeen | Cookie | Remembers that you have already seen the intro | 12 months |
| cookieConsentV2 | Cookie | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies and advertising pixels | 6 months |
| _ga | Cookie (Google Analytics) | Distinguishes visitors to measure website traffic. Set only if you accept analytics cookies | Up to 24 months |
| _ga_9M8JCCJ7WK | Cookie (Google Analytics) | Keeps session state for the same measurement. Set only if you accept analytics cookies | Up to 24 months |
| _ym_uid, _ym_d | Cookie (Yandex Metrica) | Distinguishes visitors and stores the date of their first visit, for website analytics. Set only if you accept | 1 year |
| _ym_isad | Cookie (Yandex Metrica) | Detects whether a visitor uses an ad blocker, for website analytics. Set only if you accept | 20 hours |
| _ym_visorc_* | Cookie (Yandex Metrica) | Lets session replay work correctly. Set only if you accept | 30 minutes |
| yandexuid, i, yuidss, ymex, usst | Cookie (Yandex, on Yandex domains) | Identifies visitors for Yandex Metrica. Set only if you accept | 1 year |
| li_fat_id | Cookie (LinkedIn) | Measures conversions from our LinkedIn advertising. Set only if you accept | 30 days |
| li_sugr, UserMatchHistory, AnalyticsSyncHistory | Cookie (LinkedIn, on linkedin.com) | Matches visitors and syncs LinkedIn advertising identifiers. Set only if you accept | 30 to 90 days |
| bcookie, lidc | Cookie (LinkedIn, on linkedin.com) | Identifies devices against abuse and routes requests to a data center. Set only if you accept | 24 hours to 1 year |
| _rdt_uuid | Cookie (Reddit) | Distinguishes visitors to measure our Reddit advertising. Set only if you accept | 90 days |
| _rdt_cid | Cookie (Reddit) | Stores the identifier of a click on our Reddit advertisement. Set only if you accept | 90 days |
We also use BroadcastChannel/browser lock APIs internally to keep multiple open tabs in sync (e.g., logging you out of all tabs at once) — these don't store personal data on their own; they coordinate the values above.
3. Analytics and Advertising
With your consent, LinkedIn and Reddit receive website visit and registration data so that we can measure our advertising. Email addresses and the contents of forms are not passed to them. Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica are analytics, and they are likewise set only with your consent. If you decline, none of these is loaded. If our use of cookies changes, we will update this policy and, where required by law, ask for your consent first.
4. Managing Cookies and Local Storage
Because the items above are strictly necessary for signing in and using the Service, disabling them will prevent the platform from working properly (e.g., you'll be logged out). You can clear cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings, or by logging out and clearing your browser/app data.
Analytics cookies and advertising pixels are different: they are set only if you accept them, and you can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of our website.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. We'll post the updated version with a new "Last updated" date.
