Last updated: 18 March 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on the website operated by Wlixaruneph (the "website"), why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we process personal data, including data collected via cookies.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owner. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels or similar tracking technologies that may be used for similar purposes. In this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer to cookies and such similar technologies where relevant.
Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by a different domain, e.g. an analytics or advertising provider). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (they remain for a set period or until you delete them).
3. Legal basis for using cookies
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in Norway and the EEA) and the GDPR:
- Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function (e.g. security, load balancing, remembering your cookie choices). These do not require your consent because they are essential for the service you request.
- Non-essential cookies (e.g. analytics, marketing or preference cookies) require your consent before they are placed on your device. We ask for this consent via our cookie banner and cookie settings. You may withdraw consent at any time by changing your settings or rejecting cookies.
4. Categories of cookies we use
4.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable basic features such as page navigation, secure access, and remembering your cookie consent choices. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. They do not collect information that identifies you for marketing purposes.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences (accept, reject or custom choices) so we do not show the banner again unnecessarily. | 12 months |
These cookies cannot be disabled if you wish to use the website. You may use your browser settings to block all cookies, but some parts of the site may then not work correctly.
4.2 Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website (e.g. number of visits, which pages are viewed, how long users stay). This information is used in aggregated form to improve our website and user experience. We use analytics only where you have given your consent. Data may be processed in a way that does not directly identify you (e.g. anonymised IP).
| Cookie / technology | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Analytics session | Counts page views and basic usage metrics to improve site performance and content. | Session or up to 24 months (as configured) |
Legal basis: Your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw consent at any time via our cookie settings or by rejecting cookies when you first visit.
4.3 Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to deliver relevant advertisements, to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, or to remember that you have visited our site. These are only placed if you have given your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time via cookie settings.
| Cookie / technology | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Marketing / advertising | Used to show you relevant offers and to measure ad performance, where we use such tools. | As per provider (typically up to 12–24 months) |
Legal basis: Your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw consent at any time.
5. How long we keep cookie data
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are stored for the duration indicated in the tables above or until you delete them via your browser or our cookie settings. When you change your consent (e.g. reject or change categories), we update the stored preferences and, where technically feasible, stop setting or using the cookies you have disabled. Existing cookies may remain until they expire or until you clear them in your browser.
6. How to manage your preferences
On our website: When you first visit, you can choose "Accept all", "Reject" or "Cookie settings". In Cookie settings you can switch analytics and marketing cookies on or off. Strictly necessary cookies are always enabled and cannot be turned off if you wish to use the site. Your choices are stored in a cookie so we can remember them on your next visit.
In your browser: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via their settings. You can usually find this under "Privacy", "Security" or "Cookies". Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our and other websites. For more information, see your browser's help section (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
Withdrawing consent: You may withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies at any time by opening our cookie settings (via the cookie banner link if shown, or by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site to make a new choice). Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
7. Third-party cookies and links
If we embed content from third parties (e.g. maps, videos or social plugins) or use third-party analytics or advertising services, those third parties may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies. We recommend that you read the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties. We only allow such services where we have a contract in place and, for non-essential cookies, where you have given your consent.
8. International transfers
If any cookie data is processed by service providers outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (e.g. standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions) as required by the GDPR. Details can be provided on request.
9. Your rights
In addition to managing cookies as described above, you have the rights set out in our Privacy Policy (e.g. access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, object, withdraw consent, lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority). To exercise these rights, contact us at help@wlixaruneph.world or at our address above.
10. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology or the law. The "Last updated" date at the top will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Where changes are significant, we may notify you by a notice on the website or by other appropriate means.
