At WDDIS – Website Design & Development IT Solutions, we value transparency. This Cookie Policy details how we use cookies, tracking scripts, and analytics technologies to optimize your browsing experience.
Last Updated: August 12, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make sites work efficiently, remember user preferences, maintain login sessions, and collect web performance measurements.

3. Google Analytics Disclosure
WDDIS utilizes Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our digital platform, allowing us to improve content, speed, and overall user experience.
Depending on configuration, Google Analytics processes information such as:
Pages visited, session duration, and referral traffic sources.
Approximate geographical location derived from IP address.
Device hardware model, operating system, and browser specifications.
Google Analytics processes data using cookies to measure usage metrics. You can manage Google measurement preferences via Google's privacy documentation or browser opt-out extensions.
4. Google Search Console Statement
WDDIS uses Google Search Console to monitor search visibility, indexation status, mobile usability, and Google Search performance.
Google Search Console is an administrative performance reporting service. It operates without placing tracking cookies on website visitors' browsers and is not used for individual user tracking.
5. Google Tag Manager (GTM)
WDDIS uses Google Tag Manager (GTM) to efficiently deploy and manage website scripts and tags. GTM itself is a cookieless domain that does not store personal tracking data; it simply fires configured tags (such as Google Analytics or Conversion Pixels) in accordance with your consent choices.
6. Google Ads, Meta (Facebook) Pixel & YouTube
Google Ads: Uses conversion tracking cookies to measure ad performance when users click through to WDDIS from Google Search.
Meta (Facebook) Pixel: Measures social campaign conversion performance and provides anonymized audience insights.
YouTube Embeds: Video showcases embedded on our platform may set privacy-enhanced cookies via YouTube to track video play counts.
7. How to Control & Disable Cookies
You have full control over cookie preferences:
Browser Settings: You can block or delete cookies through browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Note that disabling essential cookies may impact WooCommerce checkout and login sessions.
Analytics Opt-Out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on to prevent analytics tracking across all websites.
8. Frequently Asked Cookie Questions
Does WDDIS sell cookie tracking data to third parties?
No. Under our Zero Data-Sharing Policy, WDDIS never sells, rents, or trades cookie data or visitor records to third-party data brokers.
Does Google Search Console track my individual browser?
No. Google Search Console is an administrative reporting tool used by site owners to check search performance and does not place visitor tracking cookies on your device.
What happens if I disable non-essential cookies?
Core site functions (browsing, forms, WooCommerce login) will continue to work normally. Only anonymized analytics tracking and ad conversion reporting will be paused.
