Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
Welcome to UniversalWellnessHub.com. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide and improve our services, to monitor affiliate link activity (ClickBank), to enhance user experience, and to analyse site usage.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, what information they collect, and what choices you have regarding them. By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy (for non-essential cookies, consent will be requested before they are set).
2. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and store certain information about your visit (e.g. login status, language preference, shopping cart, affiliate link tracking).
Cookies also include similar technologies such as local storage, web beacons, and tracking pixels.
3. Why we use cookies
We use cookies for various purposes:
- Strictly necessary cookies — These are essential to enable core functions of the site (for example, maintaining your session, enabling navigation, retaining basic settings).
- Affiliate tracking cookies — Since we use ClickBank for affiliate marketing / sales, we place cookies to track when a visitor clicks an affiliate link. This helps ensure correct attribution and commission credit if a purchase is made. According to ClickBank’s policies, affiliate cookies typically last up to 60 days. BlackHatWorld+1
- Performance / Analytics cookies — These help us understand how visitors use our site (which pages are visited, how long people stay, etc.), so we can improve content and performance.
- Functionality / Preference cookies — These remember your choices (e.g. language, region, display preferences) so that we can provide a better experience.
- Advertising / Targeting cookies (if applicable) — If we run advertising, remarketing, or third-party ads/promotion, we may use cookies to track ad performance, user behaviour, and deliver relevant adverts.
Because affiliate tracking and advertising cookies are not “strictly necessary” for the site’s core function, we will only set them after you have given informed consent. TermsFeed+1
4. Cookies we use
Below is a general outline of the types of cookies we may use. The actual cookie names, durations, and third-party providers depend on the tools, plugins, and affiliate services (e.g. ClickBank) we use. You should update this section with your exact cookie set.
| Category | Purpose | Typical Duration / Examples | Provider (First- / Third-party) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Enables essential site functions — sessions, navigation, consent storage, etc. | Session cookies (deleted when browser closes) or persistent cookies for consent preferences | First-party |
| Affiliate tracking | To attribute affiliate sales and clicks to correct affiliate (via ClickBank) | Up to 60 days (standard ClickBank cookie period) BlackHatWorld+1 | ClickBank (third-party) |
| Performance / Analytics | Tracks site usage (pages visited, time spent, bounce rate, etc.) for site improvement | Persistent / up to 2 years (e.g. Google Analytics _ga) | Third-party analytics providers |
| Functionality / Preference | Remembers user settings (e.g. language, display preferences) | Persistent | First- or third-party (depending on plugin) |
| Advertising / Targeting | Tracks browsing behaviour to show relevant ads, measure ad campaign performance (if we run ads) | Persistent, varies per ad-network | Third-party ad / remarketing networks |
Important: The above is illustrative. You must verify exactly which cookies your website sets — including names and durations — and list them in this policy.
5. Consent and Control
- On your first visit (or when cookie preferences haven’t yet been set), we will display a cookie consent banner / pop-up that describes the categories of cookies used, giving you the option to accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or choose which categories to allow. iubenda+1
- As long as you do not consent, we will not set non-essential cookies (such as affiliate tracking, analytics or advertising cookies). Online Casinos+1
- You can manage your cookie preferences at any time — either via the cookie banner/settings panel (if available) or via your browser settings (to block or delete cookies). iubenda+1
- Please note: if you block or delete certain cookies, some functionality may not work correctly (for example affiliate links may not attribute properly, or site features may not behave as expected).
6. How long cookies stay on your device
Cookie lifespan depends on the type:
- Session cookies: expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: may stay for several months or years — depending on configuration (e.g. analytics cookies, preference cookies).
- Affiliate tracking cookies (by ClickBank) typically last up to 60 days, meaning if a visitor returns within 60 days after clicking your affiliate link and makes a purchase — attribution may still apply. BlackHatWorld+1
7. Third-party cookies and services
Because we use third-party services (such as ClickBank for affiliate tracking, analytics tools, advertising networks, maybe payment gateways), those services may set their own cookies when you interact with them. We do not control these external cookies — you should consult the respective third-party’s cookie/privacy policies for more details.
8. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example, if we add new third-party services, revise cookie usage, or need to comply with changes in regulation. We will update the “Last updated” date at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

10. Legal / Compliance Notice
As a site operating globally and possibly serving users in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we aim to comply with relevant data-privacy and cookie legislation (for example, the ePrivacy Directive / UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) guidelines, and where applicable (if processing personal data), regional data protection laws such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)).

Because affiliate tracking cookies (like those from ClickBank) are typically not “strictly necessary,” we acknowledge that these cookies require explicit informed consent before being set. TermsFeed+1
