- Our Use of Cookies
A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed. Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

- Advertising (Google AdSense)
This Site is affiliated with Google AdSense for the purposes of placing advertising on the Site. Google AdSense uses standard and widely-available tools for the placement and serving of ads, including those provided by Google, Inc. and its affiliates. We publish interest-based advertisements on the Site; that is, ads that are tailored to reflect your interests. To help understand your interests, Google and our other advertising partners will track your behavior on our website and on other websites across the Internet using cookies.
Google’s use of the DART cookie:
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on WiseHomist.com. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to WiseHomist.com and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy at the following URL – https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
By using this Site, you consent to the use of such cookies and the sharing of data captured by such cookies with Google and our other third-party partners for advertising purposes. You can view, delete or add interest categories associated with your browser by visiting: https://adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of the network cookie using those settings or using the Network Advertising Initiative’s multi-cookie opt-out mechanism at: http://optout.networkadvertising.org. However, these opt-out mechanisms themselves use cookies, and if you clear the cookies from your browser your opt-out will not be maintained.
- Email Addresses
We may collect your email address, but only if you voluntarily provide it to us. This may occur, for example, if you sign up to receive an email newsletter or enter a promotion. We will use your email address for the purposes for which you provided it to us, and also from time to time to send you emails regarding the Site or other products or services that we believe may be of interest to you. You may opt out of such email communications at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” button in the email.
Your email address may also be shared with the technology provider we use for email marketing purposes (e.g., Mailchimp, ConvertKit), but only for the purposes for which you provided it.
- Registration or Account Data
We currently do not offer user registration or accounts on WiseHomist.com. Should we introduce such features in the future, we would collect information such as your name, screen name, and password.

We would not provide any personally-identifying information about you to third parties, except if required by law.
- Transactional Data
We currently do not process transactions (e.g., sales of goods or services) directly on WiseHomist.com. Should we introduce direct sales or services in the future, we would process information relating to transactions. Any payment processing would be handled by third-party payment service providers (e.g., Stripe, PayPal), and we would share transactional data with them only to the extent necessary for processing payments, refunds, and related queries.
- Third-Party Links
WiseHomist.com may contain links to third-party websites. Except as otherwise discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you on our Site. Other sites accessible through our site via links or otherwise have their own policies in regard to privacy. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of third parties.
- Security
We maintain reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. However, no exchange of data over the Internet can be guaranteed as 100% secure. While we make every effort to protect your personal information shared with us through our Site, you acknowledge that the personal information you voluntarily share with us through this Site could be accessed or tampered with by a third party. You agree that we are not responsible for any intercepted information shared through our Site without our knowledge or permission. Additionally, you release us from any and all claims arising out of or related to the use of such intercepted information in any unauthorized manner.

- For California Residents (CCPA Compliance)
California law gives residents the right to opt out of the “sale” of their personal information to third parties, including for advertising purposes. Under California law, the sharing of your information with a service provider for advertising purposes could be considered a “sale.”
To be clear, WiseHomist.com does not sell your name, contact information, or any other sensitive personal information to third parties. However, information shared with advertising partners (like Google AdSense) for tailored advertising may be considered a “sale” under California law.
