Cookie Policy

Essential website functions

WordPress, security, hosting and language features may use cookies or equivalent storage to maintain sessions, prevent abuse, remember language choices or support website operation.

Reader preferences

Features such as saved stories, reading preferences or selected bank interests may use browser local storage. Some of these preferences remain on your device rather than being stored in a Branch Wale account.

Analytics and performance

If analytics services are enabled, they may use cookies or similar technologies to understand traffic, performance and how readers use the site. The exact service in use can change over time.

Advertising cookies

If advertising services such as Google AdSense are enabled, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies or similar technologies for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention and, where permitted, personalisation. See our Privacy Policy for additional disclosures and user choices.

Your controls

Most browsers allow you to block, delete or limit cookies and site data. Some features may work differently if storage is disabled. Where legally required, additional consent controls may be presented.

Consent management

For personalised Google advertising in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, Google may require a Google-certified consent management platform. Branch Wale does not describe an ordinary notice banner as equivalent to such certification.
