1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and maintain your session. WalletMap uses essential and functional cookies to keep the service running. We may also use third-party advertising services that set additional cookies.

2. Cookies We Use

Session Cookie (next-auth.session-token): Essential. Required to keep you signed in. Expires when your session ends or after the configured session duration.
Locale Cookie (NEXT_LOCALE): Functional. Stores your language preference (zh-TW or en). Persistent until manually cleared.

3. Local Storage

Cookie Consent (cookie-consent): Stores your cookie consent preference and timestamp. This is stored in your browser's local storage, not as a cookie.
We use local storage minimally and only for essential functionality.

4. Third-Party Cookies (Advertising)

WalletMap uses Google AdSense to display ads on public pages (homepage, blog, guides, feature pages). Google and its advertising partners set cookies in your browser to serve ads — common cookie names include __gads, __gpi, IDE, and NID, used for ad delivery, frequency capping, conversion tracking, and ad preferences.
These third-party cookies are controlled by Google and its partners, not by WalletMap directly. For the full list and purposes, see Google's advertising cookies overview: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
You can opt out of Google personalized advertising at https://www.google.com/settings/ads, or opt out across multiple third-party ad vendors at once via https://www.aboutads.info or https://www.youronlinechoices.eu. (You may still see ads after opting out — they just won't be personalized.)
In the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and California, we ask for your consent to advertising cookies via a cookie-consent banner. You can update your choice at any time through the banner, or clear stored cookies from your browser settings.
Pages that display your personal financial data (the dashboard and related views) do not show ads or load advertising cookies.

5. Managing Cookies

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies (session cookie) will prevent you from using the authenticated features of the service. You can clear your locale cookie without affecting functionality — the site will default to your browser's preferred language.

6. Policy Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will indicate the last updated date at the top of this page.
