We use cookies to make Wish Greeting work better for you. We do not use cookies to identify you personally or sell your data. You can control most cookies through your browser settings.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the website owners.

Cookies can be:

  • Session cookies — Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies — Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them
  • First-party cookies — Set directly by wish.powerofsomething.com
  • Third-party cookies — Set by external services we use (e.g. Google Analytics, Google AdSense)

Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage — these function similarly to cookies and are covered by this policy.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  • To make the website function correctly and securely
  • To remember your preferences (such as dark mode settings)
  • To understand how you use our website so we can improve it
  • To measure and analyse website traffic and performance
  • To display relevant advertisements and measure their effectiveness
  • To prevent fraud and ensure security

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. Without them, basic features like navigation and page loading may not work correctly. Essential cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie settings.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are visited most, how long people stay, where they come from, and what searches they make. This helps us improve the quality and relevance of our content.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics uses anonymised data and does not identify individual users by name.

Advertising Cookies

If we display advertisements via Google AdSense, advertising cookies may be placed on your device to show you relevant ads based on your browsing behaviour across websites. These are controlled by Google, not by us.

Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred category) and provide enhanced functionality. They are not strictly necessary but improve your experience.

Third-Party Cookies

When you use social sharing buttons (WhatsApp, Twitter/X, Facebook, Telegram), those platforms may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies — please refer to those platforms' own cookie policies.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

You can choose to disable cookies at any time, but please be aware of the potential impact:

Essential Cookies

Disabling essential cookies may prevent wish.powerofsomething.com from working properly. Some features such as page navigation, wish loading, and the modal editor may not function correctly.

Analytics Cookies

Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the website. It will prevent us from collecting anonymous usage data, which we use to improve our content and service.

Advertising Cookies

Disabling advertising cookies means you will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. The number of ads displayed will remain the same.

Disabling third-party cookies will not prevent you from using any core features of Wish Greeting. You can browse, copy, and share wishes without any cookies enabled.
