This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit them.

They can help websites remember information, maintain essential functionality, recognise returning visitors and support additional services.

Similar technologies, including tracking pixels, browser storage and other identifiers, may perform related functions.

Cookies may be placed by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by external service providers (third-party cookies).

Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

3. Why We Use Cookies

My Wine live uses, or may use, cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  • To ensure that the website operates correctly and securely.

  • To remember cookie consent preferences.

  • To support course purchases, checkout functionality and access to purchased content.

  • To enable embedded content and services where applicable.

  • To measure advertising performance where advertising technologies are enabled and the necessary consent has been obtained.

  • To support affiliate referral tracking where applicable.

Not every category of cookie described in this policy is necessarily active during every visit.

The cookies actually used may depend on the pages you visit, the services you interact with and your consent preferences.

4. Categories of Cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of the website or for providing a service explicitly requested by the visitor.

They may support website security, checkout processes, session management and the storage of cookie consent choices.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent where the applicable legal exemption applies.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may support additional website features, such as embedded media, user preferences or other optional functionality.

Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, they will be subject to the applicable consent requirements.

Declining optional functional cookies may affect certain additional features without preventing access to the main website.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies can help website operators understand visitor interactions, such as page views, navigation patterns and website performance.

My Wine live does not currently use Google Analytics.

If Google Analytics or another analytics service is introduced, we will update our cookie information and apply the consent requirements relevant to that service.

Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising cookies and similar technologies may be used to measure advertising campaigns, attribute conversions and support advertising activities.

My Wine live may use Meta Pixel for advertising measurement on Facebook and Instagram.

Where Meta Pixel is enabled, it may collect information about visits and interactions with the website, subject to the visitor’s consent and applicable data protection requirements.

Non-essential advertising tracking must not be activated before the required consent has been obtained.

5. CookieYes and Consent Management

My Wine live uses CookieYes to help manage cookie information and visitor preferences.

Where consent is required, visitors are offered the opportunity to accept or reject non-essential cookies and to manage their preferences.

Declining non-essential cookies should not prevent visitors from accessing the ordinary content of the website.

Visitors may withdraw or change their consent at any time using the cookie preferences controls made available on the website.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

CookieYes may also use necessary storage technologies to record consent choices and help ensure that those preferences are respected.

6. Cookies Used for Purchases and Online Courses

My Wine live uses ThriveCart to manage course purchases and subscriptions.

When you interact with a checkout or purchase a course, ThriveCart and the relevant payment service providers may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as:

  • Maintaining checkout sessions.

  • Supporting transaction security.

  • Preventing fraudulent activity.

  • Processing payments.

  • Managing authentication and access to purchased services.

The cookies involved may vary depending on the payment method, checkout configuration and services used.

Some cookies may be strictly necessary to complete a transaction or provide the service requested by the customer.

Other cookies, where present, remain subject to applicable consent requirements.

External payment providers may also apply their own cookie and privacy policies.

7. Embedded Videos and Third-Party Content

My Wine live may display educational videos or other content delivered through external hosting and streaming services.

These services may use cookies or similar technologies when their content is loaded or played.

Depending on the provider and configuration, these technologies may support video playback, security, performance or additional tracking functions.

Where embedded content uses non-essential tracking technologies, the appropriate consent requirements must be respected.

Visitors should consult the relevant third-party privacy and cookie information for further details.

8. Affiliate Links and Referral Tracking

Some articles on My Wine live contain affiliate links to external retailers or service providers.

When you click an affiliate link, you may be redirected through an affiliate network or to a merchant’s website.

Affiliate networks and merchants may use cookies, referral identifiers or similar technologies to recognise qualifying referrals and attribute purchases.

The tracking technologies used by these external organisations are governed by their own practices and applicable legal obligations.

Where affiliate tracking technologies are placed or accessed through My Wine live, we will apply the consent requirements relevant to those technologies.

My Wine live may earn a commission on qualifying purchases made through affiliate links, without additional cost to the customer.

9. Meta Pixel

My Wine live may use Meta Pixel, a tracking technology provided by Meta Platforms, to help measure the performance of advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram.

When enabled with the required consent, Meta Pixel may process information relating to website visits, page interactions and certain actions taken by visitors.

Meta may also process information under its own privacy terms.

You can find further information about Meta’s privacy practices at:

https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/

Advertising tracking through Meta Pixel is optional and must be subject to the appropriate consent controls.

10. Which Cookies Are Used on This Website?

The specific cookies used on My Wine live may change when website functionality, embedded services or third-party integrations are updated.

Information about individual cookies should include, where applicable:

  • Cookie name.

  • Provider.

  • Purpose.

  • Category.

  • Duration or expiry.

  • Whether the cookie is placed by My Wine live or a third party.

The current cookie list is provided through our CookieYes cookie declaration, based on the technologies identified on the website.

This declaration should be reviewed and updated when new services or tracking technologies are introduced.

11. How to Manage or Withdraw Cookie Consent

You can manage your cookie preferences using the cookie consent controls provided on My Wine live.

You may accept or reject optional cookie categories and change your preferences later.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

Most browsers allow you to:

  • View stored cookies.

  • Delete existing cookies.

  • Block cookies from particular websites.

  • Restrict or disable cookies more generally.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies through browser settings may affect checkout functionality, account access or other essential website features.

Browser settings do not necessarily prevent all forms of tracking, so the website’s consent controls remain important.

12. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to external websites, including affiliate merchants, payment providers and other third-party services.

Once you leave My Wine live, the external website may use cookies and tracking technologies under its own policies.

We do not control the cookies placed by independent websites that you choose to visit.

We recommend reviewing their privacy and cookie information before using their services.

13. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in website functionality, third-party services, tracking technologies or applicable legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.

Where required, we will seek fresh consent before introducing new non-essential tracking purposes or making material changes to existing consent arrangements.
