Effective Date: September 28, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Wares Point uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use WaresPoint.com.

Wares Point is operated by Jeremy Womack in Guthrie, Oklahoma, United States.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with the Wares Point Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Questions about this Cookie Policy may be sent to sales@warespoint.com.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that websites place on or access through your browser or device.

Cookies may allow a website to remember information about your visit, such as:

  • Whether you are signed in
  • Your account session
  • Preferences and settings
  • Security information
  • Pages you visit
  • How you interact with the website
  • Advertising and analytics identifiers

Some cookies remain only for the duration of a browsing session. Others may remain on your device for a longer period unless they expire or you delete them.

Wares Point may also use technologies that function similarly to cookies, including:

  • Local storage
  • Pixels
  • Web beacons
  • Tags
  • Scripts
  • Device identifiers
  • Similar browser or device technologies

For simplicity, this policy refers to these technologies collectively as “cookies” where appropriate.

2. Why Wares Point Uses Cookies

Wares Point may use cookies to:

  • Keep users signed in
  • Maintain secure user sessions
  • Remember preferences
  • Protect accounts
  • Prevent fraud and abuse
  • Operate website functionality
  • Measure site traffic and performance
  • Understand how visitors use Wares Point
  • Improve articles, tools, and community features
  • Display and measure advertising
  • Attribute affiliate referrals
  • Process payments securely
  • Remember privacy and cookie choices

Some cookies are necessary for Wares Point to function properly.

Other cookies may be used for analytics, advertising, personalization, or other optional purposes.

3. Categories of Cookies

Wares Point may use the following categories of cookies.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support functions required for the website to operate.

They may be used for:

  • User authentication
  • Login sessions
  • Account security
  • Form submission
  • Fraud prevention
  • Privacy preferences
  • Load balancing
  • Essential site functionality

Because these technologies are required to provide services requested by the user or maintain website security, they may operate even when optional cookies are disabled where permitted by law.

Disabling necessary cookies through your browser may prevent parts of Wares Point from functioning correctly.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may remember choices you make while using Wares Point.

Examples may include:

  • Interface preferences
  • Display preferences
  • Previously selected settings
  • Certain account preferences

These cookies help make the website more convenient but are not necessarily required for every core feature.

Analytics Cookies

Wares Point may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use the website.

Analytics information may help Wares Point understand:

  • How many people visit the site
  • Which pages are most frequently viewed
  • How visitors navigate the site
  • What devices and browsers are used
  • Approximate geographic regions of visitors
  • How long visitors interact with content
  • Whether visitors encounter errors
  • Which features are useful

Wares Point may use Google Analytics for these purposes.

Google states that its standard Analytics implementation may collect information such as user counts, session statistics, approximate geographic information, browser information, and device information. Google Analytics can also use a first-party _ga cookie to distinguish users and sessions when analytics storage is enabled. Google Help

Analytics information is used to improve Wares Point, understand audience behavior, diagnose problems, and evaluate site performance.

4. Google Analytics

Wares Point may use Google Analytics.

Google Analytics may set or access cookies and similar technologies on your device.

Depending on Wares Point's configuration, your consent choices, and applicable law, Google Analytics may process information including:

  • Browser information
  • Device information
  • Approximate geographic information
  • Page views
  • Session activity
  • Referral information
  • Interaction events
  • Analytics identifiers

Wares Point uses this information to understand general website activity and improve the platform.

Google Analytics is not intended to receive Wares Point passwords or full payment-card information.

Where required, Wares Point may delay or limit Analytics storage until appropriate consent has been obtained.

5. Advertising Cookies

Wares Point may display advertising through Google AdSense or other advertising services.

Advertising technologies may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Serve advertisements
  • Measure ad impressions
  • Measure clicks
  • Limit how frequently an advertisement appears
  • Detect invalid traffic
  • Prevent fraud
  • Measure advertising performance
  • Select relevant advertisements
  • Personalize advertising where permitted

Google states that AdSense may use cookies for advertising relevance, campaign-performance reporting, and avoiding repeated ads. AdSense publishers are also required to disclose the use of advertising cookies. Google Help

Advertising cookies may be either first-party or third-party cookies.

Third-party advertising cookies may be associated with domains operated by Google or other advertising technology providers rather than WaresPoint.com.

6. Personalized Advertising

Depending on your location, Wares Point's advertising settings, your consent choices, and applicable law, advertisements may be personalized.

Personalized advertising may use information associated with previous activity to select ads considered more relevant to a visitor.

Google explains that advertising cookies may be used to help select advertising based on prior visits to websites and other online activity. Google Help

Where required by applicable law, Wares Point will seek appropriate consent before allowing technologies used for personalized advertising.

Users may also be able to control personalized advertising through privacy settings provided by Google or other advertising providers.

7. Non-Personalized and Limited Advertising

Choosing not to receive personalized advertising does not necessarily mean that no advertising technologies will be used.

Non-personalized or limited advertising may still rely on information necessary to:

  • Deliver an advertisement
  • Prevent fraud
  • Limit repeated advertising
  • Measure aggregate performance
  • Maintain advertising security

Google states that limited advertising may still involve technologies required to deliver ads and, depending on publisher settings, may use storage for invalid-traffic detection and fraud prevention. Google Help

8. Stripe and Payment Cookies

Wares Point uses Stripe to process payments.

When you purchase a Wares Point product or service, Stripe may use cookies and similar technologies in connection with payment processing.

These technologies may support:

  • Payment security
  • Fraud detection
  • Risk assessment
  • Authentication
  • Transaction processing
  • Prevention of unauthorized transactions
  • Payment-service functionality

Stripe states that its technologies may be used to ensure services function correctly and to prevent and detect fraud. Stripe also documents payment-related cookies used for fraud prevention. Stripe

Stripe's own privacy practices apply to information Stripe processes through its services.

Wares Point does not use cookies to store your complete payment-card number.

9. Affiliate Cookies

Wares Point may participate in affiliate programs.

When you click an affiliate link, the merchant, affiliate network, or another service provider may use cookies or referral identifiers to determine that you arrived from Wares Point.

These technologies may be used to:

  • Attribute a referral
  • Determine whether a purchase qualifies for a commission
  • Measure affiliate campaign performance
  • Prevent fraudulent referrals

Affiliate cookies are generally controlled by the applicable affiliate network or merchant.

Cookie duration and functionality may vary between affiliate programs.

Wares Point will disclose affiliate relationships where appropriate.

10. Account and Community Cookies

Wares Point offers user accounts and community features.

Cookies may be used to:

  • Keep you logged in
  • Associate requests with your authenticated session
  • Protect forms from misuse
  • Maintain account security
  • Remember certain preferences
  • Support forum and community functionality

Deleting or blocking these cookies may cause you to be signed out or may prevent certain account features from working correctly.

11. Consent and Privacy Preferences

Depending on your location, Wares Point may present a cookie or privacy-consent interface.

Where applicable, you may be given choices concerning categories such as:

  • Analytics
  • Advertising
  • Personalized advertising
  • Other optional technologies

Strictly necessary technologies may remain active where legally permitted because they are required to operate or secure the service.

Wares Point may store your privacy selection so that the site can remember your choice.

You may be asked to renew your choice if:

  • Your consent expires
  • Wares Point materially changes its technologies
  • Applicable legal requirements change
  • Your stored preferences are no longer available

12. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

  • View stored cookies
  • Delete individual cookies
  • Delete all cookies
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Block all cookies
  • Clear browsing data
  • Configure site-specific permissions

Browser controls vary by software and device.

Blocking all cookies may prevent portions of Wares Point from operating correctly, particularly login, account, security, and preference features.

13. Advertising Choices

Users may have additional controls for advertising technologies through the advertising provider.

Google provides controls for personalized advertising through its advertising settings.

Google's AdSense requirements specifically provide that users may opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ads Settings. Google Help

Browser privacy settings, advertising-industry opt-out systems, and device-level settings may also provide additional controls.

14. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” signal.

There is not a universally implemented technical standard requiring every website or service provider to respond to browser Do Not Track signals in the same way.

Where Wares Point is required by applicable law to recognize a legally valid privacy preference signal, Wares Point will take reasonable steps to honor that requirement.

15. Global Privacy Control and Similar Signals

Certain jurisdictions may recognize browser-based privacy preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as legally valid opt-out requests for particular types of processing.

Where required by applicable law and technically applicable to Wares Point's services, Wares Point will endeavor to recognize and honor supported privacy preference signals.

Such signals do not necessarily disable cookies that are strictly necessary for security, login, fraud prevention, or other essential website functions.

16. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

Wares Point does not sell personal information for monetary compensation.

Wares Point does not provide its member database, account information, or email lists to unrelated businesses for their independent direct-marketing purposes.

However, certain privacy laws use terms such as “sell” or “share” more broadly than ordinary everyday usage.

For example, the use of advertising technologies for cross-context behavioral advertising may be treated as “sharing” under certain privacy laws even where no customer list is sold and Wares Point does not receive payment specifically for personal information.

Where applicable law grants users a right to opt out of such activity, Wares Point will provide or honor the legally required privacy choices.

17. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies appearing through Wares Point may be operated by third parties.

These may include providers involved in:

  • Analytics
  • Advertising
  • Payments
  • Affiliate attribution
  • Security
  • Embedded services
  • Future Wares Point tools

Third-party providers determine their own cookie names, expiration periods, and processing practices.

Their technologies may change independently of Wares Point.

Users should review the privacy information provided by the applicable service provider for additional information about its practices.

18. Cookie Duration

Cookies may be either session-based or persistent.

Session Cookies

Session cookies typically expire when you close your browser or when a session ends.

They may be used for temporary website functionality, authentication, or security.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until manually deleted.

They may be used to:

  • Remember preferences
  • Maintain certain account states
  • Measure returning visits
  • Support analytics
  • Support advertising
  • Remember privacy choices

The exact lifetime of a cookie may vary according to its purpose and the provider that operates it.

19. Local Storage and Similar Technologies

Wares Point and its service providers may use browser storage or similar technologies in addition to traditional cookies.

These technologies may store information on a device for purposes such as:

  • Preferences
  • Session information
  • Privacy choices
  • Advertising functionality
  • Fraud prevention
  • Security
  • Performance

Clearing browser cookies does not always clear every form of local browser storage.

Browser privacy controls may provide separate options for clearing site data.

20. Security Technologies

Wares Point and its providers may use cookies, identifiers, and related signals to protect the site and its users.

These technologies may help:

  • Identify suspicious requests
  • Prevent account takeover
  • Detect automated abuse
  • Detect payment fraud
  • Limit spam
  • Protect forms
  • Investigate security incidents

Security-related technologies may be necessary even where optional analytics or advertising technologies have been declined.

  • Adds payment features
  • Adds AI-powered features
  • Adds new community functionality
