What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, meetwillie.com) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (for example, advertising, interactive content, and data analytics).

Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to improve the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, data analytics, and other purposes.

The cookies we use

Here is a more detailed list of the specific cookies we use on meetwillie.com:

1. Necessary cookies — These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with the services available on our website and to use some of its features, such as security.

2. Advertising cookies — These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions such as preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing and ensuring ads are properly displayed for advertisers.

3. Analytics cookies — These cookies collect information that is used to help us understand how our website is used, the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, or to help us customize our website for you.

Third-party services

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services such as Google and Cloudflare) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. We recommend you review their privacy policies to understand how they use your data.
