1. Introduction

At The Word Bricks, we use cookies and similar technologies to make our website work properly, enhance your browsing experience, and better understand how visitors interact with our content.

We believe in transparency and stewardship — values rooted in our Christian faith — and we want you to clearly understand what information is collected, why, and how you can control it.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website.
They help the site remember your preferences, login details, and activity to provide a smoother, more personalized experience.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use both first-party and third-party cookies, grouped into the following categories:

a. Essential Cookies

These are required for the website to function correctly — for example, remembering what’s in your cart or keeping you logged into your account.
Without these, some parts of the site wouldn’t work properly.

b. Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — such as which pages are most popular or how long people stay on a page.
We use this data to improve usability, not to track individuals.
Example tools: Google Analytics (with IP anonymization enabled).

c. Functional Cookies

These remember your preferences (such as language or region) to create a more personalized experience when you return to our site.

d. Marketing and Social Media Cookies

These cookies help us share relevant updates or ads on platforms like Facebook or Instagram.
They also make it possible for you to share our content directly to social media.
We use them responsibly and never to manipulate or misuse data.

4. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

  • Ensure the website functions properly.

  • Save your shopping cart and login sessions.

  • Analyze website performance and improve our products.

  • Offer relevant content and social sharing options.

Our goal is to serve you better and to use technology in a way that aligns with our values of honesty and respect.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit our site, you’ll see a cookie consent banner where you can accept or reject non-essential cookies.
You can also change or withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or revisiting the banner.

Here’s how you can manage cookies on common browsers:

Please note that disabling some cookies may affect the functionality of certain features, such as checkout or account login.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by trusted third-party services we use to enhance our website — such as analytics, payment processing, and social sharing tools.
These third parties have their own privacy policies and comply with GDPR.

Examples may include:

  • Google Analytics – website performance analytics

  • Facebook Pixel – marketing analytics

  • WooCommerce – e-commerce functionality

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements.
Any updates will be posted on this page with the new “Last Updated” date.

Our goal is to ensure that your experience with us honors both your privacy and our shared values of trust, integrity, and care.
