1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect personal data. By continuing to use our website after being presented with our cookie consent banner, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

Powerprstrength is committed to transparency regarding the technologies we use to enhance your browsing experience, analyse website performance, and deliver relevant content. We provide clear choices about non-essential cookies and respect your decisions.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to website owners.

Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded in the website (third-party cookies). They can remain on your device for the duration of your browsing session (session cookies) or for a defined period after you leave the site (persistent cookies).

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixel tags, and web beacons. Where this policy refers to cookies, it encompasses these related technologies unless otherwise stated.

4. Categories of Cookies We Use

4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences or filling in forms. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under GDPR because they are essential for providing the service you have requested.

Examples of strictly necessary cookies on our website:

  • Cookie consent storage: Stores your cookie preference choices in local storage so the consent banner does not reappear on every visit. Duration: until cleared by user.
  • Session management: Maintains basic session state for form interactions. Duration: session.
  • Security cookies: Help protect against cross-site request forgery and other security threats. Duration: session.

4.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously or in aggregated form. These cookies allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources, and understand which pages are most popular. Analytics cookies are only activated if you provide consent through our cookie banner or cookie settings panel.

Information collected may include:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Navigation paths through the website
  • Approximate geographic region based on anonymised IP address
  • Device type, browser, and operating system
  • Referring website or search terms

Analytics data is retained for a maximum of 26 months before being automatically deleted or aggregated beyond individual identification.

4.3 Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies may be set through our site by advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other sites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device. Marketing cookies are only activated with your explicit consent.

If enabled, marketing cookies may be used to:

  • Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
  • Deliver personalised content recommendations
  • Limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement
  • Understand user engagement with promotional materials

We do not share personally identifiable information with advertising partners without your explicit consent.

5. Legal Basis for Cookie Usage

Our use of cookies is governed by the following legal frameworks:

  • GDPR (EU): Non-essential cookies require your prior informed consent under Article 6(1)(a). Strictly necessary cookies are processed under legitimate interest or contractual necessity.
  • ePrivacy Directive: Requires explicit consent before storing or accessing information on a user's device, except for strictly necessary cookies.
  • New Zealand Privacy Act 2020: Governs the collection of personal information through cookies where individuals can be identified.
  • PECR (UK): Similar consent requirements apply for UK visitors.

6. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies on our website:

6.1 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the screen offering three choices:

  • Accept All: Enables all cookie categories including analytics and marketing.
  • Reject: Disables all non-essential cookies. Only strictly necessary cookies remain active.
  • Cookie Settings: Opens a detailed panel where you can toggle individual cookie categories.

6.2 Changing Preferences Later

You can update your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for our website and revisiting the site, which will display the consent banner again. Alternatively, contact us at admin@powerprstrength.world and we will provide instructions for resetting your preferences.

  • View cookies stored on your device and delete them individually
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Block all cookies from specific websites
  • Block all cookies entirely
  • Delete all cookies when you close your browser

Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our website and other sites you visit. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through our consent mechanism as they are required for basic operation.

7. Third-Party Cookies

  • Analytics service providers (activated only with consent)
  • Content delivery networks for font and icon libraries
  • Payment processors for educational product purchases

We review third-party cookie practices regularly and update this policy when our service providers change.

  • Session cookies: Deleted automatically when you close your browser.
  • Analytics cookies: Maximum duration of 26 months from the date of collection.
  • Marketing cookies: Maximum duration of 13 months from the date of collection.

10. Security Measures

We implement security measures to protect data collected through cookies, including HTTPS encryption for all data transmission, secure cookie flags where applicable, and regular security assessments of our website infrastructure. Cookie consent preferences are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers unless aggregated analytics data is collected with your consent.

11. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our cookie practices. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
