Cookie Policy
Effective Date: September 26, 2026

1. About This Policy
LifeWise is operated by Hope Channel Philippines.
This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website, why we use them, and how you can manage your choices.
Please read this policy together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more broadly.
For questions, contact privacy@lifewise.asia.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information, maintain login sessions, and understand how visitors use their services.
Similar technologies, such as browser local storage, can also store information on your device. Where relevant, this policy covers those technologies too.
Cookies may be:
Session cookies, which generally expire when your browsing session ends.
Persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them.
First-party cookies, set for the website you visit.
Third-party cookies, set by another domain through services embedded in that website.
3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies support functions necessary to provide the services you request, such as:
Keeping you signed in.
Maintaining your learning session.
Protecting forms and accounts against misuse.
Remembering your cookie consent choices.
These cookies are not used for optional audience measurement. They remain enabled through our cookie controls because the relevant services depend on them.
You can block cookies through your browser, but doing so may prevent sign-in or other essential features from working.
The lifetime of an essential cookie depends on its function: session cookies support the current session, while persistent cookies may remember a requested setting or your consent choices.
4. Google Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with LifeWise and to improve our content and website experience.
Analytics may measure page visits, navigation, interactions, browser and device characteristics, referral sources, and approximate location. Cookie identifiers can help distinguish visits and sessions; this information is not necessarily anonymous simply because it does not include your name.
Google Analytics generally uses the following first-party cookies:
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Documented default expiration |
|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors using a browser identifier. | 2 years |
_ga_ | Google Analytics | Maintains session state for the relevant Analytics property. | 2 years |
The suffix in the second cookie name varies by configuration. Actual cookie lifetimes may differ because of our settings, browser restrictions, or renewal on later visits.
Cookie expiry on your device is separate from the retention of information already collected by Google Analytics. Our Privacy Policy describes our analytics data-retention approach.

5. Your Consent Choices
Our cookie controls let you:
Accept All: Allow essential and optional cookies described in the controls.
Reject Optional: Continue with essential cookies only.
Cookie Settings: Choose which optional categories to allow.
Under this policy, optional Google Analytics tracking remains disabled until you choose to enable it. Simply browsing, scrolling, or closing the notice does not count as consent.
You can change or withdraw your choice through Cookie Settings in the website footer.
Rejecting optional analytics does not prevent you from registering, enrolling in free courses, or using core learning features.
Consent choices generally apply to the browser and device where you make them. You may need to choose again after clearing cookies or using another browser or device.
6. Embedded Content and External Websites
Where a course includes an embedded video or another external service, its provider may use cookies or similar technologies when the content loads or you interact with it.
We will identify optional embedded services through the relevant consent controls before enabling tracking that requires consent. Declining an optional service may prevent that particular embedded feature from loading.
If you follow a link to another website, that website’s cookie and privacy policies apply.
7. Other Ways to Manage Cookies
Most browsers allow you to inspect, block, or delete cookies through their privacy settings.
Deleting cookies may sign you out or remove saved preferences. Blocking all cookies may affect essential website functions.
Google also provides a Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for supported browsers. This tool does not block every form of website logging or tracking by other services.
Private or incognito browsing does not, by itself, prevent websites or analytics providers from receiving information during your visit.
Withdrawing consent stops future optional tracking covered by that choice. It does not automatically erase information already collected. For deletion requests or other privacy rights, email privacy@lifewise.asia.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when our cookies, service providers, or practices change.
We will update the effective date and seek new consent where required before using optional technologies for materially different purposes.
