Cookie Policy

1. Who we are

This website is operated by velcrwona Education (“velcrwona”, “we”, “us”). We provide educational content focused on footwear retail management training, including shoe merchandising routines, customer service communication, inventory organization, and practical sales conversations for store teams.

If you have questions about cookies or privacy, contact us at [email protected].

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. Cookies help a site remember preferences and improve basic functions such as security, page navigation, and form handling.

Cookies can be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (kept until they expire or you remove them). Cookies can also be first-party (set by this website) or third-party (set by another domain, typically a service provider).

In addition to cookies, websites may use similar technologies such as pixel tags and server-side event measurement. These tools can transmit limited technical information (such as page views or conversion events) to providers that support analytics or advertising, but only where consent is required and has been granted.

3. How we use cookies on this website

We use cookies in three categories: Essential, Analytics, and Marketing. Essential cookies are required for the site to function and are always active. Analytics and Marketing cookies are optional and are only enabled after you choose them in our cookie preferences.

You can manage your preferences at any time by using the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer. You can also remove cookies using your browser settings (see Section 7).

4. Cookie categories

4.1 Essential cookies (always on)

Essential cookies support core site functions and security. Without these cookies, the site may not work correctly. These cookies do not require consent.

• Remembering your cookie preference selection.
• Maintaining basic session continuity while you browse.
• Supporting form submission reliability and security safeguards.

4.2 Analytics cookies (optional)

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve content structure, navigation, and clarity. For example, we may learn which course pages are read most often or where users drop off before completing a registration form. We use this information to improve educational materials and site usability.

If enabled, we may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization and a retention setting aligned to standard analytics practices (typically 14 months for analytics data retention in reporting). Analytics cookies are only set when you opt in.

4.3 Marketing cookies (optional)

Marketing cookies help measure advertising performance and show more relevant messages to people who have visited the site. They can support conversion attribution (for example, understanding whether an ad click led to a registration) and audience building (for example, remarketing or lookalike audiences), where permitted by law.

If enabled, marketing cookies may be set by providers such as Google (Google Ads) and Meta (Meta Pixel). Marketing cookies are only set when you opt in.

5. Cookie table

The table below lists cookies that may be used on this site. Some cookies appear only if you consent to Analytics or Marketing. “Third-party” means the cookie is set by a provider’s domain rather than by velcrwona directly.

6. Third-party providers

Depending on your cookie preferences and how the site is configured, we may use the following third-party providers to support the site:

• Google LLC (Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager) for analytics and advertising measurement.
• Meta Platforms (Meta Pixel and related measurement tools) for advertising measurement and audience building.
• Cloudflare for content delivery and security features that may involve network-level logging and threat detection.

We do not permit these providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes. Each provider has its own privacy documentation describing how it handles data in its role as a service provider.

7. Managing cookies

You have several ways to control cookies:

• Cookie preferences panel: use the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer to review and change your choices.
• Browser settings: you can block or delete cookies using your browser settings. If you block all cookies, some parts of the site may not function properly.
• Provider controls: you can also use provider settings to manage advertising personalization and analytics.

Useful controls include: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on Google Ads Settings Meta Ad Preferences Your Online Choices (EU)

8. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or to keep it aligned with legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page and may provide a notice on the site.
