Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This Cookie Policy explains how WeWake Finance uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website or use our platform. It describes what cookies are, which types we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and giving you meaningful control over your experience.
1.2 Relationship to Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how WeWake Finance collects, uses, and protects your personal data. By using the WeWake Finance platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood both documents.
1.3 Who This Applies To
This policy applies to all visitors and users of the WeWake Finance website and application, regardless of how you access our services — whether through a desktop browser, mobile browser, or the WeWake Finance app.
What Are Cookies
2.1 Definition
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website or use a web application. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how users interact with their services.
2.2 Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies including:
Local storage and session storage: browser-based storage mechanisms used to preserve session state and user preferences
Pixel tags and web beacons: small transparent images embedded in pages or emails used to track interactions
Device fingerprinting: technical characteristics of your device used to identify returning visitors
2.3 Session vs. Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period of time or until you manually delete them. Both types may be used by WeWake Finance depending on the purpose.
2.4 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by WeWake Finance. Third-party cookies are set by external services that we use to operate and improve our platform, such as analytics providers or security tools. WeWake Finance takes care to work only with trusted third-party providers and does not permit third parties to use cookies for their own advertising purposes on our platform.
Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the platform to function correctly. They enable core features such as user authentication, session management, smart account connectivity, and security enforcement. Without these cookies, the platform cannot operate as intended.
Examples of what these cookies do:
Maintain your login session so you do not need to re-authenticate on every page
Store your smart account connection state during an active session
Enable security features such as CSRF protection and session validation
Remember your cookie consent preferences
These cookies cannot be disabled without significantly impairing platform functionality.
3.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the platform to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. They are not strictly necessary for the platform to operate but significantly improve your experience.
Examples of what these cookies do:
Remember your language or region preferences
Store your display settings and interface customizations
Remember whether you have dismissed certain notifications or tutorials
Preserve your selected network or account view between sessions
3.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help WeWake Finance understand how users interact with the platform. This information is used to improve the design, performance, and content of our services. Analytics data is collected in aggregated and anonymized form where possible.
Examples of what these cookies do:
Track which pages and features are most frequently visited
Measure session duration and user flow through the platform
Identify errors, performance bottlenecks, and broken features
Understand how users discover and navigate to the platform
We use analytics tools that are configured to minimize data collection and do not allow analytics providers to use data collected on our platform for their own purposes.
3.4 Security Cookies
Security cookies are used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, protect against abuse of platform features, and support the WakeGuard risk assessment system. These cookies help us identify unusual patterns of behavior that may indicate bot activity, account compromise, or Paymaster sponsorship abuse.
Examples of what these cookies do:
Support bot detection and CAPTCHA verification flows
Track session integrity to detect account takeover attempts
Provide behavioral signals to the WakeGuard attestation system
Flag suspicious activity patterns for review
3.5 Performance Cookies
Performance cookies collect information about how the platform loads and performs on your device. This helps WeWake Finance identify and resolve technical issues, optimize page load times, and ensure a consistent experience across different devices and network conditions.
Examples of what these cookies do:
Measure page load times and rendering performance
Identify slow or failing API requests
Track error rates and exception frequencies
Monitor infrastructure performance across different geographic regions
Cookies We Do Not Use
4.1 Advertising Cookies
WeWake Finance does not use advertising or targeting cookies. We do not serve advertisements on our platform, do not participate in advertising networks, and do not allow third-party advertisers to place cookies on our platform. Your browsing behavior on WeWake Finance is never used to build advertising profiles or target you with ads on other websites.
4.2 Cross-Site Tracking
We do not use cookies or tracking technologies to follow your activity across websites that are not operated by WeWake Finance. Our data collection is limited to interactions with the WeWake Finance platform itself.
Third-Party Services
5.1 Analytics Providers
WeWake Finance may use third-party analytics services to help us understand platform usage. These services are configured to collect data in a privacy-preserving manner, with IP anonymization enabled and data retention minimized. Analytics providers are contractually prohibited from using data collected on our platform for any purpose other than providing analytics services to WeWake Finance.
5.2 Security and Infrastructure Providers
Certain security and infrastructure providers may place cookies or use similar technologies as part of the services they provide to WeWake Finance. These include services related to DDoS protection, bot detection, and content delivery. These providers are carefully selected and are required to comply with applicable data protection standards.
5.3 No Advertising Networks
WeWake Finance does not integrate with advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or retargeting platforms. No third-party advertiser has access to data collected through cookies on the WeWake Finance platform.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can update your cookie preferences at any time by accessing the Cookie Settings option in the platform footer or settings menu. Changes to your preferences will take effect immediately and will be remembered for future visits.
6.3 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being set.

6.5 Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit a Do Not Track (DNT) signal to websites. WeWake Finance respects DNT signals where technically feasible and will limit non-essential tracking for users who have enabled this setting.

Strictly necessary session cookies: deleted when you close your browser
