WeLocale uses a small number of cookies and similar browser storage to keep the admin dashboard secure and to remember visitor language preferences in the widget.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They help the site remember your session, protect against attacks, and understand how visitors use the site.
These cookies are required for the site to function. They cannot be disabled. No consent is needed to set these, but we disclose them here for transparency.

WeLocale stores two values in your browser's localStorage that do not require consent under GDPR as they are strictly necessary for the interface to work:
Note for website owners using the WeLocale widget: The widget may store the visitor's selected language in localStorage on your website (not on welocale.com). This is covered by your website's own cookie/privacy policy. You should mention WeLocale as a sub-processor.
We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use our site (session recordings, heatmaps, and aggregated usage analytics), so we can improve it. The Clarity script is not loaded at all, and no analytics cookie is set, until you click "Accept" on the cookie banner - declining or ignoring the banner means Clarity never runs on your visit.

See
Microsoft's Privacy Statement and Clarity's own cookie documentation for details on what Microsoft does with this data.We run our own ad campaigns on Microsoft Advertising (Bing), and use Microsoft's UET (Universal Event Tracking) tag on our own site to measure whether those ads led to a signup. Like Clarity, this never loads, and no cookie is set, until you accept analytics cookies on the banner. We do not run any other advertising, retargeting, or social media tracking.
