Cookie Policy

Last Updated: August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Yonglife (“we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website yonglife.shop (the “Site”). It forms part of our commitment to transparency and your privacy. For broader data practices, please read our Privacy Policy.

We are CHONGDA LIMITED, trading as Yonglife, based at FLAT/RM 511 5/F MING SANG INDUSTRIAL BUILDING, 19-21 HING YIP ST, KWUNTONG, KL,HK. If you have questions after reading this, email us at hello@yonglife.shop.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer or mobile device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function properly, work more efficiently, and provide information to the site owners.

Cookies may be first-party (set by our own domain) or third-party (set by another domain, such as Google or payment services we use). They can be session cookies (temporary and deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remaining on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them).

In this policy, the term “cookies” also includes similar technologies like pixels, local storage, and scripts, which serve comparable purposes.

2. WHY WE USE COOKIES

We use cookies for a few simple reasons:

– To keep the Site functioning and secure (e.g., maintaining your shopping cart).
– To understand how visitors discover and use our Site, so we can improve it.
– To occasionally remember your preferences, such as your cookie consent choices.
– To provide a smoother experience if you return.

We do not use cookies to build detailed personal profiles, sell your browsing data, or run intrusive advertising networks. We keep things minimal — because that’s how we like it.

3. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

We classify the cookies on our Site into the following categories. You may see these labels on our cookie consent banner (if enabled).

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function. They cannot be turned off in our systems because the Site simply wouldn’t work without them. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as adding a product to your cart, logging in, or filling in a form.

Examples:

– woocommerce_cart_hash – remembers what’s in your shopping cart.
– woocommerce_items_in_cart – keeps your cart active across pages.
– wp_woocommerce_session_* – a session cookie that links you to your cart and order.
– cookieconsent_ – stores your cookie preference settings (if you use a consent banner).
– wordpress_sec_ – used for logged-in user sessions and security.

These are typically session cookies and expire when you close your browser (or within 24–48 hours for cart persistence). They do not collect information that could be used for marketing.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the Site’s performance. They help us answer questions like: which tools are people most interested in? Do visitors read our journal? Where do they come from?

All information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous. If any individual data is collected, we use it only to understand broad patterns — never to identify you personally.

Third-party service we use:

Google Analytics 4 – sets cookies such as _ga, _ga_<container-id>, _gid, _gat. These cookies track how you use the Site, including pages visited, time on site, and your approximate location (via IP address, which is anonymized). We have configured Google Analytics to minimize data collection, including using IP anonymization and limiting data sharing with Google.

Lifespan: Most Google Analytics cookies persist for up to 2 years. The _gid cookie lasts 24 hours. Google may retain aggregated data according to its own policies.

Opt-out: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. See Section 5 for more details.

3.3 Functionality Cookies

These cookies enable the Site to remember choices you make, such as your language preference or the region you are in. They are not strictly required, but they make your experience nicer.

Examples:

– wp-wpml_current_language – if you use a multilingual plugin, this remembers your preferred language.
– currency_cookie – if your store supports multiple currencies, it remembers your selected currency.

These may be first-party persistent cookies, typically lasting a few days to a year.

3.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies

We do not currently run retargeting ad campaigns or use pixels from social media advertising platforms (e.g., Facebook Pixel, Google Ads remarketing). If this ever changes, we will update this policy and ask for your explicit consent before any such cookies are placed.

The only marketing-related tracking we might use would be email campaign performance (e.g., knowing whether you opened a newsletter), but that is handled through our email service provider and does not place cookies on our Site.

5. HOW TO MANAGE AND DISABLE COOKIES

You control cookies. Here are the main ways to manage them:

5.1 Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to see what cookies are stored on your device and delete them individually or in bulk. You can also block all cookies or just third-party cookies. Check your browser’s “Help” section or follow the links below for specific guides:

– Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
– Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
– Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
– Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Important: If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of our Site (like the shopping cart or checkout) may not work correctly.

5.2 Cookie Consent Banner

If our Site displays a cookie consent banner when you first visit, you can use it to accept or decline non-essential cookie categories (e.g., Analytics). You can usually change your preferences later by clicking a “Cookie Settings” link at the bottom of the page.

5.3 Third-Party Opt-out Tools

To specifically disable Google Analytics tracking across all websites, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You can also explore broader opt-out tools like the Network Advertising Initiative at https://optout.networkadvertising.org or the Digital Advertising Alliance’s https://optout.aboutads.info, though these are more relevant for advertising cookies (which we don’t currently use).

6. COOKIES AND PERSONAL DATA

Some cookies may collect data that could be considered personal data (such as an IP address). For details on how we handle personal data in general, including your rights regarding access, correction, deletion, and data transfer, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

We treat cookie data with the same care as any other personal information. We do not merge analytics cookie data with your order or account details in a way that identifies you personally without your explicit consent.

7. UPDATES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our cookie usage, the Site’s technology, or legal requirements. The “Last Updated” date at the top will indicate when the latest changes were made. We will post the revised version on this page. If we plan to use cookies in a materially different way, we will seek your prior consent where required.
