What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the site remember information about your visit — for example, whether you have already seen a notice, or which language you prefer.
Cookies do not contain personal details such as your name or financial information, and they cannot run programmes on your device. The Withaya website uses cookies to function correctly and to understand how visitors use the site, so we can improve it over time.
Some cookies are placed by Withaya directly; others are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. You have control over which optional cookies are active.
