Cookie Policy
How we use cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how finworlders ("we", "us", or "our") uses them on finworlders.com, and your rights and choices regarding cookie use. This Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide basic analytics to website operators.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They cannot access other files on your device. Each cookie is typically limited to the website that created it.
In addition to traditional cookies, similar technologies may be used, including:
- Local Storage: A browser feature that stores data locally on your device, without an expiry date, until cleared manually.
- Session Storage: Like local storage, but data is cleared when your browser session ends.
- Web Beacons: Small, invisible image files that can confirm when content has been accessed.
In this Policy, the term "cookies" refers to all of these technologies collectively, unless stated otherwise.
2. How We Use Cookies
finworlders uses cookies in a limited and transparent manner. We use cookies only to:
- Remember your cookie consent decision so we do not show you the consent banner on every page visit.
- Enable core website functionality that requires session state.
- Collect anonymised, aggregated analytics data to understand how visitors interact with the Website (e.g., which pages are visited most, how long sessions last, geographic region at country level).
We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural tracking, cross-site tracking, or any commercial profiling purpose.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your cookie preferences. Without these cookies, certain features of the Website may not work correctly.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
If you accept cookies, we may use analytics cookies to collect anonymised data about how visitors use the Website. This helps us understand which content is most useful and improve the Website over time. No personal data is collected through these cookies, and data is not linked to any individual.
If you decline cookies, analytics cookies will not be set and no usage data will be collected beyond what is strictly necessary to serve the Website.
3.3 Functionality Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality such as remembering UI preferences (e.g., active filters or sort order on the salary data table). They do not track you across other websites.
4. Third-Party Cookies
The Website loads certain resources from trusted third-party providers to deliver content and functionality. These providers may set their own cookies on your device:
- Google Fonts: We load web fonts via Google Fonts. Google may set cookies or use browser storage as part of this service. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for details.
- Phosphor Icons (unpkg CDN): We load icon assets via the unpkg CDN. This provider may log access requests but does not typically set user-identifying cookies.
- Unsplash: Some images on the Website are served directly from Unsplash's servers. Unsplash may set cookies or log requests. Refer to Unsplash's Privacy Policy for details.
We are not responsible for the cookies or tracking practices of third-party services. We encourage you to review their respective privacy and cookie policies.
5. Your Cookie Choices
You have several options for managing cookies:
5.1 Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit the Website, a cookie consent banner will be displayed. You can choose to:
- Accept: All cookies described in this Policy will be enabled, including analytics and functionality cookies.
- Decline: Only strictly necessary cookies will be used. Analytics and non-essential functionality cookies will not be set.
Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage under the key fw_cookies. You can revoke or change your preference at any time by clearing this key from your browser's local storage.
5.2 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View and delete existing cookies.
- Block cookies from specific or all websites.
- Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being placed.
Please note that blocking all cookies may impair certain Website functionality. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions:
5.3 Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. We respect DNT signals where technically feasible and will limit non-essential cookie use accordingly.
6. Data Retention
Cookies and local storage data are retained for the durations specified in the tables above. Session-only cookies are deleted when you close your browser. You may clear any stored data at any time through your browser's developer tools or settings.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or applicable regulations. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when changes are made. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.
