The use of “cookies”
While visiting the website https://wfa.org/ ‘first party cookies’ and ‘third party cookies’ may be placed on your computer’s hard drive as decided by WFA.
A cookie is a text file that is placed in the browser of the computer or mobile device by the server of a website when the website is consulted. Cookies cannot be used to identify people, only machines.
‘First party cookies’ are technical cookies that are used by the website itself and that aim to make the site function optimally. For example, the settings that the user has made during previous visits to the site, or a pre-filled form with data that the user has filled in during previous visits. The user of the website must first give active and informed consent for these cookies. This can be done via a bar at the bottom of the website, with a reference to this cookie policy, which does not, however, prevent further surfing on the website.
‘Third party cookies’ are cookies that do not originate from the website itself, but come from third parties, e.g. an existing marketing or advertising plug-in, such as cookies from META (Facebook), Microsoft (LinkedIn), X (Twitter) or Google Analytics, in which the information generated by the cookies about the use of the website (including the IP address) is transferred to Google, META, Microsoft and X (Twitter) and stored on their servers. For such cookies, the site visitor must also first give his active and informed consent. This can again be done via a bar at the bottom or top of the website, with reference to this cookie policy, which does not, however, prevent further surfing on the website.
