Cookie Policy
What is a cookie?
Cookies are tiny files that can be placed on your computer or mobile device and that uniquely (but anonymously) identify your browser or device. They cannot search your computer, cannot introduce viruses, and contain no personally identifiable information about you — in short, there is nothing to worry about.
What are cookies used for?
Cookies are used by websites or services to recognise whether your computer or device has previously visited that site or service. Cookies on your device may then be used to remember your preferences (such as language), help you navigate between pages efficiently and, generally speaking, improve your browsing experience.
Cookies are also used by website publishers to understand how their site or service is used. Services such as Google Analytics use cookies to provide anonymous, aggregated data such as the time users spend on the site, the number of pages they visited and in what order, and so on.
What types of cookies does worldaidocumentaryfestival.com use?
There are generally four categories of cookies: “Strictly Necessary”, “Performance”, “Functionality” and “Targeting”.
worldaidocumentaryfestival.com uses only two of these types:
| Cookie type | Purpose | Active |
|---|---|---|
| ? Strictly Necessary | Essential for the website to function | ✅ |
| ? Performance | Site visit analysis and improvement (e.g. Google Analytics) | ✅ |
| ? Functionality | Advanced preference storage | ❌ |
| ? Targeting / Advertising | Behavioural advertising | ❌ |
? We do not use advertising cookies.
How long do cookies stay on my device?
The retention period varies by cookie: most expire at the end of your browsing session, while others persist longer. Advertising cookies — which we do not use — typically last up to approximately one month.
First-party and third-party cookies
First-party cookies belong to worldaidocumentaryfestival.com. Third-party cookies are placed on your device by an external provider acting on our behalf (e.g. Stripe, our payment solution, uses cookies to ensure the checkout process works correctly).
How to control and delete cookies?
You can manage your cookies directly through your browser settings.
