Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the website owner.

This Cookie Policy explains how World Wide Services Sp. z o.o. ("WWS", "we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at worldwideservice.eu.

This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides detailed information about how we process personal data.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Essential website functionality. To ensure our website works correctly — including page navigation, form submissions, security features, and language preferences.

Analytics and performance. To understand how visitors interact with our website, which pages are most popular, and how we can improve the user experience. These cookies are only set with your explicit consent.

Security. To protect our website and users from spam, bots, and fraudulent activity.

We do not use cookies for advertising, profiling, or selling data to third parties.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They cannot be disabled. They do not store personally identifiable information.

• Cookie consent preference — Stores your cookie consent choice in localStorage. No expiry (persistent until cleared). First-party.
• Locale / language preference — Remembers your selected language (en, fr, uk, ar, tl). Session-based. First-party.
• Cloudflare Turnstile — Sets temporary cookies for bot detection on our contact form. These are security cookies set by Cloudflare and are necessary to prevent spam. Session-based. Third-party (Cloudflare).
• Supabase Auth — If you use our client or agent portal, authentication cookies maintain your login session. These are strictly necessary for portal functionality. Expiry varies. First-party (via Supabase).

Analytics Cookies (Consent Required)

These cookies help us understand website traffic and user behaviour in aggregated, anonymous form. They are loaded only after you explicitly consent via our cookie banner.

• _ga — Google Analytics. Distinguishes unique users. Expiry: 2 years. Third-party (Google).
• _ga_[ID] — Google Analytics (GA4). Maintains session state. Expiry: 2 years. Third-party (Google).

If you decline analytics cookies, no Google Analytics cookies are set. If you withdraw consent, analytics cookies are automatically removed from your browser.

Some cookies are set by third-party services embedded on our website:

• Google Analytics (GA4) — analytics.google.com — Only loaded with consent. Used for anonymous traffic analysis.
• Cloudflare Turnstile — cloudflare.com — Bot detection on forms. Strictly necessary.
• Vercel Analytics — vercel.com — Privacy-friendly web analytics. Does not use cookies; collects anonymous page view data.
• Trustindex / Google Reviews widget — trustindex.io — May set cookies when the Google Reviews section loads. Loaded on scroll (lazy).

We have no control over third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective third-party privacy policies for more information on their cookie practices.

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies.

Changing your preferences: You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking "Manage Cookies" in our website footer. Your updated preference takes effect immediately.

Browser settings: You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View what cookies are stored on your device
• Delete individual or all cookies
• Block cookies from specific or all websites
• Set preferences for first-party vs third-party cookies

Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Note: Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent our website from functioning correctly. We recommend only blocking analytics cookies if you do not wish to be tracked.

In addition to cookies, we use browser localStorage to store:

• Cookie consent preference — Your consent choice (accepted/declined) so we remember it on future visits.
• Push notification subscription — If you opt into web push notifications, a subscription token is stored. This is not personally identifiable.

localStorage data persists until you clear your browser data or we programmatically remove it. It is not transmitted to our servers with each request (unlike cookies).

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, but we respect your cookie consent preferences as described in this Policy.

If you do not consent to analytics cookies via our cookie banner, no tracking occurs regardless of your DNT setting.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in technology, or changes in applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent changes were made.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
