Cookie Policy
What cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators about how visitors use their site.
Cookies cannot harm your device. They do not execute programs or transmit viruses. They are simply data files stored by your browser at the request of the web server.
2. How We Use Cookies
WorldFins uses cookies in a limited and privacy-respecting manner. Our use of cookies is focused on:
- Ensuring the Site functions correctly and securely;
- Remembering your cookie consent preference so you are not asked again;
- Understanding, in aggregate, how visitors use our Site so we can improve it.
We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural tracking, or user profiling of any kind.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for the Site to function. They cannot be disabled. They are set in response to actions such as security settings and do not store any personally identifiable information.
- Functional cookies: These cookies remember choices you make (such as your cookie consent preference) and enable enhanced, personalised features. They do not track browsing activity across other websites.
- Analytics cookies: These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use our Site. We use this data to improve the Site. All data is aggregated and anonymised. These cookies are only placed with your consent.
We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies of any kind.

5. Third-Party Cookies
WorldFins does not integrate third-party advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or commercial analytics platforms (such as Google Ads or Meta Pixel) that set cookies on our behalf.
Where we load resources from third-party CDNs (such as font services or icon libraries), those providers may set their own cookies. We select providers whose privacy practices meet acceptable standards, but we encourage you to review their privacy policies independently. We do not control these cookies.

- Browser settings: All major browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings menus. Below are links to guidance for the most common browsers:
Please note: disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of the Site. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled, as they are essential for the Site to operate securely.
7. Your Consent
