Provided that you have accepted the use of cookies, we will use cookies in the following categories for additional purposes. Our use of optional cookies is in addition to our use of strictly necessary cookies.
We use preference cookies to store your preferences, so they can be applied during your next visit to our website.
As part of Piwik PRO, the web analytics application we use, WFA also uses optional cookies and similar technologies for web analytics. Those cookies and technologies allow WFA to gather information about how a visitor interacts with our website. That information helps us to improve our website and provide a better user experience.
Please note that these cookies and technologies do not collect any personal information (info that identifies you personally) and that all data collected via Piwik PRO is fully anonymised and not transferred outside of the European Union.
For more information on the cookies that are used by Piwik PRO, see this overview and note that if you agree to the use of analytics cookies when you use the Website, Piwik PRO's terms govern the way your data is collected and used.
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use optional third-party cookies from external services, such as YouTube, Vimeo and Microsoft Power BI. Those cookies are placed by the third-party service and allow us to integrate their functionality into our website, such as by placing embedded videos from Vimeo or Power BI analytics on our website.
Please note that these third-party services may also use their own cookies to track user behaviour on their own websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party services to learn more about their data collection and usage practices:
As with all optional cookies, you have the option to reject these cookies, but this impacts the functionality of the Website and the features provided by these third-party services and may mean that you are unable to access certain parts of the WFA website.
If you have any other questions about our Cookie Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.
