    Introduction

    WinkOffice uses cookies to improve the website experience at https://winkoffice.com. This policy is part of our broader Privacy Policy and explains cookie usage between your device and our site.

    We also use third-party services that may employ cookies, though this policy doesn't cover those services' cookie practices.

    If you prefer not to accept cookies, you should configure your browser to refuse them from winkoffice.com, understanding that some features may become unavailable.

    What is a Cookie?

    A cookie is a small data file stored on your device when visiting a website. It typically contains website information, a unique browser identifier, purpose-specific data, and the cookie's lifespan.

    Cookies enable features like remembering consent choices, applying region-specific consent rules, and supporting analytics only after consent where required.

    First-party cookies are set by the website you visit and track activity only on that site.

    Third-party cookies are set by other companies and can track you across multiple websites using the same service.

    Types of Cookies and How We Use Them

    Essential Cookies

    These are critical for core website functions including user preferences and consent management. WinkOffice uses essential cookies to enable certain website functions.

    Performance Cookies

    These track how you use the website during visits. Information is typically anonymous and aggregated across all users, helping us understand visitor patterns, diagnose problems, and improve experiences. WinkOffice uses performance cookies on its site.

    Functionality Cookies

    These support website behavior that depends on browser or region settings. WinkOffice uses a functionality cookie to store the country code supplied to our server-side application by the CDN so we can decide whether analytics consent is required before loading tracking tags.

    Targeting / Advertising Cookies

    These determine relevant promotional content based on your interests and limit ad frequency. Third-party targeting cookies can track you across multiple websites. WinkOffice uses targeting and advertising cookies on its site.

    How We Handle Consent

    If you are located in the EU, UK, or Switzerland, we default all non-essential cookies to denied until you provide consent via our cookie banner. We determine that region status from a first-party wo_geo cookie set by our server-side application using the CloudFront-Viewer-Country request header. We use Google Consent Mode v2 to ensure that our analytics and advertising tags respect your choice.

    If you accept cookies, we update your consent preferences and store your choice locally so you won't be asked again. If you decline, non-essential cookies remain blocked and we rely only on cookieless measurement signals.

    You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for our site and refreshing the page.

    Cookies and Browser Storage We Set

    We store the following in your browser:

    • wo_geo — first-party cookie containing a two-letter country code derived from the CloudFront-Viewer-Country request header during server-side rendering. Used only to determine whether consent is required before loading analytics tags. Expires after 1 year.
    • wo_consent — browser local-storage key that stores your cookie consent choice (granted or denied) until you clear site data.
