Cookie Policy

We use cookies and similar tools across our websites to improve their performance and enhance your User experience. This Policy describes how we do that. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with this entire Policy. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning as set forth in the WikiTranslate Terms of Use Agreement.

What are cookies?[edit]

Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a site or page. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognize your device the next time you visit. Web beacons or other similar files can also do the same thing. We use the term “cookies” in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.

There are many functions cookies serve. For example, they can help us to remember your username and preferences, analyse how well our website is performing, or even allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you.

Certain cookies contain personal information – for example, if you click to “remember me” when logging in, a cookie will store your username. Most cookies won’t collect information that identifies you, and will instead collect more general information such as how Users arrive at and use our website, or a User’s general location.

What sort of cookies does WikiTranslate use?[edit]

Performance Related. We may use cookies that are useful in order to assess the performance of the WikiTranslate services, including as part of our analytic practices or otherwise to improve the content, products, or services offered through WikiTranslate. This allows us to provide a high quality experience by customising our offering and quickly identifying and fixing any issues that arise. For example, we might use performance cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages.
