This policy explains how Wintino review portal (wintino.com.pl) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our site. We'll cover what cookies are, which ones we set, what third parties might track, and how you can turn them off if you prefer. Last updated: 22 August 2026.
What cookies are, in plain terms
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device when you visit. It lets the site remember things about you — your language preference, whether you've seen a particular notice, or how you navigate between pages. Some cookies disappear when you close your browser (session cookies); others stick around until they expire or you delete them (persistent cookies).
Cookies don't give us access to your device or your files. They're identifiers, not executables.
What is stored and for how long
We use three categories of cookies on this portal:
| Category | Purpose | Duration | Requires consent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Keep the site functional — remember your cookie banner choice, maintain session state | Session or up to 1 year | No (essential operation) |
| Analytics | Count visits, track which pages people read, measure bounce rates | Up to 2 years | Yes |
| Marketing | Deliver relevant ads, measure campaign performance | Up to 13 months | Yes |
Necessary cookies are exempt from the consent requirement under UK data-protection rules — they're the ones that let the site work at all. Everything else needs your agreement before we set it.
Necessary cookies
These keep the site usable. One remembers that you've accepted (or declined) our cookie banner, so we don't show it every time you load a page. Another maintains your session if you interact with a contact form. We don't ask permission for these because the site wouldn't function properly without them.
Analytics cookies
We use analytics tools to understand how people use this portal — which articles get read, where visitors arrive from, how long they stay. The data is aggregated; we're counting page views and tracking patterns, not identifying individuals. You can decline these through the banner or your browser settings without affecting your ability to read our content.
Marketing and advertising cookies
These help us deliver ads that might actually interest you and measure whether a campaign is working. If you've declined marketing cookies, you'll still see ads — they'll just be generic rather than tailored to your browsing history. Declining them doesn't stop the ads, it stops the personalisation.
Embedded third parties
Some content on this site is hosted elsewhere and pulled in when you load a page. YouTube videos, for instance, are embedded players — the video lives on YouTube's servers, not ours, and YouTube may set cookies when the player loads. We don't control what those third parties track or store; their own privacy policies apply.
Common third-party embeds you might encounter here: video players, social-media share buttons, analytics platforms. Each of them operates under its own terms, separate from ours.
Declining without breaking the site
You can refuse non-essential cookies through the banner that appears when you first visit, or change your mind later by adjusting your browser settings. Here's how to manage cookies in the four most common browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or clear cookies from specific sites.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Choose between standard, strict, or custom tracking protection.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy. Tick "Block all cookies" to refuse everything, or "Prevent cross-site tracking" to allow first-party cookies and block third-party ones.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. Block all, allow all, or block third-party cookies.
Blocking all cookies will stop some features from working — you might lose your language preference, or the site might forget you've already dismissed a notice. Necessary cookies are the only ones we'd argue are worth keeping; the rest are optional.
Updates to this policy
We'll update this document whenever we add a new tracking tool, change how we handle analytics, or adjust which cookies we set. The date at the top tells you when it was last revised. Substantive changes — adding a new category of cookie, for instance — will be flagged in a site notice so you're not caught off guard.
