Last Updated: August 2026
At fortheworld OÜ, we use cookies and similar technologies to operate, secure, and improve our digital services.
We believe tracking should have a purpose.
We don't believe that visiting a website should automatically mean being followed around the internet.
Our approach is simple:
Use what is necessary. Explain what is used. Give people appropriate choices.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files or pieces of information that a website or service can store on your device.
They can be used for different purposes, such as:
Keeping you signed in
Remembering preferences
Maintaining secure sessions
Supporting bookings
Understanding how a service is being used
Improving performance
Supporting certain functionality
Not every service we operate uses the same cookies.
The cookies and similar technologies used depend on the particular website, platform, service, and features you are using.
2. What Are Similar Technologies?
Cookies are not the only technology that can perform similar functions.
Depending on the service, we may also use technologies such as:
Local storage
Session storage
Authentication tokens
Tracking pixels
Web beacons
Similar browser or device technologies
For simplicity, this policy refers to these collectively as cookies and similar technologies where appropriate.
3. Types of Cookies We May Use
The cookies used by a particular service may generally fall into the following categories.
Essential Cookies
These are required for a service to function correctly.
They may support:
Secure authentication
Session management
Navigation
Security
Account access
Booking functionality
Load balancing
Fraud or abuse prevention
Other core functionality
Because these technologies are necessary for the requested service, they generally cannot be disabled through a normal cookie preference mechanism without affecting functionality.
Functional Cookies
These remember choices or preferences you make.
For example:
Language
Region
Time zone
Interface preferences
Other service settings
Functional technologies help make the service more convenient without requiring you to repeat the same choices.
Analytics & Performance Technologies
Where used, analytics or performance technologies may help us understand how services are used and whether they are working as expected.
This may include information such as:
Which pages or features are used
How users navigate a service
Performance problems
Errors
General usage patterns
We aim to use such information to improve services rather than for unnecessary individual tracking.
Where consent is legally required for a particular analytics technology, it will only be used after the appropriate consent has been obtained.
Third-Party Technologies
Some services may integrate with third-party providers.
These providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies when their services are used.
Examples can include providers involved in:
Authentication
Payments
Scheduling
Embedded content
Analytics
Communication
Other functionality
Third-party providers operate according to their own policies and may process information independently from fortheworld OÜ.
Where relevant, you should review the privacy and cookie information provided by the third-party provider.
4. Google & Authentication Technologies
Some of our services may allow you to authenticate using external identity providers or connect external services.
For example, Google authentication or Google-powered functionality may involve technologies operated by Google.
The use of these technologies depends on the particular service and functionality involved.
Google may process information in accordance with its own privacy policies and terms.
If you connect a Google account to a service, you can generally manage or revoke the relevant account permissions through your Google Account settings.
Cookie use associated with authentication or connected services may be necessary for the requested functionality.
5. We Don't Use Cookies for Advertising Surveillance
We do not use our own cookies to sell advertising profiles about you.
We do not intentionally use cookies to follow you across unrelated websites for advertising purposes.
We believe a website should provide a service rather than quietly turn its visitors into a product.
Where third-party technologies are present, they may have independent data practices governed by their own policies.
6. Cookies & Login Sessions
Some services require cookies or similar technologies to maintain a secure session.
For example, when you log in, the service may need to remember that your browser has successfully authenticated.
Without these technologies, you may be repeatedly asked to authenticate or certain protected functionality may not work.
Authentication and session technologies may therefore be essential to the service.
7. Cookies & Booking Services
Services that provide scheduling or booking functionality may use cookies or similar technologies to:
Maintain your session
Remember booking-related information
Protect against abuse
Maintain the booking workflow
Support secure access
The exact technologies depend on the booking service being used.
8. Your Choices
Depending on the technology and applicable law, you may have several choices.
Browser Settings
Most modern browsers allow you to:
Block cookies
Delete existing cookies
Block third-party cookies
Allow cookies only for certain websites
Delete cookies when closing the browser
The exact controls depend on your browser.
Service Preferences
If a service provides cookie or privacy controls, you can use them to manage optional technologies.
Device Settings
Some mobile and desktop operating systems provide additional controls for tracking and privacy.
Please note that disabling certain technologies can affect how a service works.
For example, disabling essential cookies may prevent:
Login
Secure sessions
Booking functionality
Account features
Other core functionality
from working correctly.
9. Essential vs Optional Technologies
Not every cookie requires the same legal treatment.
Some technologies are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested.
Others may require your consent depending on:
Their purpose
The information they process
The jurisdiction
Applicable privacy and electronic-communications laws
We aim to distinguish between technologies that are necessary and those that are optional where appropriate.
Where consent is required, we will provide an appropriate mechanism for obtaining it.
10. How Long Do Cookies Stay?
Cookies can have different lifetimes.
Session Cookies
These generally disappear when you close your browser or when the relevant session ends.
Persistent Cookies
These remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
The exact retention period depends on the purpose of the cookie and the technology used.
We aim to avoid keeping information through cookies or similar technologies for longer than reasonably necessary for their intended purpose.
11. Third-Party Providers
Some technologies used within our services may be provided by third parties.
These providers may include companies involved in:
Hosting
Authentication
Payments
Scheduling
Analytics
Security
Communication
Embedded services
Other infrastructure
Third-party technologies may be subject to the provider's own privacy policies, cookie policies, and terms.
Where a third party processes personal information independently, that provider may act as a separate controller rather than as our processor.
12. Do Cookies Contain Personal Data?
A cookie itself does not necessarily identify you directly.
However, cookie identifiers and related technical information can sometimes be combined with other information to identify or distinguish a user.
For this reason, certain cookie-related information may constitute personal data under applicable data-protection law.
Where that is the case, we handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection requirements.
13. Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures for the services we operate.
Cookies and authentication technologies can form part of a service's security architecture.
For example, they may help:
Maintain authenticated sessions
Prevent unauthorised access
Detect suspicious behaviour
Protect forms and transactions
Maintain session integrity
However, cookies are only one part of security.
No digital system can be guaranteed to be completely risk-free.
14. Changes to This Cookie Policy
Our services and technologies may evolve.
We may therefore update this Cookie Policy from time to time.
When we make changes, we will update the Last Updated date.
If a change requires additional notice or consent under applicable law, we will provide the appropriate information and controls.
We encourage you to review this page periodically.
15. Contact
If you have questions about cookies or similar technologies used by a particular service, please contact us through the relevant privacy or general contact channel.
When contacting us, please tell us which website or service you are asking about so that we can give you an accurate answer.
Different parts of the ecosystem may use different technologies.
Our Cookie Principle
Cookies can be useful.
They can also be abused.
We choose the boring option:
Use fewer.
Explain them clearly.
Keep them purposeful.
Don't turn visitors into advertising profiles.
Give people appropriate control.
Because good digital infrastructure shouldn't need to hide what it's doing.
Build better. Connect smarter. Scale sustainably.
