Policy talk:Cookie statement

Link to translations

wmf:Privacy policy has a header with links to translations. I think it (or at least a link to m:Cookie statement) would be beneficial at wmf:Cookie statement, too, so that readers can find the translation in their preferred language. Currently the only way to find the translation is going to the talk page and clicking the Meta link there, far from being intuitive. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 19:25, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

@Tacsipacsi - we have centralized these onto this wiki. Hopefully that is more intuitive. Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 04:05, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Clarifications on the cookie policy (regarding anonymous edits)

I think this may need to be discussed by WMF for changes to be approved, but I have a problem with this paragraph (emphasis mine):

Cookies are not required in order to read or edit the Wikimedia Sites. We use the information we receive from cookies and other locally-stored data technologies to make your experience with the Wikimedia Sites safer and better, to gain a greater understanding of user preferences and interactions with the Wikimedia Sites, and to generally improve our services. Cookies are required in order to login and for your edits to be associated to a user account; without cookies, your edits will be anonymous and unassociated with an account.

Since that non-registered edits are associated with the IP address, and certain IP address can be associated with a particular company or government (like this example), I think that it should be changed into something like this (edits are in boldtype):

Cookies are not required in order to read or edit the Wikimedia Sites. We use the information we receive from cookies and other locally-stored data technologies to make your experience with the Wikimedia Sites safer and better, to gain a greater understanding of user preferences and interactions with the Wikimedia Sites, and to generally improve our services. Cookies are required in order to login and for your edits to be associated to a user account; without cookies, your edits will be unassociated with an account. Instead, it will be associated with the IP address of your computer. In most cases this will only identify roughly the country or city where you made the edit, however in some cases (like inside a company) this may specifically identify the place where you made the edit.

There is a redundant space. Tryvix1509 (talk) 13:48, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

@Tryvix1509: I have gone ahead and removed that redundant space. Thank you for your note! Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 00:17, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
