This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies the wdteam.lv website uses, what they are for, and how to change your choice. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
This is a translation for convenience. In case of any discrepancy, the Latvian version prevails.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device. It lets the site remember your choices and work correctly. Browser local storage and similar technologies work in much the same way — in this policy, “cookies” covers all of them.
Cookies may be set by the site itself (first party) or by a provider whose content is embedded in the site, such as a map or a bot check (third party).
2. The legal basis we rely on
Storing information on, and gaining access to information stored in, your device is governed by the Latvian Electronic Communications Law, which implements Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC, and by the GDPR. We also follow the cookie guidelines issued by the Latvian Data State Inspectorate.
In practice this means two regimes:
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for the site to work at all or to carry out something you explicitly asked for (such as submitting a form). These do not require consent, but we must tell you about them — which is what the table below does.
- Everything else — statistics, preferences and marketing — is enabled only after you consent. Until you do, the corresponding scripts are not loaded. Consent can be withdrawn as easily as it was given.
3. Categories
| Category | What it does | Consent required |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Keeps the site running and secure, protects forms against bots, and remembers your choice in the cookie banner. | No |
| Preferences | Remembers settings such as the chosen language or view. | Yes |
| Statistics | Helps us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. | Yes |
| Marketing | Embedded third-party content, campaign measurement and ad personalisation. There is currently none on the site. | Yes |
At present the site has no visitor analytics installed and no advertising pixels. If we add any, they will run only after consent under “Statistics” or “Marketing”, and this table will be updated.
4. The actual cookies
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Category | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
bz_consent |
wdteam.lv (Bugzio) | Stores your choice in the cookie banner so it is not shown repeatedly and your choice is respected. | Necessary | 182 days |
_GRECAPTCHA |
google.com (Google reCAPTCHA) | Distinguishes humans from bots when the consultation enquiry form is submitted. Without it the form is not protected against spam. | Necessary (security) | up to 6 months |
wordpress_*, wp-settings-* |
wdteam.lv | Login session and admin settings for site editors. Not set for ordinary visitors. | Necessary | session to 1 year |
5. Consent record
So that we can demonstrate what you chose, we store a record: the consent identifier, the allowed categories, the banner revision, language, page address, an anonymised IP address (the last part replaced with zeros, so no individual device can be traced from it), browser description and timestamp. This record is handled by our own tool, Bugzio, running on our server in Germany. Retention — up to 24 months.
6. Third-party resources without cookies
The site also loads some technical resources from other companies’ servers. They do not set cookies, but loading them lets the provider see your IP address:
- Google Fonts (
fonts.googleapis.com) — typefaces; - Google Hosted Libraries (
ajax.googleapis.com) — the jQuery library; - BootstrapCDN (
maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com) — the Bootstrap interface library; - Cloudflare — DNS and attack protection.
The basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in serving the site quickly and securely (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
7. How to change or withdraw your choice
- On the site: click the cookie icon in the bottom corner of the page — the “Cookie settings” dialog opens, where each category can be switched on or off and the choice saved. Changes take effect immediately.
- In your browser: cookies can be deleted or blocked in the browser settings — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. Note that blocking necessary cookies may break the site.
8. Changes
If we add new tools to the site, we will update this policy and — where consent is affected — ask for it again. The effective date is always shown at the top of the page.
