Workiva Inc owns and operates the www.workiva.com website ("Site"). We use cookies, web beacons and other similar technical devices (which we will refer to in this policy as "cookies") on our Site. Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit.
Cookies make web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while you're at the Site. The use of cookies is an industry standard -- you'll find them at most websites. By showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Information such as the total number of visitors and pages viewed is most easily tracked with cookies. We may use the information from cookies to make improvements and updates to the Site and to tailor our services to our visitors' needs. For example, the Site allows visitors to increase the font size of the text contained on the Site to make it easier to read. Cookies enable the Site to automatically use your preferred font size the next time you visit the Site.
Site pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons-also referred to as single- pixel gifs-that permit Workiva to count users who have visited those pages and for other related website statistics (e.g., recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity). Web beacons are not used to access your personal information on the Site; they are solely used to compile aggregated statistics concerning the use of the Site. Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, the time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the web beacon resides.
European data protection laws require websites get consent to send cookies to your computer or mobile device unless the cookies are strictly necessary to provide services to you. You can set your cookie preferences when you arrive at our Site, or change them at any time by clicking the links below. You can also set your browser to reject cookies.
Unless the cookie is a strictly necessary cookie, you can withdraw your consent to our cookies at any time even if you have previously consented. Although, please do remember that if you do not consent to our functionality cookies, parts of our website will not work. For example, you may not be able to access all documents or videos that are on the website. The table below explains what cookies we use on our Site, why we use them and whether they are strictly necessary or another type of cookie e.g. "functionality" or "performance" cookies. We also state in the table whether a cookie is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. The difference is that:
- Persistent cookies remain on your device between browsing sessions. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. For example, where a "persistent cookie" is used on a website to remember your log-in details, you will not need to enter those details each time you visit that website.
- Session cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and finishes when you close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
Some of the cookies listed below are those set by our own website when you visit – www.workiva.com. However, we also have cookies on our Site that are set by third parties – not Workiva. For example, we use Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting (for more information see the tables below).
Strictly necessary
Strictly necessary cookies are essential to enable you to receive a service on a website. For example, cookies to operate online shopping baskets, do your internet banking or to comply with the law (e.g. such as to keep your information safe). We would not be able to operate our Site without using the "strictly necessary" cookies listed below.
Performance
Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. Any information collected by these cookies is anonymous. We only use such information to improve our Site.
Functionality
Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your log in details) and customised preference settings (e.g. text size). They also enable enhanced, more personal features, e.g. a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by using a cookie to remember which region you are in. These cookies are also used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video. Information collected by "functionality" cookies may or may not be anonymised, but they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. The "functionality" cookies on our website only collect anonymous information.
Targeting
These cookies collect information about your browsing habits to make advertising relevant to you and your interests. These cookies collect the most information about users.
