On your first visit, only when no Cookie is set, we may estimate the display language using your browser language settings (Accept-Language) and your connection country or region (estimated from IP address, etc.). After login, the language setting in your member profile takes priority.
When you access the site via a URL distributed by a partner or agency (e.g. https://(this site)/?s=3, https://(this site)/?sc=writeup), referral information is stored in the cookies above. If you complete membership registration within the retention period, your account is linked to the referring partner. Registrations after the 30-day expiry may not be recorded as referred. If you later access via a different referral link, the most recent referral information generally overwrites the previous one.
You can disable or delete cookies in your browser settings. However, if cookies are disabled, some features such as language preference and partner referral tracking may not work properly.
Information recorded via partner referral cookies is used within CW when membership registration is completed to manage which partner referred each member. Information collected via Google Analytics may be sent to analytics providers such as Google LLC. For Google Analytics, please also see the Google Privacy Policy.
Although we strive for accuracy of information on this site, we assume no liability for damage arising from use of CW's information due to legal amendments or other causes. In particular, information from partner organizations may change without notice according to their circumstances. Use of information on this site is at your own risk.
