1In short
Without your consent wid.agency uses only necessary technologies — without them the site cannot work or remember your choice. If you click “Accept all”, our own wid.agency analytics are enabled and linked to your application. Matomo continues on verify.wid.agency and sign.wid.agency, with anonymous page-view counts without consent. On the main site no activity history is collected without consent; application security data are saved when you submit, as described below. There is no Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica or advertising pixels on the site. We do not sell information about visits or share it for advertising.
2Application context and activity history
Application technical report on wid.agency
When you submit an application, our server saves your form, Telegram and WhatsApp contacts, full message, submission time, IP address, approximate IP country, region and city, network operator (ASN organisation), browser HTTP header and language. Your browser also supplies the time zone and public page address. These data support application handling and checks of suspicious submissions; refusing analytics does not turn them off.
With “Accept all”, our own code also saves public page history, UTM campaign tags, referring site, site control clicks, scroll depth, elapsed and active page time, screen, platform, languages, logical CPU count, approximate RAM, graphics adapter and connection estimates, only where exposed by the browser. Video memory is not exposed. We do not capture field contents, keystrokes or screen recordings in the activity history. History starts after consent; earlier activity is not reconstructed.
The optional “Share device location” button adds coordinates and accuracy only after separate browser permission. You can remove them before submitting; after 30 minutes they expire. You can send an application without coordinates. IP location is approximate and browser data can be spoofed: they do not prove identity, fraud or a physical address.
The main site no longer loads Matomo: our own code collects the data and our server processes it. IP geography and network operator are looked up in local databases: IP Geolocation by DB-IP (CC BY 4.0), without sending IP addresses to an external service. An application summary and full report go to our private Telegram work group. Visit records without an application are retained for up to 30 days; data attached to an application are kept with it, normally up to 12 months after the last contact. The sessionStorage history belongs to the current tab; the session expires after 30 minutes of inactivity. Choosing “Necessary only” stops collection and clears tab history; already submitted records can be deleted on request.
3What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser to recognise you on your next visit. Similar technologies include the browser’s local storage, pixels — invisible images used to count views — and device fingerprinting.
Such technologies can be necessary — the site does not work without them — or analytics and advertising ones that track visitor behaviour. Under the GDPR the latter require your consent.
4The consent window
| Button | What is enabled | What is stored |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary only | Necessary technologies; security data on application submission; anonymous views on the subdomains | A record of your choice in your browser, for 12 months |
| Accept all | Necessary technologies and our own wid.agency history; Matomo on verify and sign | A record of your choice in your browser for 12 months and statistics cookies (see below) |
Both buttons are equally visible, and refusing optional cookies does not limit the site. After 12 months the window appears again. You can change your choice at any time via the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of any page.
5Necessary technologies
| Name | Where it is stored | Purpose | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| wid-cookie-consent | Your browser’s local storage | Remember your choice in the consent window | 12 months |
| wid-suitcase | Your browser’s local storage | Remember the ticks in the “Packing for work in Dubai” checklist — only if you tick items | Until you click “Clear ticks” or clear your browser data |
These records are not sent to our server and contain no personal data — only your choice, the date and the ticked checklist items.
6Visit statistics — only after “Accept all”
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| wid-journey-v1 (wid.agency) | sessionStorage: consented history in this tab | Session: 30 minutes of inactivity; until tab closure or withdrawal |
| _pk_id | A random browser number to link repeat visits | 13 months |
| _pk_ses | Marks that a visit is still in progress | 30 minutes |
| _pk_ref | Remembers where you came to the site from | 6 months |
The listed Matomo cookies are set only by verify.wid.agency and sign.wid.agency, and the information goes only to our Matomo system at stats.wid.agency. It receives: your IP address and the country, region and city derived from it; pages opened, time and duration of viewing; where you came from; device type, operating system, browser, screen size, language, time zone and local time; clicks on WhatsApp and Telegram links and the fact that an application was sent.
Statistics records are kept for 12 months and then deleted automatically. We do not share them with anyone or use them for advertising. verify.wid.agency and sign.wid.agency have their own consent window — a choice on one address does not carry over to another.
7What happens when you open the site
| Who | What they receive | Why |
|---|---|---|
| wid.agency hosting server | IP address, time, page address, browser and device type | Running and securing the site; logs are kept for up to 90 days |
| Matomo on verify/sign (stats.wid.agency) — only after “Accept all” | IP address, pages, device, referral source | Visit statistics; kept for 12 months |
| Anonymous counting on verify/sign (stats.wid.agency) — without consent | Page, referring site, device, country and city, time zone; the IP is cut to its first two parts | How many people use the site; kept for 12 months |
| Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com) | IP address and browser information | Loading the Onest font |
| jsDelivr (cdn.jsdelivr.net) | IP address and browser information | Loading the icon set |
| Your browser | Regular cache of site files | So pages open faster; this is not a cookie or visit history |
Google and jsDelivr receive this information because your browser requests files from them. They process it under their own rules. We receive no data about you from them.

9If the statistics change
On 23 October 2026 the main site replaced Matomo with our own application context collector and asks for consent again because of the expanded scope. The subdomains retain their previous setup. On 28 September 2026 we enabled Matomo statistics and therefore asked everyone who had already made a choice in the cookie window again. If we add another service or start collecting more information, we will likewise update this document in advance and ask for consent again. Choosing “Necessary only” does not limit the site in any way.
