The policy states ''We will never use third-party cookies, unless we get your permission to do so''. Where it uses third-party cookies to mean cookies from domains not under control of the WMF. However, wikipedia defines the term as ''"Third-party cookies, however, belong to domains different from the one shown in the address bar"'', which is something we do use. I think that line in the privacy policy should be clarified. [[User:Bawolff|Bawolff]] ([[User talk:Bawolff|talk]]) 23:22, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

The [https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy#IP_Addresses IP Addresses] section says: «We use IP addresses (…) and to provide better mobile and other applications.» What's the mobile you want to provide? It looks like something was missing. [[User:Platonides|Platonides]] ([[User talk:Platonides|talk]]) 21:55, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

[https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy#More_On_What_This_Privacy_Policy_Doesn.27t_Cover More on what this Privacy Policy doesn’t cover], Third parties says «For example, our actions regarding your information on [https://blog.wikimedia.org/ our blog] are covered by this Privacy Policy, but if our blog were hosted by [https://wordpress.com/ WordPress], WordPress may also collect…» The problem is, the foundation blog '''is''' hosted by Wordpress. So it ends up being misleading and confusing. [[User:Platonides|Platonides]] ([[User talk:Platonides|talk]]) 22:55, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

== IP-adress ==


:@[[User:Wimajo15|Wimajo15]]: Hello, the term of use and the privacy policy don't prevent children from editing Wikipedia. However, if you are a younger user, it is recommended reading [[:en:Wikipedia:Guidance_for_younger_editors|the Guidance for younger editors]] and [[:m:Staying safe on Wikimedia as a young person|the Staying safe on Wikimedia as a young person]] page before editing. Happy editing! [[User:SCP-2000|SCP-2000]] ([[User talk:SCP-2000|talk]]) 09:22, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
The phrase of the privacy policy with IP-adresses "unique number" should be revised, because there is the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6 IPv6] protocol. An IPv6-adress doesn't contain only numbers, but letters from a-f too (hexadecimal).
--[[User:MrComment4|MrComment4]] ([[User talk:MrComment4|talk]]) 18:08, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
:Arguably, a base-16 number is still a number, its just a different way of representing it (From a computer perspective, its just a bunch of 1's and 0's. an IPv4 address is 32 1's and 0's, and IPv6 is 128. People use the a-f for IPv6 because otherwise addresses will be really long). [[User:Bawolff|Bawolff]] ([[User talk:Bawolff|talk]]) 18:54, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

I find it weird that 1 language button on top of the page links to that specific page. Privacy policy FAQs ≠ enwiki username policy. Ата (talk) 15:29, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
