Cookie Policy

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how World Kinect Corporation, its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “World Fuel”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) use cookies, web beacons, pixels, JavaScript, server logs, and similar technologies on this website and across related digital services that link to this policy.

These technologies help us operate the website, support security, remember user choices, understand how the website is used, provide enhanced functionality, and support advertising and campaign measurement where the relevant choice has been made available and, where required, consent has been provided.

This page should be read together with the cookie banner and preference centre. The categories used here are intended to match the categories shown in Cookie Settings so users can understand what is being used and update their choices at any time.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites recognise your device, remember preferences, support secure functionality, and understand how digital services are being used.

Cookies may be set directly by the website you are visiting, in which case they are commonly referred to as first-party cookies, or by third-party service providers whose tools or content appear on the website. Similar technologies, such as pixels, scripts, software development kits, and local storage, can be used for comparable purposes and are included within the scope of this policy where relevant.

Information we obtain through cookies and similar technologies

Depending on the technology and the purpose involved, the information collected may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, device characteristics, language preferences, approximate location, referring URLs, pages viewed, interactions with the website, dates and times of visits, and information about whether you have used our digital services before.

Some technologies may also support advertising, attribution, campaign measurement, audience building, lead intelligence, fraud prevention, or security monitoring. This information does not necessarily identify you directly by name, but it may still relate to you or your device and should therefore be treated carefully.

Why we use cookies on World Fuel websites

We use cookies and similar technologies for several reasons, including to:

• Support core website operation, website security, and privacy preference management
• Remember user settings and enable requested functionality
• Understand how visitors use our websites and improve performance and user experience
• Support embedded content, interactive tools, maps, and media features
• Support advertising, audience, attribution, and related campaign activity where the relevant choice has been made available

Some cookies are required for our websites to function correctly and are therefore described as essential or strictly necessary. Others are used only where additional functionality, analytics, or advertising-related activity is involved.

Our Cookies

Managing your cookie choices

You can review or update your non-essential cookie choices at any time through our cookie preference centre. Where available, use the Cookie Settings control on this website to change your choices. Some browsers also allow you to restrict or block certain types of cookies directly through browser settings.

Additional U.S. privacy choices

If you are a resident of California, or another U.S. state with applicable privacy rights, you may have the right to opt out of certain uses of your personal information, including certain advertising-related processing, sale, sharing, or targeted advertising activities, where those rights apply.

Where required by applicable law, we may honor recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC). We may also provide additional controls through a Your Privacy Choices link, the cookie preference centre, or other mechanisms made available on the website.

Some browsers also offer a Do Not Track setting. Because Do Not Track signals have not been adopted as a consistent industry standard, they are generally not relied on as the primary method for managing privacy choices. Where applicable, recognized opt-out mechanisms such as GPC should take priority.

For more information about privacy rights that may apply to you, and how to exercise them, please see our Privacy Policy or use the privacy controls made available on this website.

Privacy Consent and Opt-Out Rights / California “Do Not Share” Rights

Pursuant to certain data protection laws and regulations, you may, depending on your jurisdiction, have the (i) right to opt-out of having your personal information used for targeted advertising purposes, and (ii) right to consent to our use of non-essential cookies, and to withdrawal that consent, at any time. Where required by applicable law, we may honor recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC). We may also provide additional controls through our cookie management tool. Some web browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) setting. However, because DNT signals have not been adopted as a consistent industry standard, they are generally not relied on as the primary method for managing privacy choices.

California Opt-Out Rights / Do Not Share My Personal Information

Pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CCPA/CPRA), California residents have the right to opt out of the “sharing” of your personal information. We use third-party analytical and targeted advertising features on our Site and similar web tools provided by our marketing partners, and such features, tools and marketing relationships involve the disclosure of your personal information to third parties and may constitute the “sharing” of your personal information for CCPA/CPRA purposes.

Managing Your Privacy Choices

To opt out of this sharing of your personal information in these circumstances, please click on the cookie management tool (sometimes visible as a “Your Privacy Choices” link) on the footer of the Site to set your cookie preferences. To learn more on how you can opt-out from the features and tools, discussed in this Cookie Policy, please see above (Rejecting Cookies and Your Options). For more information about privacy rights that may apply to you, and how to exercise them, please see our Privacy Policy or use the cookie management tool available on this Site.

Legal Basis: European Union, Switzerland, and United Kingdom

Legal Basis for Processing. We process your personal information in accordance with the legal bases set forth in law. For example, our processing of personal information (as described herein) is justified based on the following legal grounds:

Legitimate Interests. Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests as set out herein (e.g., monitoring your use of the Site and your compliance with the terms and conditions governing the same, improving our Services).

Other common tracking technologies

In addition to cookies, we and our service providers may use related technologies such as pixels, tags, web beacons, scripts, server logs, or local storage to support analytics, functionality, advertising, attribution, and website security.

These technologies can help us understand whether content has been viewed, whether campaigns are performing effectively, how users interact with the website, and whether certain services or security controls are working correctly.

Where these technologies are non-essential, they should be governed consistently with the relevant cookie category and the choices available through the consent management platform.
