What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website or use an app. We also use similar technologies that store or access information on your device, such as local storage, SDK identifiers, pixels/tags, and comparable identifiers. In this Policy, we refer to all of these as “cookies”.
Why we use cookies
We use cookies to:
Make the Services work and stay secure (e.g., login, authentication, security, fraud prevention).
Remember your preferences (e.g., language and settings).
Measure and improve performance (e.g., understand usage, fix errors, improve user experience).
Provide relevant marketing communications (only where permitted, and only after consent where required).
Cookie categories we use
A. Strictly necessary cookies (no consent required)
These cookies are required for the Services to function, to provide a service you request, or to keep the platform secure. If you block them, parts of the Services may not work properly (for example, login and security features).
B. Preference cookies
These cookies remember choices you make (such as language or display settings). If they are not strictly necessary, we will ask for your consent before placing them.
C. Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Services (such as pages viewed, time spent, and errors) so we can improve performance. Where analytics cookies are not strictly necessary, we will ask for your consent before placing them.
D. Marketing / tracking cookies (consent required)
These cookies (and similar technologies) can be used to track your browsing behavior across websites and apps to show you more relevant ads or content, and to measure campaign effectiveness. We only place these cookies after you have given explicit consent.
Your choices and consent
Cookie banner and settings
When you first visit our Services, you will see a cookie banner that lets you:
Accept non-essential cookies,
Refuse non-essential cookies, and/or
Choose by category via Settings.
We do not use pre-ticked boxes, and we do not treat silence or continued browsing as valid consent.
Withdrawing consent
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer or in-app settings, or through your browser/device controls. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before you withdrew it.
Consent records
Where consent is required, we keep a record of your consent choices for compliance purposes.
Managing cookies via your browser/device
Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies, and to set rules per website. If you block all cookies, essential features (such as login, security controls, and payments) may not work correctly.
Third-party cookies and embedded content
Some parts of our Services may include third-party features (for example, video players, customer support tools, analytics providers, or payment-related components). These third parties may set their own cookies. Where required, we will only load non-essential third-party cookies after you have provided consent for the relevant category. Please review the third parties’ cookie/privacy notices for details.
What information cookies collect
Depending on the category and your choices, cookies may collect:
Device and browser information,
IP address (or derived approximate location),
User/session identifiers,
Pages viewed and actions taken,
Referral source,
Performance/error metrics.
If cookie data is considered personal data, we process it under applicable data protection laws and our Privacy Policy.
How long cookies last
Cookies can be:
Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser), or
Persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).
We set cookie lifetimes proportionate to their purpose and do not keep them longer than necessary.
International transfers
If we use service providers that process data outside the European Economic Area, we apply appropriate safeguards for such transfers (for example, standard contractual clauses), as further described in our Privacy Policy.
Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time (for example, if we change the cookies we use or if legal requirements change). We will post the updated version and revise the effective date.
