Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies are not harmful and do not contain viruses or personal information like your name or credit card details. However, they can be used to recognise your browser and to remember certain information about your visit.

Similar tracking technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage may also be used in conjunction with cookies to achieve similar purposes. Throughout this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer to all such technologies collectively.

Essential Cookies — These cookies are strictly necessary for our platform to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, filling out forms, or setting your privacy preferences. Without these cookies, parts of the platform will not work correctly.

Analytics & Performance Cookies — These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our platform by collecting information about pages visited, time spent on the platform, and any errors encountered. This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally. We use this information to improve the performance and usability of our platform.

Functionality Cookies — These cookies allow the platform to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, currency, or region) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or leaving a comment.

Marketing & Targeting Cookies — These cookies are used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on our platform and across the web. They track your activity across websites and are usually placed by third-party advertising networks. You can opt out of these cookies at any time.

When you first visit our platform, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences individually by category. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.

You can also control cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from websites. Please note that if you block essential cookies, some parts of our platform may not function properly. Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser — please refer to your browser's help documentation for guidance.

To opt out of interest-based advertising from third-party networks that use cookies on our platform, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page. Please note that even after opting out, you may still receive generic (non-personalised) advertisements.
