2. What are Cookies and Similar Technologies
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your device (computer, tablet, mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website to recognise your device and remember information about your visit (such as preferences, login state, and language). Most modern browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies.
In addition to HTTP cookies, this Policy applies to all other technologies that store or access information on your device, including but not limited to:
- Local storage and session storage (HTML5 Web Storage)
- IndexedDB and other browser databases
- Pixels, web beacons, clear GIFs, and tracking scripts
- Software development kits (SDKs) embedded in our mobile and desktop applications
- Device fingerprinting techniques
- Server-side tracking technologies that rely on identifiers created on, or read from, your device.
Throughout this Policy, the word "cookies" includes all such similar technologies.
3. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies are placed on your device on the basis of the exemption in Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive: their storage is strictly necessary to provide the service that you have requested. No prior consent is required for these cookies.
3.2 All other cookies (functional, analytics, marketing/advertising, social) are placed only after you have given your prior, freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent through our cookie banner, in accordance with Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive and Article 4(11) GDPR. Where the cookie also processes personal data, the lawful basis for that processing under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR is your consent.
3.3 You may withdraw your consent at any time through our Cookie Settings panel, accessible from the footer of every page on the Platform, or as described in Section 7 below. Withdrawal is as easy as giving consent and does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
3.4 We do not deploy any "cookie wall". You can access the Platform without consenting to non-essential cookies. Refusing non-essential cookies will not deprive you of access to the Services.
4. Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify cookies into the following categories. The specific cookies in each category are listed in Section 5.
4.1 Strictly Necessary
These cookies are essential for the Platform to function. They enable core security, authentication, session management, load balancing, fraud prevention, accessibility, and the recording of your cookie-consent choices. They cannot be disabled without breaking the Platform. Examples: session identifier; CSRF token; cookie-consent state.
4.2 Functional / Preferences
These cookies remember choices you make (such as language, currency, region, dashboard layout, or display preferences) to deliver a more personalised experience. They are placed only with your consent.
4.3 Analytics / Performance
These cookies allow us, or our analytics providers, to count visits, measure traffic sources, understand how visitors interact with the Platform, and improve the Platform. They are placed only with your consent. Where technically feasible, we configure analytics tools to use IP-anonymisation, server-side processing, and aggregation.
4.4 Marketing / Advertising
These cookies are set by us or by our advertising and marketing partners. They build a profile of your interests and may be used to display relevant advertising on third-party websites, to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, and to manage retargeting. They are placed only with your consent.
4.5 Social Media
Some pages may include features from social-media platforms (such as embedded videos or "share" buttons). These features may set cookies and read existing cookies on your device. They are placed only with your consent.

6. Third-Party Recipients and International Transfers
6.1 Where cookies are set by, or transmit data to, third parties (for example, our analytics, advertising, CRM, or video providers), those third parties are independent controllers or, where applicable, processors of the data they collect through the cookie. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies, to which links are provided in our cookie banner.
6.2 Some of these third parties are established outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on:
(a) adequacy decisions of the European Commission under Article 45 GDPR (including, where applicable, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where the recipient is certified);
(b) the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses approved by Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914, supplemented by additional technical, organisational, and contractual measures where required following the Schrems II judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (Case C-311/18); or
(c) other safeguards under Articles 46–49 GDPR.
A list of the third-party recipients in respect of cookies, the country of processing, and the transfer mechanism is maintained in our cookie banner and is available on request.
