1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function, improve performance, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners and their partners.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Required for core site functionality, security, and cookie-consent preference storage. | Session cookies, consent-management cookies |
| Performance & Analytics | Help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve content and navigation. | Analytics platform cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) |
| Functional | Remember choices you make (such as region or display preferences) to provide enhanced features. | Preference cookies |
| Advertising & Affiliate Tracking | Track referrals to VPN, gaming, AI, and software partners, measure advertising performance, and support relevant advertising. | Affiliate network cookies, ad-tech cookies, retargeting pixels |
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third parties, including analytics providers, advertising networks, and affiliate program platforms used by our VPN, gaming, AI, and software partners. These third parties may combine cookie data with information collected from other sites you visit. We do not control third-party cookies; please refer to each third party’s own privacy and cookie policies.
4. Legal Basis and Consent
Where required by law (including under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive), we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device via a cookie-consent banner. You may withdraw or update your consent at any time through the cookie preference tool available on the Site, typically accessible via a link in the footer.
5. How to Control Cookies
- Use our on-site cookie consent/preference manager to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies.
- Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies (note that this may affect Site functionality).
- Opt out of interest-based advertising through industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) or Your Online Choices (youronlinechoices.eu).
- Enable Global Privacy Control (GPC) in supported browsers, which we honor as an opt-out signal for California residents where applicable.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is currently no industry-standard interpretation of DNT signals, so the Site does not respond to them differently at this time; we instead rely on the consent and opt-out mechanisms described above.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, law, or our cookie usage. Updates will be posted with a revised “Last updated” date.
