Cookie Policy

Effective date: September 11, 2025

Applies to: 50000c16.com and related subdomains (the “Site”).

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on the Site. For information on how we handle personal data more broadly, see our Privacy Policy.

1) What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device and store certain information. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, local storage, SDKs, and tags (collectively, “cookies”).

2) Who sets cookies?

  • First-party cookies are set by this Site.
  • Third-party cookies are set by other domains (e.g., analytics providers, ad networks, social platforms). These third parties may use cookies to build a profile of your interests and show relevant content or ads on this and other sites.

3) How we use cookies (categories)

  • Strictly Necessary — required for core functionality (page navigation, load balancing, security, consent logging). You cannot switch these off in our tool, though you can block them in your browser (which may break parts of the Site).
  • Functional — remember choices and preferences (e.g., language, display settings).
  • Performance/Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., page views, referrers) so we can improve performance and content.
  • Advertising/Targeting — used by us and/or partners to deliver, measure, and improve ads and to limit repeat exposure.
  • Social Media — enable sharing and social features; these cookies may track you across other sites.

4) Legal basis (EEA/UK)

If you are in the EEA or UK, we only place non-essential cookies (Functional, Analytics, Advertising, Social) with your consent. Strictly Necessary cookies are set because they are essential to provide the service you request. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time via Cookie Settings (see Section 5).

5) Your choices and how to manage cookies

  • Consent tool: Review or change your preferences anytime by clicking “Cookie Settings” in the footer (or the banner on first visit).
  • Browser controls: You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Guides: Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647 Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox Safari: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-and-website-data-sfri11471/mac Edge: https://support.microsoft.com/topic/delete-cookies-in-microsoft-edge-63947406-40ac-c3b8-57b9-2a946a29ae09
  • Analytics opt-out (example): Google Analytics add-on — https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
  • Interest-based advertising choices: US (DAA): https://optout.aboutads.info • NAI: https://optout.networkadvertising.org EU (EDAA): https://www.youronlinechoices.eu • UK: https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices (These tools set opt-out cookies in your browser.)
  • Do Not Track & GPC: We respond to legally required browser signals (e.g., Global Privacy Control) where applicable.

6) Do we “sell” or “share” data via cookies?

We do not sell personal information. In some jurisdictions (e.g., California), the use of Advertising/Targeting cookies may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising. Where required, you can opt out via our footer link “Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information” or through Cookie Settings.

7) Cookie duration and retention

Cookies may be session (expire when you close your browser) or persistent (remain until they expire or you delete them). Retention depends on the cookie’s purpose and your settings. We retain analytics reports in aggregated/de-identified form where possible.

8) Third-party cookies we use (illustrative)

Depending on your region and consent choices, we may use:

  • Analytics: Google Analytics, Plausible, or similar.
  • Advertising/Measurement: Google Ads/Marketing Platform, programmatic partners (via CMP).
  • Social: YouTube/Vimeo players, X/Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn share widgets. The specific partners shown in your Cookie Settings (our consent manager) constitute the up-to-date list and prevail over this illustrative list.

9) International transfers

Third parties may process cookie-derived data outside your country. Where required (e.g., EEA/UK), we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses and implement additional measures as needed, and we obtain your consent for non-essential cookies.

10) Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in our practices, the law, or the Site’s functionality. When we make material changes, we will update the Effective date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice (e.g., via the banner).
