This Cookie Policy explains how Domain ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with our platform at domain.biz. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.

By continuing to use our platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where consent is required by applicable law, your continued use following the display of a cookie notice constitutes your consent to the placement of cookies as described herein.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to improve efficiency, and to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies set by the website owner are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by third parties, such as analytics, advertising, and interactive content.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and session storage. For the purposes of this policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

2. Types of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the platform to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.

2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our platform. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

2.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the platform to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

2.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be set through our platform by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

2.5 Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. We use session cookies to carry information across pages of our platform and to avoid you having to re-enter information.

2.6 Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. We use persistent cookies to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

Some cookies on our platform are placed by third parties acting on our behalf or independently. These third parties include analytics providers, payment processors, content delivery networks, and embedded media services. We do not have direct control over the information collected by third-party cookies.

Third parties are required to process data collected through their cookies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review the privacy documentation of any third-party service you interact with through our platform.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that any third-party service we engage meets appropriate data protection standards, but we cannot accept responsibility for the content or practices of external sites or services.

5. How Long Cookies Are Retained

The retention period for each cookie depends on its type and purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined duration, which may range from a few days to several years, after which they expire automatically unless deleted earlier by you.

You can remove cookies at any time by clearing your browser's cookie storage. Note that deleting cookies may affect the functionality of the platform and may require you to re-enter preferences or login credentials.

6. Your Cookie Choices and Controls

6.1 Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies, to notify you when a cookie is being set, or to delete cookies that have already been set. The method for doing this varies by browser. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.

Please note that restricting cookies may impact your ability to use certain features of our platform. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through our platform interface as they are required for core functionality.

6.2 Our Cookie Consent Tool

Where required by applicable law, we display a cookie consent banner or preference centre when you first visit our platform. Through this interface, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies by category. You may revisit and update your preferences at any time through the cookie settings link available on our platform.

6.3 Opt-Out Tools

For analytics cookies and interest-based advertising, industry opt-out tools may be available through relevant trade bodies and self-regulatory organisations in your region. These tools allow you to express preferences regarding data collection for advertising purposes across participating platforms.

6.4 Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals. Our platform does not alter its behaviour in response to DNT requests at this time. We will revisit this position as industry standards develop.

7. Cookies and Personal Data

Some cookies may collect or process information that, alone or in combination with other data, constitutes personal data under applicable privacy laws. Where cookies process personal data, that processing is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is available on our platform.

We process personal data collected through cookies only where we have a lawful basis to do so, such as your consent, our legitimate interests, or the necessity of processing to perform a contract with you.

8. Cross-Device Tracking

If you are signed into a registered account on our platform, we may associate cookie-based data collected across different devices you use to access your account. This helps us maintain session continuity and provide a consistent experience across devices. You can limit this by logging out of your account when not in use or by managing cookies on each device individually.

9. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the platform or by other means.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to remain informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of our platform following any changes constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated policy.
