Cookie Policy

01About this policy

Cookies and similar technologies help us run our services, understand how they are used and support relevant advertising. This policy describes the technologies we use and the choices available to you.

By using our services, or by accepting non-essential cookies through our consent banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described here. You can change your choices at any time.

02What are cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use related technologies, including:

• Local and session storage, to remember settings and improve performance.
• Pixels and tags, small pieces of code used to measure activity and the performance of advertising.
• Software development kits (SDKs), used within mobile apps that include our technology to deliver and measure advertising.
• Device and advertising identifiers, used, where permitted, to support measurement and relevant advertising.

03Why we use cookies

We use these technologies to make our services work, to keep them secure, to remember your preferences (such as language and theme), to understand how our services are used so we can improve them, and to measure and support advertising. Non-essential technologies are only used with your consent.

04Categories of cookies we use

We group the cookies and similar technologies we use into the following categories:

• Strictly necessary, required for the site to function, to keep it secure and to remember your privacy choices. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
• Functional, remember preferences such as language, region and theme to provide enhanced features.
• Performance and analytics, help us understand how visitors use our services so we can measure and improve them, usually on an aggregated basis.
• Marketing and advertising, used to measure and improve advertising and, where applicable, to support relevant advertising across channels.

05First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set by Bright Face Ads. Third-party cookies are set by partners we work with, for example analytics providers or advertising platforms such as Meta, Google and Eskimi, when you use features that rely on them.

Third parties are responsible for their own technologies in accordance with their own policies, and we encourage you to review them.

06How long cookies stay on your device

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. The lifespan of each cookie depends on its purpose; necessary and preference cookies may last longer than analytics or advertising cookies.

07Managing your preferences

You can control cookies in several ways:

• Consent banner, accept or reject non-essential cookies when you first visit, and change your choice at any time via the cookie-settings link in the footer.
• Browser settings, most browsers let you block or delete cookies and warn you before they are set; this may affect how our services work.
• Device controls, mobile operating systems offer settings to limit ad tracking and reset advertising identifiers.
• Partner opt-outs, some advertising and analytics partners provide their own opt-out tools.

08"Do Not Track" signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. As there is no common industry standard for how to respond to these signals, our services do not currently respond to them. We continue to honour the choices you make through our consent banner and the controls described above.

09What happens if you disable cookies

If you reject or delete non-essential cookies, you can still use our website, but some features and preferences may not work as intended and some content or measurement may be limited. Strictly necessary cookies are always required for the site to operate.

10Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the technologies we use or for legal and operational reasons. The latest version, with an updated date, will always be available on this page.
