Cookie Policy

This Policy describes cookies and similar technologies used by ResearchCave.

What these technologies are

Cookies, local storage, pixels, SDKs, tags, and comparable identifiers can remember information or read it from a browser or device. This Policy applies regardless of the technical name when the technology serves the same purpose.

Necessary

Necessary technologies provide requested communications and features, authentication, fraud prevention, security, load balancing, language, accessibility, checkout, and remembered privacy choices. They are not used for unrelated advertising and cannot always be disabled through the site.

Analytics

When enabled, analytics technologies measure visits, feature use, performance, errors, and broad acquisition sources so we can understand and improve the service. We configure providers to limit data and retention where available.

Personalisation and third-party media

When enabled, personalisation remembers optional settings or adapts content. Third-party media may connect to external video, map, code, or social providers; those providers may receive device and request information when content is activated.

Marketing and targeted advertising

When enabled, these technologies measure campaigns, limit repetition, build or use audiences, or select advertising based on activity or inferred interests. In territories providing sale, sharing, or targeted-advertising opt-outs, the corresponding choice is treated as an opt-out.

Choice before use

Optional technologies remain blocked until the required permission is recorded. Accept and reject controls are presented with comparable prominence, purposes can be chosen separately, and withdrawing a choice is as easy as giving it.

Global Privacy Control

Where legally applicable, a recognised Global Privacy Control signal is treated as an opt-out of sale, sharing, and targeted advertising. It does not disable technologies strictly necessary to provide a requested service.

Retention and provider details

Session technologies expire when the session ends. Persistent duration is limited to the period stated in the preference interface or provider inventory. The production cookie inventory should identify each technology, provider, purpose, first- or third-party status, and duration.

Managing preferences

Use the persistent Privacy Choices control to review or change optional purposes. Browser controls can also delete or block storage, but blocking necessary storage may prevent requested features from working.
