Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Domain ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit domain.info or use any of our associated services. By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader context about how we handle personal data.
2. 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, operate more efficiently, and provide information to the website owners.
Cookies do not typically identify you as an individual directly. Instead, they recognise your device and browser. In some cases, cookie data may be combined with other information we hold about you, at which point it may constitute personal data under applicable data protection frameworks.
Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and session storage, all of which may be used alongside or instead of cookies for comparable purposes. References to "cookies" throughout this policy also apply to these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, filling out forms, or adjusting privacy settings. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the site may then not work.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors move around our website. All information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular and how visitors navigate the site, enabling us to improve the overall experience.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your language preference, region, or display settings. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have incorporated into our pages.
3.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content or advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
3.5 Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary and are erased when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate between pages within our platform and are strictly necessary for core functionality.
3.6 Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time as defined in the cookie itself. They activate each time you visit the website that created them and are used to remember your preferences between visits.

7.1 Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you disable cookies entirely, some features of our website may not function as intended.
Browser-specific instructions for managing cookies can typically be found in the browser's help documentation:
7.2 Consent Management
Where we present a cookie consent interface, you can update your preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings option available on our website. Changes to your preferences take effect promptly but may not retroactively remove cookies already placed during prior sessions.
7.3 Opt-Out from Analytics
If our site uses third-party analytics tools, those providers may offer browser add-ons or opt-out mechanisms. We encourage you to consult their respective opt-out pages for further options.
7.4 Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. Our website may not currently respond to Do Not Track signals at a technical level. We encourage you to use our cookie consent interface as your primary control mechanism.
8. Cookies and Children
Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect data through cookies from children under this age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided data through our website, please contact us using the details below.

Cookie data is retained for the duration specified for each cookie, as outlined in the table in Section 4. Session cookies are erased when your browser session ends. Persistent cookies are retained until their expiry date or until you delete them. We may retain aggregated or anonymised analytics data for longer periods where it does not constitute personal data.
