This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how The Digital Penguin uses them on thedigitalpenguin.net, and how you can manage them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owners. Similar technologies such as pixels and local storage work in comparable ways, and we refer to all of them here as "cookies".
2. Types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These are essential for the website to function, such as remembering security settings and enabling core navigation. The site cannot work properly without them.
Performance and analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are popular and where people may run into problems — so we can improve it. They collect information in an aggregated way.
Functional cookies
These remember choices you make, such as your preferences, to give you a more personalised experience.
Advertising cookies
These may be set through our site by advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. They do not store personal information directly but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.
3. Why we use cookies
- To keep the website secure and running smoothly.
- To measure and improve site performance and content.
- To remember your preferences.
- To understand the effectiveness of our marketing and, where permitted, to show relevant ads.
4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as analytics providers and advertising platforms including Google and Meta. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we recommend you review.
5. Managing your cookies
You can accept or decline non-essential cookies through any cookie banner we display. You can also control cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies. Note that blocking some cookies may affect how the site works for you.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies evolves. Any changes will be posted here with an updated date at the top of the page.
