234e : Essential & Analytics Cookies

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how 234e uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. It describes what cookies are, why we use them, the categories we rely on, how you can manage them, and the choices you have regarding their use.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the website you visit. They enable the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to remember certain information about your preferences or actions. Cookies may be read by us or by trusted partners acting on our behalf, in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

How we use cookies

We use cookies to support essential site functions, remember user preferences, monitor transactions for fraud prevention, and analyse site usage to improve our services. Some cookies may be set by our service providers to assist with hosting, analytics, or advertising. We process information collected by cookies in accordance with this policy and applicable law.

Types of cookies we use

Essential cookies: Necessary for the website to operate. They enable secure access to member areas, support login functionality, and ensure basic navigation. These cookies are session-based and expire when you close your browser.
Functional cookies: Remember language, region, and other preferences to personalise your experience. They may persist for a defined period (up to 12 months) unless you delete them earlier.
Analytics and performance cookies: Collect information about how you use the website so we can analyse trends, improve navigation, and optimise features. They typically expire within 12–24 months, though your browser settings may influence retention.
Advertising and tracking cookies: Used to measure advertising performance and, where permitted, to deliver targeted content. These cookies are commonly set by service providers and may persist for several months up to 24 months. You may opt out of non‑essential advertising cookies.
Third‑party cookies: Cookies placed by entities other than 234e (such as analytics or advertising providers). Their use and retention are governed by the respective providers’ privacy policies.

Managing cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. This includes deleting existing cookies or blocking new cookies. Note that disabling cookies may limit access to certain features or services, including login and account management.

Opting out and Do Not Track

You may opt out of non‑essential cookies via your browser or through any cookie management tools provided by 234e. If you have given consent for marketing cookies, you may withdraw that consent at any time. We honour Do Not Track signals where supported by your browser; however, many site functions rely on cookies and DNT signals may not halt all data collection.

Data sharing with service providers

Some cookies are set by service providers that perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, or advertising. These providers process data in accordance with their own privacy policies and contractually mandated safeguards. We do not control these third parties’ data practices beyond ensuring appropriate data protection measures are in place.

Security of cookie data

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to safeguard cookie data. Cookies store identifiers and related information; you should protect access to your devices and login credentials to prevent unauthorized use.

Data retention for cookie information

Cookie data is retained for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Session cookies expire at the end of your browsing session. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period (commonly up to 24 months) or until you delete them, whichever occurs first.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. If material changes are made, we will provide notice on the website and update the effective date accordingly.
