Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why they are used, how long they are retained, and how users can control cookie preferences across Proximityreels web properties.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. They can support session continuity, language selection, preference saving, analytics measurement, and security functions. Cookies may be set by the website itself or by trusted service providers used to deliver specific capabilities.
2. Categories of cookies we may use
- Essential cookies: required for core functionality such as page rendering, secure form actions, and session integrity.
- Functional cookies: store interface preferences, consent choices, and region settings.
- Performance cookies: measure page usage patterns to improve navigation and user flow.
- Marketing cookies: used for campaign attribution and audience measurement where permitted.
3. Why cookies are used
Cookies allow service reliability and continuous improvement. They help identify broken page flows, repeated user friction, and content paths that require optimization. They can also assist in maintaining user settings so repeated visits remain consistent and do not require the same setup choices on every session.
4. Retention windows
Some cookies are session-only and are removed when the browser closes. Others persist for a defined period to preserve preferences or support aggregate reporting trends. Retention duration depends on purpose, legal basis, and technical necessity. We recommend periodic review of cookie storage in browser settings for transparency and control.
5. Managing cookie preferences
Users can manage cookies at browser level by blocking, deleting, or restricting categories. Disabling all cookies may reduce functionality and can affect forms, navigation memory, and preference persistence. If a consent banner is displayed, users can accept or decline categories according to available controls.
6. Third-party services
Some integrations may place their own cookies when embedded content, analytics scripts, or support widgets are enabled. Those cookies are governed by third-party policies and contractual controls. We recommend reviewing external provider privacy and cookie documentation where applicable.
7. Policy updates
We may revise this policy to reflect product changes, legal updates, or infrastructure migrations. The latest version should always be available on this page with updated wording and practical implementation guidance.
