1. About this policy
AdvertPlace is operated by AT SCAN LTD, UK company number 17529679. This policy describes the use of cookies and similar technologies on advertplace.net. Contact: info@advertplace.net.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small pieces of data stored on a device. Similar technologies, including local storage and tracking scripts, can also store or access information. Their purposes depend on the technology and how it is configured.
3. Essential cookies
Certain cookies or storage mechanisms are needed for requested functionality such as login sessions, shopping carts, security, fraud prevention and protecting forms. Strictly necessary use may be exempt from prior consent under applicable UK PECR rules, but must still be explained. The actual cookie names and retention periods must be verified.
4. Preferences and language
Preference technologies may remember a chosen language or other settings. Whether they need consent depends on whether the function is requested and whether the technology qualifies for an applicable exception.
5. Analytics and performance
Analytics technologies may measure visits, site usage and technical performance. Their actual provider, data collected and legal basis must be identified. Do not assume all analytics are exempt from consent; use any exemption only when its precise statutory conditions are met.
6. Advertising and third parties
If advertising pixels, external media or other third-party tools store or access device information, their use, vendors, purposes and transfers must be disclosed. Non-essential advertising or tracking generally requires prior consent. No such vendor should be claimed as active without verification.
7. Your choices and consent
Where consent is legally required, non-essential technologies must remain disabled until a valid affirmative choice is made. Users must be able to decline or withdraw consent without being forced to accept tracking. A simple acknowledgement of this policy does not itself constitute consent. Consent management must be implemented and tested in the actual website.
8. Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies and adjust storage permissions. Blocking strictly necessary technologies may prevent login, shopping-cart or checkout functionality. Browser settings are not necessarily a replacement for the consent controls required on the website.
9. Retention and storage
Cookies may be session-based or persistent. Their retention differs by technology and provider. A verified cookie inventory should name each material cookie, provider, purpose, category and lifetime; these details must be added before this policy is approved for publication.
10. Law, privacy and contact
The UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), as amended, and UK GDPR apply where relevant. For information on personal-data processing, see the Privacy Policy. Contact info@advertplace.net about cookies or privacy. You may complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk). We may update this policy if technologies or legal requirements change.
