Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the website’s owners about how visitors interact with the site.

Cookies allow a site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login information, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you return.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, secure areas access, and remembering your cookie consent preference. Without these cookies, the site cannot operate as intended.

• mm_cookie_consent — stores your cookie consent choice (1 year).

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve user experience and content. We use:

• Google Analytics 4 — measures site usage with anonymized IP addresses. Google may use these for its own purposes; see Google’s privacy policy.
• Vercel Analytics — privacy-friendly performance and traffic analytics provided by our hosting provider.

Advertising Cookies

We work with advertising networks (such as Adsterra) that may set cookies to deliver relevant ads, measure ad performance, and limit how often you see the same ad. These cookies may track your browsing across sites that participate in the same network. For more details, please review:

• Adsterra Privacy Policy

Functional Cookies / Local Storage

We use browser local storage to remember preferences and recently viewed items. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

3. Third-Party Cookies

When you watch a trailer (which is embedded from YouTube), YouTube and Google may set their own cookies. We use the privacy-friendly youtube-nocookie.com domain wherever possible to limit this.
