COOKIE POLICY

Last Revised: January 1, 2025

This Cookie Policy (“Policy”) explains how fanspace.io (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Platform”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with our services. It also describes how you can manage your cookie preferences. By continuing to use the Platform, you confirm that you understand and agree to the use of these technologies as explained below. If you do not agree with any aspect of this Policy, please either adjust your cookie settings or refrain from using our services.

 

I. Cookie Governance Framework

1. Scope and Intent

This Policy outlines the principles and practices that guide our use of cookies and related tracking tools on the Platform. It complements our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service by explaining how these technologies function and how they might affect you. It applies to all individuals interacting with the Platform, whether as visitors, registered users, creators, or subscribers.

2. Integration within the Broader Legal Ecosystem

The information in this Policy works alongside our Privacy Policy. Should there be any overlap in terminology or references, the definitions and standards in the Privacy Policy will help clarify meaning. Consider this Policy part of our broader effort to protect your information and maintain transparency about our practices.

3. Evolution and Revisions of Policy Terms

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in regulations, technical improvements, or adjustments in our cookie management methods. If these updates significantly affect your rights or alter how we use cookies, we will provide clear notice on the Platform. Minor administrative edits may be made without direct notification. The date at the top indicates when the Policy was last revised.

 

II. Categorization and Operational Use of Cookies and Related Technologies

1. Functional Purpose and Technical Application

We use cookies and similar tools (such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage objects) to operate and improve the Platform. Each type of cookie serves a specific purpose:

1. Essential Operational Cookies

   These are needed for core Platform functions like secure logins, session management, and defense against malicious activity. Disabling them could disrupt key services.

2. Performance and Analytics Cookies

   These gather information about user interactions and platform performance (for example, page loading speeds). We use these insights to identify areas for improvement and ensure the Platform runs smoothly.

3. Customization and Preference Cookies

   These remember your preferences (such as language settings) to personalize your experience. If you turn these off, you may see fewer personalized features.

4. Behavioral Advertising and Targeting Cookies

   These track browsing habits to show you more relevant ads and measure ad effectiveness. Opting out typically means you will see more general, less targeted ads.

2. Temporal Retention and Cookie Lifespan

Cookies can have different durations:

• Session-Based Cookies

  Remain active only while your browser is open and are deleted once it is closed.

• Persistent Cookies

  Stay on your device for a set period so the Platform can recognize you when you return, helping to maintain stored preferences or browsing history.

 

III. Consent Mechanisms and User Control Options

1. Initial Consent Interface and Preference Configuration

When you first access the Platform, you may see a prompt or banner requesting consent for nonessential cookies. You can either accept all cookies or pick specific types to allow. Essential cookies remain active to support basic features. You can revisit and change your preferences later through a dedicated settings link or your account area.

2. User Autonomy via Browser Level Settings

Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can adjust these settings to decline cookies or receive notifications when they are placed. Please note that restricting certain cookies might affect how well our site functions or limit some of its features.

3. Consequences of Cookie Deactivation

Turning off performance or preference cookies may result in slower load times or less personalized interactions. Essential parts of the Platform should still work, but the overall experience may be less refined.

 

IV. Engagement of External Technologies and Third Party Service Providers

1. Presence of Externally Sourced Cookies

Some cookies used on the Platform come from external providers that support analytics, content moderation, or interactive features. These providers may collect data for their own operational or compliance needs.

2. External Policy Frameworks and Independent Practices

These third parties have their own data and cookie policies, which we do not control. If you want to fully understand how they handle any data they collect, please review their respective privacy notices. Our influence over their data usage is limited to what we negotiate contractually.

3. Contractual Safeguards and Data Protection Alignment

We require service providers to follow data protection laws and implement appropriate security and privacy measures. However, we cannot oversee every aspect of their operations or guarantee full alignment with our internal procedures.

 

V. Safeguards for Data Integrity and Confidential Handling

1. Protective Framework and Technical Measures

We use encryption, restricted access policies, and other methods to protect cookie derived information against unauthorized access or misuse. Only authorized employees can view this data, and they do so under strict guidelines. Although no system can be entirely risk free, we take security seriously. Contact us promptly if you suspect any unauthorized activity.

 

VI. Modifying Consent and Adjusting Cookie Preferences

1. Continuous Accessibility of Consent Tools

You can update your cookie choices at any time after your initial selection. A dedicated link or option, often labeled “Manage Cookie Preferences,” lets you review and change your preferences for nonessential cookies without affecting essential functionalities.

 

VII. Policy Review Cycle and Future Amendments

1. Evaluation Processes and Policy Evolution

We periodically review cookie usage to comply with legal requirements, adapt to new technologies, and meet our internal standards. If we introduce new cookie types or significantly modify existing ones, we will update this document and notify you if it affects how your personal data is handled. By continuing to use the Platform, you acknowledge these changes.
