COOKIE POLICY
Cookie Policy
v1.0 · Last updated 2026-03-04
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how iOwnDigital uses cookies and similar technologies on iowndigital.com and iowndigital.net. Our approach is minimal and privacy-first. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language or login status — so the site works correctly and consistently.
Similar technologies such as local storage and session storage serve comparable purposes. Unless otherwise stated, references to "cookies" in this policy include these similar technologies.
3. Cookies We Use
We use three categories of cookies. Each is described below, including its purpose, whether it is first-party or third-party, and its retention period.
3.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the platform to function. Without them, core services such as login, purchase, and download cannot work. No consent required — strictly necessary for service delivery.
3.2 Preference Cookies
Preference cookies store your settings and choices to personalise your experience. They are first-party and do not track you across other websites.
3.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how the platform is used in aggregate, so we can improve it. We do not use third-party analytics services. All analytics data is collected by iOwnDigital directly and is not shared with advertising networks.
4. What We Do NOT Use
- Advertising cookies — We do not serve ads and do not use ad-targeting cookies.
- Cross-site tracking cookies — We do not track your activity on other websites.
- Third-party tracking pixels — We do not embed Facebook Pixel, Google Tag Manager, or similar services.
- Fingerprinting — We do not use browser fingerprinting.
5. How to Manage Cookies
You can manage or delete cookies at any time using your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies currently stored on your device
- Delete all cookies or cookies from specific websites
- Block cookies from all or specific websites
- Set preferences for when cookies expire
For browser-specific instructions, please refer to your browser's help documentation:
Important: Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in, making purchases, or downloading content. Essential cookies are required for the platform to function and cannot be disabled via browser settings without breaking core functionality.
6. GDPR Cookie Consent (EU Users)
If you are accessing iOwnDigital from the European Union or European Economic Area, additional rights apply to you under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive.
Consent for non-essential cookies: Under the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR, non-essential cookies (Preference and Analytics) require your prior informed consent before being set. iOwnDigital's platform is designed so that non-essential cookies are only activated where the relevant platform feature is used (e.g., preference cookies are set when you actively choose a display setting). We do not set non-essential cookies on first visit before consent is recorded.
Why no cookie banner? Essential-only cookies (for authentication and security) do not require opt-in consent under most regulatory frameworks, including GDPR/ePrivacy, as they are strictly necessary for the provision of the service you have requested. Non-essential cookies are triggered only by your active use of optional features, which constitutes implicit consent.
Withdrawing consent: You may withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time by clearing your cookies in your browser settings or by adjusting preferences within your account settings (where available). Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Your supervisory authority for GDPR matters is the data protection authority in your EU/EEA member state of habitual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged infringement.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this document and, where appropriate, notify you via email or a notice on the platform.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
