Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

They may be used to remember:

• Consent preferences;
• Language choices;
• Returning-device information;
• Analytics identifiers; and
• Advertising preferences.

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and the provider that places it.

6. Google AdSense Cookies

Fight Artist may use Google AdSense to display advertisements.

Google and other third-party advertising vendors may use cookies to serve advertisements based on a visitor’s previous visits to Fight Artist or other websites.

Google’s advertising cookies may allow Google and its partners to:

• Serve advertisements;
• Measure advertisement performance;
• Prevent fraudulent or invalid activity;
• Limit repeated advertisement exposure; and
• Where consent and applicable law permit, personalise advertisements.

Visitors may be able to manage personalised advertising through their Google advertising settings.

The presence of an advertisement on Fight Artist does not necessarily mean that Fight Artist endorses the advertiser, product or service.

7. Personalised and Non-Personalised Advertising

Depending on your location, consent choices and applicable law, Fight Artist may display either personalised or non-personalised advertisements.

Personalised Advertisements

Personalised advertisements may use information such as:

• Previous website visits;
• Advertising identifiers;
• General interests;
• Browser or device information; and
• Interaction with advertisements or online content.

Non-Personalised Advertisements

Non-personalised advertisements are generally selected using contextual information, such as:

• The content of the page;
• Your general location;
• Your current search or session;
• Device information; and
• Fraud-prevention signals.

Non-personalised advertisements may still use cookies for purposes such as frequency control, aggregated reporting, security and fraud prevention.

Fight Artist may use Google Analytics or another analytics service to understand website traffic and visitor behaviour.

Analytics providers may process:

• IP address;
• Device information;
• Browser details;
• General geographic location;
• Referral information;
• Page interactions;
• Session duration; and
• Other website-usage information.

Where available and appropriate, Fight Artist may use privacy-related settings such as:

• Consent controls;
• Limited data retention;
• IP-related privacy features;
• Aggregated reporting; and
• Restricted advertising features.

The exact analytics configuration may change as the website develops.

9. Embedded YouTube Videos

Fight Artist articles may contain embedded YouTube videos.

When you visit a page containing a YouTube video or play the video, YouTube or Google may:

• Place or access cookies;
• Collect device and browser information;
• Record video interactions;
• Associate activity with your Google account where you are signed in;
• Measure video performance; and
• Use information for advertising or personalisation according to your settings.

Fight Artist does not control how YouTube processes information collected through embedded videos.

10. Embedded Social-Media Posts

Fight Artist may embed public posts, reels, videos or other content from social-media platforms.

These services may track your interaction with embedded content even when you do not actively select it, depending on the platform’s technology and your account settings.

You should review the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant social-media provider for more information.

11. Consent Management

Where required, Fight Artist may display a cookie banner or consent-management interface when you first visit the website.

The interface may allow you to:

• Accept all optional cookies;
• Reject non-essential cookies;
• Select specific cookie categories;
• Manage advertising choices; and
• Withdraw or update a previous choice.

Your consent preference may itself be stored using an essential cookie.

Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent access to the website’s basic editorial content, although some embedded features or personalised services may be unavailable.

12. Visitors From the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland

Fight Artist may receive visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

Where required, Fight Artist may use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform to obtain and communicate visitor choices relating to:

• Cookies;
• Local storage;
• Personalised advertising;
• Measurement;
• Data sharing; and
• Other advertising purposes.

Visitors in these regions should be provided with a genuine opportunity to accept, reject or manage optional processing before relevant technologies are activated, where legally required.

13. How to Change Your Cookie Preferences

Where a cookie-settings link or button is available on the website, you may use it to review and update your preferences.

The link may appear:

• In the website footer;
• Inside the cookie banner;
• Under “Cookie Settings”;
• Under “Privacy Choices”; or
• Within another privacy-control interface.

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that lawfully occurred before the preference was changed.

14. Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• View stored cookies;
• Delete individual cookies;
• Delete all cookies;
• Block third-party cookies;
• Block all cookies;
• Clear cookies when the browser closes; and
• Receive a warning before a cookie is placed.

The location of these settings varies by browser and device.

Blocking all cookies may affect:

• Website navigation;
• Embedded videos;
• Cookie-preference storage;
• Forms;
• Security controls; and
• Other website functionality.

15. Mobile Device Controls

Mobile devices may provide additional privacy controls for:

• Advertising identifiers;
• Cross-app tracking;
• Location access;
• Browser cookies;
• Application permissions; and
• Personalised advertising.

These controls are usually available through your device’s privacy or advertising settings.

16. Advertising Choices

You may have additional options to manage interest-based advertising through:

• Google advertising settings;
• Your browser’s privacy controls;
• Your device’s advertising settings;
• Industry advertising-choice tools; and
• The consent interface displayed on Fight Artist.

Opting out of personalised advertising does not necessarily mean that you will stop seeing advertisements. Advertisements may instead be selected using contextual or non-personalised information.

17. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” setting.

There is currently no single universally adopted technical standard governing how every website must respond to these signals.

Fight Artist may therefore not automatically respond to every Do Not Track signal.

You may still control cookies using the cookie-settings interface and your browser or device settings.

18. Cookie Retention

Cookies may remain on your device for different periods.

The retention period depends on:

• Whether the cookie is a session or persistent cookie;
• The purpose of the cookie;
• The settings chosen by the service provider;
• Applicable legal requirements; and
• Your own browser settings.

Fight Artist may periodically review its cookies and remove those that are no longer reasonably necessary.

19. Cookie List

The specific cookies used by Fight Artist may change depending on the website platform, plugins, analytics services, advertising services and embedded content currently in use.

A detailed cookie list may be provided through the website’s cookie-consent interface.

That list may include:

• Cookie name;
• Provider;
• Purpose;
• Category;
• Duration; and
• Whether the cookie is first-party or third-party.

Fight Artist should periodically scan and update the list to reflect the technologies actually operating on the website.

20. Third-Party Responsibility

Third-party providers control their own cookies and processing practices.

Fight Artist is not responsible for:

• The content of third-party privacy policies;
• Changes made by third-party providers;
• Cookies placed directly by third-party websites;
• Tracking that occurs after you leave Fight Artist; or
• The operation of external advertising or social-media accounts.

You should review the policies and privacy settings of each relevant provider.

21. Children’s Privacy

Fight Artist is not designed to use cookies for knowingly profiling children for personalised advertising.

Where applicable, advertising and analytics services should be configured in accordance with legal requirements relating to children and age-sensitive content.

Parents or lawful guardians who believe a child’s information has been collected improperly may contact:

22. Data Security

Fight Artist takes reasonable measures to protect information collected through cookies and similar technologies.

However, no browser, website, advertising platform or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should keep your browser and device software updated and use appropriate security settings.
