Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy explains how Foundeck ("Foundeck", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website, platform, and related online services.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit them.

Cookies allow websites to remember information about your visit and can help websites function correctly, keep users signed in, remember preferences, understand how visitors use different pages, measure performance, and improve the overall user experience.

Some cookies are necessary for Foundeck to work properly, while others are used for analytics, functionality, personalization, or marketing.

2. How Foundeck Uses Cookies

Foundeck may use cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve our website and platform.

Depending on the services and technologies in use, cookies may help us:

• Keep our website and platform secure and operational;
• Authenticate users and maintain login sessions;
• Remember user preferences and settings;
• Understand how visitors navigate Foundeck;
• Measure website traffic and performance;
• Identify technical problems and improve functionality;
• Understand which pages, content, and services are most useful;
• Measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns; and
• Provide a more relevant and consistent experience.

We do not use every cookie for the same purpose. The cookies available on your device will depend on how you interact with Foundeck and the choices you make through our cookie controls.

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for essential parts of Foundeck to operate.

For example, they may be used for authentication, account security, fraud prevention, session management, checkout functionality, and remembering privacy choices.

Because these cookies are necessary to provide the website or a service you request, they generally cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tools.

Blocking them through your browser may cause parts of Foundeck to stop working correctly.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow Foundeck to remember choices you make and provide enhanced functionality.

They may remember information such as your preferences, interface settings, or other choices so that you do not have to configure them again every time you visit.

If these cookies are disabled, some personalized features may not function as intended.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how people use Foundeck.

For example, they may provide information about which pages are visited, how visitors arrive at our website, how long users interact with particular pages, and whether visitors encounter technical problems.

We use this information to understand overall usage patterns and improve Foundeck's content, performance, navigation, and user experience.

Where required by applicable law, these cookies are activated only after you provide consent.

Advertising and Marketing Cookies

We may use marketing technologies to understand the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing campaigns.

These technologies may help us determine whether someone visited Foundeck after interacting with an advertisement or marketing campaign and measure conversions.

Where applicable, advertising providers may also use information collected through cookies to help deliver more relevant advertising.

Where consent is legally required, non-essential advertising or marketing cookies will not be placed until you make the appropriate choice.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed directly by Foundeck. These are known as first-party cookies.

Other cookies may be provided by third-party services that support functionality available on Foundeck. These are known as third-party cookies.

For example, third-party technologies may be used to support analytics, payments, customer support, security, fraud prevention, or advertising measurement.

Third parties are responsible for their own processing activities and may handle information in accordance with their respective privacy and cookie policies.

5. Similar Technologies

In addition to traditional browser cookies, Foundeck may use other technologies that perform similar functions.

These may include pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits, and other technologies used to recognize browsers or devices, maintain sessions, measure website activity, or support functionality.

For simplicity, references to "cookies" in this policy may also include these similar technologies where appropriate.

6. How Long Do Cookies Remain on Your Device?

Cookies can generally be divided into two categories based on how long they remain available.

Session cookies normally expire when you close your browser or end your browsing session.

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

The exact duration depends on the purpose of the particular cookie and the technology providing it.

We aim to retain cookies only for as long as reasonably necessary for their intended purpose.

7. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Where available, you can use Foundeck's cookie preference controls to accept, reject, or manage categories of non-essential cookies.

You can also manage cookies directly through your web browser.

Most browsers allow you to:

• View stored cookies;
• Delete existing cookies;
• Block certain cookies;
• Block third-party cookies;
• Receive notifications before cookies are stored; or
• Configure how websites are permitted to use cookies.

The exact controls depend on your browser and device.

Please remember that blocking strictly necessary cookies through your browser may affect important website functionality, including account access, security features, and other services.

8. Your Consent and Choices

Where applicable law requires consent, Foundeck will request your permission before using non-essential cookies.

You may be able to accept all optional cookies, reject optional cookies, or choose particular categories through the cookie preference controls made available on the website.

You can change your preferences later where such controls are provided.

Strictly necessary cookies may continue to operate because they are required to provide essential website functionality or services you specifically request.

9. Global Visitors

Foundeck serves entrepreneurs and businesses internationally.

Cookie and privacy requirements can differ depending on where you live. We aim to provide appropriate choices where required under applicable privacy laws, including relevant requirements applying to visitors in the United Kingdom and European Economic Area.

Certain jurisdictions may provide additional privacy rights concerning personal information collected through cookies and similar technologies. More information about how Foundeck handles personal information and privacy requests should be available in our Privacy Policy.

10. Do Not Track and Browser Privacy Signals

Some browsers and devices provide privacy signals or "Do Not Track" functionality.

Because standards and legal requirements surrounding these signals may vary, Foundeck's response may depend on the applicable technology, jurisdiction, and legal requirements.

Where we are legally required to recognize a particular privacy preference signal, we will seek to process it in accordance with applicable law.

11. Changes to This Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy periodically to reflect changes to our website, technologies, business practices, third-party services, or legal requirements.

When we make changes, we may update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage visitors to review this policy periodically to remain informed about how Foundeck uses cookies and similar technologies.
