1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Phleekz, operated by Walson Global Inc. ("we," "us," or "our"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or use our platform at phleekz.com (the "Platform"). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

By continuing to use our Platform, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy, subject to your browser settings and any preferences you set through our cookie management tools. You may withdraw or modify your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie settings as described in Section 6 below.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to the operators of a website.

Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services are embedded in the website ("third-party cookies"). Cookies can remain on your device for varying periods of time: "session cookies" are deleted when you close your browser, while "persistent cookies" remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as pixel tags (also known as web beacons or clear GIFs), local storage, and device fingerprinting to collect and store information. References to "cookies" in this policy include these similar technologies unless otherwise specified.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our Platform:

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are required for the Platform to function and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, core features of the Platform will not work.

• Authentication cookies: Identify you when you log in and maintain your session as you navigate the Platform.
• Security cookies: Protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF), detect unauthorized access attempts, and support age-verification processes.
• Load-balancing cookies: Distribute traffic across our servers to ensure optimal performance and uptime.
• Cookie consent cookies: Store your cookie preferences so that we can honour your choices on subsequent visits.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Platform by collecting and reporting information anonymously or in aggregate form. Analytics cookies allow us to measure and improve the performance of our Platform.

• Usage analytics: Track page views, navigation paths, time spent on pages, bounce rates, and other engagement metrics.
• Performance analytics: Monitor page load times, error rates, and infrastructure performance to help us identify and fix technical issues.
• Feature analytics: Measure how often specific features are used to inform product development priorities.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable the Platform to provide enhanced features and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our pages.

• Language and region: Remember your language preference and regional settings.
• User interface preferences: Store your display preferences such as theme (light/dark mode), layout settings, and content display options.
• Media playback: Remember your video player preferences such as volume level, playback quality, and autoplay settings.
• Chat and support: Enable live chat and customer support functionality.

3.4 Preference and Personalisation Cookies

These cookies allow the Platform to remember choices you make and provide tailored content and recommendations based on your activity and preferences.

• Content recommendations: Help us personalise the content feed based on your viewing history, likes, and interactions.
• Creator preferences: Remember which creators you follow and your notification preferences.
• Recently viewed: Track recently viewed content to support navigation and discovery.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our Platform are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control the cookies set by these third parties and their use is governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies. Third-party cookies on our Platform may include:

• Analytics providers: Services such as Google Analytics or similar platforms that help us analyse traffic and usage patterns.
• Payment processors: Cookies set by our payment service providers to process transactions securely and prevent fraud.
• Content delivery networks: Cookies used by CDN providers to optimise the delivery of media content (videos, images) to your device.
• Social media plugins: If you interact with social sharing buttons or embedded social media content, those services may set their own cookies.
• Security and fraud prevention: Third-party services that help us detect bots, prevent abuse, and protect user accounts.

We encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of these third-party providers for more information about their practices and your options.

5. Cookie Duration and Retention

The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a session cookie or a persistent cookie:

• Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used primarily for authentication and security purposes during your browsing session.
• Persistent cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. The retention period varies depending on the cookie's purpose:
  • Authentication and security cookies: up to 30 days.
  • Preference cookies: up to 12 months.
  • Analytics cookies: up to 24 months.
  • Consent cookies: up to 12 months or until you change your preferences.

We periodically review our cookie retention periods and reduce them where possible, in keeping with data minimisation principles.

6. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies:

6.1 Cookie Preference Settings

When you first visit our Platform, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or customise your cookie preferences. You can change your preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings link in the footer of our Platform.

6.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to:

• Accept all cookies.
• Notify you when a cookie is set.
• Block all cookies.
• Block only third-party cookies.
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser.

Please note that blocking or deleting essential cookies may affect the functionality of our Platform, including your ability to log in, maintain your session, or use certain features.

6.3 Opt-Out Tools

For analytics cookies, you may opt out using the following tools:

• Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on (available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

6.4 Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. There is currently no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We will update this policy if a universal standard is adopted. In the meantime, you can use the cookie management methods described above to control your preferences.
