Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences and understand how the platform is used. This Cookie Policy explains how Rising Brands Social uses cookies and similar technologies.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to keep the platform running smoothly, to remember your choices (such as passing the age gate and your consent preference), to keep you signed in, to measure performance, and to improve your overall experience.

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the platform to function. They enable core features such as age-gate confirmation, session management, security and storing your cookie-consent decision. Because the platform cannot work properly without them, they cannot be switched off in our systems.

4. Performance & Analytical Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the platform by collecting aggregated, anonymous information such as which pages are most visited and how users move around. This helps us measure and improve performance.

5. Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering interface preferences. If you disable them, some features may not work as intended.

6. Targeting & Advertising Cookies

Where used, these cookies help measure the effectiveness of campaigns and may be set by advertising partners. We only set non-essential advertising cookies with your consent, and you can withdraw consent at any time.

7. Session vs Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them, and are used to remember your preferences across visits.

8. First-Party vs Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by risingbrrands.com directly. Third-party cookies are set by external services we rely on, such as analytics, payment and embedded game providers, when their content is loaded on the platform.

9. Third-Party Cookies We Use

Some analytics, content-delivery and embedded game-simulator services may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies directly. Please refer to the relevant third party's own privacy and cookie policies for details of how they use them.

10. Web Beacons & Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use small pieces of code known as web beacons or pixels to understand engagement, for example whether a page loaded correctly. These work together with cookies and are covered by this policy.

11. Local Storage

We use browser local storage to remember certain preferences on your device, such as whether you have confirmed your age or accepted cookies. Local storage remains until you clear it through your browser.

12. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Most browsers let you view, manage, block and delete cookies through their settings. You can usually find these controls in the "Privacy" or "Security" section of your browser. Blocking all cookies may affect how the platform functions.

13. Our Cookie Consent Tool

When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your decision at any time by clearing your stored preference and reloading the platform, then choosing again.

14. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. There is currently no consistent industry standard for responding to DNT signals; we handle your data in line with the preferences you set through our consent tool and browser controls.

15. Consequences of Disabling Cookies

If you disable strictly necessary cookies, core features such as the age gate and sign-in may not work. Disabling analytical or functional cookies will not stop you using the platform but may reduce personalisation and our ability to improve the service.

16. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law or our practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
