Cookies and similar technologies.
This notice explains how SearchFoundry uses cookies and related technologies, what they do and how you can control them.
2. Types of cookies and technologies
Strictly necessary
These support core website functions such as security, network management, page delivery and any preference controls required for the site to operate. They cannot always be switched off through a website preference tool because the site may not function correctly without them.
Preferences
Preference technologies remember choices you make so the website can provide a more consistent experience.
Analytics and measurement
Analytics technologies may be used to understand visits, traffic sources, page engagement and website performance. Where consent is required by applicable law, non-essential analytics will be used only after the required consent has been obtained.
Marketing
If advertising or campaign-measurement technologies are introduced, they may be used to understand campaign performance or tailor communications. Where required, these technologies will remain disabled until you have provided consent.
3. Current website use
The current SearchFoundry website does not intentionally use advertising cookies. Core hosting and security services may process technical request data necessary to deliver and protect the website. If additional analytics, marketing or preference technologies are enabled, this notice will be updated as appropriate.
4. Third-party resources
Some pages may load resources provided by third parties, such as web fonts or editorial images. When a browser requests these resources, the provider may receive technical information including IP address, browser details and the page making the request. Third-party services operate under their own privacy and cookie terms.
5. Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Blocking some technologies may affect website functionality.
If SearchFoundry introduces a cookie preference centre for optional analytics or marketing technologies, your choices there will apply in addition to the controls available through your browser.
6. Retention
Cookie retention periods depend on the technology used. Session cookies normally expire when the browser is closed, while persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier. Any optional analytics or marketing tools introduced by SearchFoundry will be configured with proportionate retention settings.
8. Contact
Questions about cookies or privacy can be sent through the SearchFoundry contact page.
