This Cookie Policy explains how isanweb.org ("we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, isanweb.org) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

2. Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for analytics, advertising, and other purposes.

4. Third-Party Cookies and Affiliate Links

As an informational and affiliate website, isanweb.org may feature links to third-party partner sites. When you click on these outbound affiliate links, a third-party cookie may be placed on your device to track the origin of the referral. We do not control these third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the respective external sites.

5. How can you control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in our Cookie Consent Manager, which allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

In addition, you can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

6. Responsible Gambling

If you engage with any gambling-related content or affiliate partners via isanweb.org, we urge you to do so responsibly. Gambling should be treated as a form of entertainment, not a source of income. If you or someone you know is struggling with a gambling problem, please seek help. In the UK, you can access free and confidential advice by visiting BeGambleAware.org or by calling the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133.

7. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
