Cookie Policy

When you return to the site, the browser sends those files back, so the site can recognise your session, remember your preferences or measure how pages are used. Similar technologies - such as local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels - work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them all under the general term “cookies”.

A cookie generally contains the name of the site that set it, a value (often a random identifier) and an expiry date. Cookies cannot read other files on your device and are not programs.

Flint Fundthorn deploys cookies to maintain website security and performance, to retain your preferences, to identify which content provides value, and - subject to your agreement - to assess how well our promotional efforts perform. Essential cookies activate immediately upon site access as they are required for core functionality. All remaining categories are enabled only following your approval, and you may revoke that approval whenever you wish.

Strictly necessary cookies

These keep the site usable: they maintain your session while you move between pages, balance traffic across servers, protect forms against automated abuse and remember the cookie choices you have already made. They do not build a profile of you and cannot be switched off through our banner, because without them core functions such as signing in would fail.

Preference (functionality) cookies

These remember the settings you choose - for example the interface language, a region, a display preference or whether you have dismissed an informational notice. They make the site more convenient but are not essential; if you refuse them, the site still works and simply asks for your preferences again on each visit.

Analytics (performance) cookies

These enable us to track page views, determine which content receives attention, gauge session duration and pinpoint technical failures. Data presented in our reports is consolidated: it indicates whether content is frequently visited or performs slowly, not your personal identity. We apply these findings to resolve issues and enhance site organization.

Marketing (advertising) cookies

These document your source from a particular promotion or advertisement, prevent repeating identical promotions to you, and assess whether a promotion resulted in a conversion. Advertising collaborators may access these across their own websites. These are only generated after your explicit permission.

Session cookies remain active solely during your current browser session and vanish automatically upon closure. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them; on this site their lifetimes range from a few days to roughly two years, depending on the purpose. The exact expiry of an individual cookie can always be inspected in your browser’s storage settings.

We keep the record of your consent choices for a limited period so that the banner does not reappear at every visit; after that period we will ask again.

Certain cookies are placed by external organizations providing services under our instruction, such as analytics vendors, content distribution systems, security specialists or promotion evaluators. These external providers may retrieve their own cookies during your visits to other sites utilizing their services. We do not manage what third-party cookies contain; their handling of collected information follows their individual privacy and cookie policies.

Where a third-party cookie is not strictly necessary, it is only placed after you have consented through the cookie banner. If you would like a list of the providers currently in use, contact support and we will provide the up-to-date details.

Through our banner

Access the cookie notification or cookie preferences option on the site to permit or deny the customization, measurement and promotional categories. Denying a category prevents future cookies in that category from being created; previously stored cookies can be deleted via your browser controls.

Through your browser

All major browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them individually or entirely, block cookies from specific sites, block all third-party cookies, or delete everything automatically when the browser closes. You will normally find these controls under a menu named “Settings”, then “Privacy”, “Privacy and security”, “Site permissions” or “Cookies and site data”. Mobile browsers offer the same options in their settings screens, and mobile operating systems provide separate controls for advertising identifiers.

Private browsing

Opening the site in a private or incognito window means most cookies are discarded when you close that window, though this does not prevent them from being set during your visit.

Preventing essential cookies will disable certain site features: you may find yourself logged out, unable to submit information or complete authenticated actions. Preventing customization cookies prevents details like language selection from being saved. Preventing measurement or promotional cookies does not impact how the site operates - you will simply be excluded from our analytics and promotional assessments.

We examine this notice regularly and revise it as our cookie implementations, underlying technologies or regulatory requirements shift. The newest edition remains accessible here; significant modifications will be announced through the site or the cookie notification, and your continued activity following the modification constitutes acceptance of the updated notice.

If you have a question about this policy, want details of a specific cookie or wish to exercise a data-protection right, please write to our support team through the contact page. Related documents are listed in the footer of every page, including our Privacy Policy.
