Cookie Policy

Introduction: What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files that are stored on your device or web browser when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences and past actions.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as tags, pixels, SDKs, web beacons, JavaScript, and device identifiers. Information collected through these technologies, such as IP addresses, device identifiers, and location data, may constitute personal data under applicable data protection law. Where this is the case, our Privacy Policy applies to that data.

This Cookie Policy explains how The Digital Fox (Cyprus) Ltd. ("we", "us", or "our") uses these technologies and outlines your rights to manage them.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Cookie Policy applies to our website https://thedigitalfox.com/.

The Digital Fox Web App, which you access by scanning a QR code at your table to view and settle your bill, does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. The Web App uses storage that is necessary for it to function (such as session management and security) and first-party analytics that help us operate and improve the checkout experience. Analytics data from the Web App is not used to identify you or to send you advertising unless you separately provide your details and give your consent.

2. Information That We Collect

When you use our website, we may collect certain types of information through cookies and similar technologies. This may include:

• Session identifiers and unique device identifiers,
• IP address and approximate geographic location (if allowed by your device settings),
• Time of visit, pages visited, and referring website,
• Browser and device type and operating system,
• Information about your interactions with our content and features.

This information helps us ensure the functionality of the website, improve its security, understand how the website is used, and measure the effectiveness of our marketing.

3. Types of Cookies and Similar Technologies That We Use

a. Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. They enable core features such as session management, security, and access to restricted areas. Without these cookies, certain features may not function properly. Essential cookies do not require your consent.

b. Analytics Cookies

These cookies and similar technologies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information such as page visits, traffic sources, and errors. We use this data to improve website performance and content. Provider we use:

• PostHog: product and web analytics.

Analytics cookies are set only with your consent.

c. Advertising Cookies and Pixels

These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to deliver more relevant advertising. They involve the transmission of data to third-party advertising platforms. Provider we use:

• Meta (Facebook) Pixel and Conversions API: measures interactions with our advertising and website. When you consent to advertising cookies, the Meta Pixel may set cookies on your device (such as _fbp), and event data (such as pages visited and actions taken on our website) may be transmitted to Meta Platforms, both from your browser and from our servers via the Conversions API. Meta processes this data in accordance with its own privacy policy.

Advertising cookies are set, and browser-based event data is transmitted, only with your consent.

4. Third Parties

The providers listed above are third parties that receive data collected through these technologies when you have given your consent. They may use this data in accordance with their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review those policies. We do not permit third parties to set cookies on our website beyond those disclosed in this Policy and in our cookie preference center.

5. How Can You Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies, apart from the essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the functioning of our website. When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies, with both options equally available. No non-essential cookies are set before you make your choice.

Managing Cookies via the Cookie Preference Center

You can change your consent preferences at any time by accessing the cookie preference center on our website. The preference center lists the specific cookies in use, their providers, purposes, and storage durations.

Managing Cookies via Browser Settings

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling essential cookies may impact the functionality of the website. To manage cookies via browser settings, refer to your browser's documentation for instructions.

6. Opting Out of Targeted Advertising

In addition to rejecting advertising cookies via our banner or preference center, you can manage advertising preferences through:

• Meta Ad Preferences: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads
• Your Online Choices: https://www.youronlinechoices.com

7. Consent

Non-essential cookies and similar technologies are used only after you have given your consent through the cookie consent banner or the cookie preference center. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by updating your choices in the cookie preference center. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

8. Storage Duration

Essential cookies generally last only for your browsing session. Non-essential cookies have varying durations depending on the provider; current storage durations for each cookie are listed in the cookie preference center and do not exceed 13 months from the date consent is given, after which consent is requested again.
