1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website or application. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember preferences, and provide analytics information to site operators.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags (web beacons), which may be used alongside cookies for similar purposes.
2. How ADGTech Uses Cookies
Essential Cookies
Required for authentication, session management, CSRF protection, and core platform security. These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking platform functionality. They do not require consent as they are strictly necessary for the service.
Analytics Cookies
Used to understand how the Platform is used — which features are accessed, where users encounter friction, and how to improve the experience. Data is aggregated and does not identify individual users beyond their authenticated session.
Performance Cookies
Used to monitor platform performance, load times, and error rates. Help us identify and resolve platform issues quickly.
Marketing Cookies
Used on the public website (adgtech.ai) to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. These are only active on marketing pages, not within the authenticated platform application.
Preference Cookies
Remember interface settings, selected language, theme preferences, and display configurations between sessions.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics on our public website to understand traffic patterns and content performance. Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish users and sessions. See Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com for details on how Google processes this data.
LinkedIn Insight Tag
We may use LinkedIn's Insight Tag on our public website to measure campaign performance and build audiences for B2B advertising. LinkedIn sets cookies for conversion tracking and retargeting.
Payment Processors
Moneris and Helcim, our payment processor partners, may set cookies or use similar technologies during payment flows for fraud prevention and transaction security.
Embedded Integrations
Third-party integrations you activate within the Platform may use cookies or similar tracking as part of their authentication and session management flows.

5. Consent Management
When you first visit the ADGTech public website, a cookie consent banner provides options to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Essential cookies are always active and cannot be declined without losing platform functionality.
Within the authenticated Platform, cookies are governed by your subscription agreement and platform terms.
6. How To Disable Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete existing cookies. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.
7. Impact of Disabling Cookies
Disabling essential cookies will prevent login and break core Platform functionality. Disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not affect your ability to use the Platform but may reduce our ability to improve the product based on usage data.
