FilmAffinity Cookie Policy

FilmAffinity uses cookies and similar technologies to enable the operation and security of the Service and, where applicable, to remember preferences, perform measurement and analytics, and display advertising.

This Cookie Policy explains what these technologies are, how we use them, and what choices you have regarding their use.

This Policy applies both to FilmAffinity.com and the other domains and regional versions operated by FilmAffinity, as well as to the official FilmAffinity application for iOS/iPadOS and Android.

The official FilmAffinity application uses WebView technology to display FilmAffinity.com content and features. As a result, cookies and web technologies used on FilmAffinity.com may also be used when you access the Service through the application.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files or pieces of information that a website may store in a user's browser or device when the user visits a website or uses certain services.

Cookies can be used, among other things, to keep users signed in, remember certain preferences, ensure the proper operation of the Service, obtain statistical information about its use, and manage and measure advertising.

In addition to cookies, FilmAffinity and certain service providers may use similar technologies that allow information to be stored on or accessed from a user's device or browser. In this Policy, we use the term “cookies” to refer collectively to these technologies where applicable.

Some cookies may be associated with technical identifiers or information related to the use of the Service and, in certain circumstances, this information may constitute personal data or personal information. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information about how we process personal data and personal information.

2. How does FilmAffinity use cookies?

FilmAffinity may use cookies for different purposes, including:

• enabling the technical operation of FilmAffinity;
• identifying a registered user's session and keeping the user signed in;
• providing access to account-related areas and features;
• remembering certain user preferences;
• protecting the security of the Service and preventing fraud, abuse or manipulation;
• obtaining statistical information about the operation and use of FilmAffinity;
• managing, displaying and measuring advertising;
• and, where permitted by applicable law and subject to any required consent or choice, selecting or adapting certain advertisements based on information related to the use of the Service.

If you block certain cookies, some FilmAffinity features may not function properly.

3. Cookies in the official FilmAffinity application

The official FilmAffinity application for iOS and Android uses WebView technology to provide access to FilmAffinity.com through an interface adapted for mobile devices.

The application does not include a separate native advertising system. Advertising spaces that may appear within the application form part of the FilmAffinity.com web content displayed through WebView.

Therefore, when you use FilmAffinity through the application, cookies and similar web technologies may be used for purposes related to the operation of the Service, session management, security, measurement, advertising and consent management, in a similar way to when you access FilmAffinity.com through a web browser.

Where applicable law requires consent or another user choice for certain cookies or technologies, they will be used for those purposes in accordance with the choice made by the user through the consent management tools available on FilmAffinity.

4. Types of cookies according to duration

Session cookies

Session cookies are designed to collect and store information while the user is using FilmAffinity. They generally expire when the session ends or the relevant browser or environment is closed.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies remain stored for a specified period and may be used during subsequent visits or sessions.

The retention period depends on the purpose and configuration of each cookie.
