Last updated: 1 May 2025 | Effective date: 1 May 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Digital Arena Pty Ltd (ABN 47 123 456 789) ("Digital Arena", "we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website digitalarena.pro (the "Website").

By continuing to use our Website after being presented with our cookie notice, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using the opt-out mechanisms described below.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services used by that website ("third-party cookies").

2. How We Use Cookies on digitalarena.pro

We use cookies on digitalarena.pro for the following purposes:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our Website and cannot be switched off. They include:

• Age verification session cookie (da_age_ok): A session cookie that records your confirmation that you are 18 years of age or older. This is required to access our platform. It expires when you close your browser.

2.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation:

• Cookie consent cookie (da_cookies_ok): A persistent cookie (stored in localStorage) that records your cookie consent preference, so we do not display the consent banner on every visit. This is stored locally on your device and does not expire automatically.

2.3 Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our Website. These cookies collect information in an aggregated, anonymised form and do not identify individual users. Analytics data helps us improve our platform and user experience.

If you decline cookies via our cookie banner, analytics cookies will not be set.

2.4 Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how our Website performs, such as page load times and error messages. This information is used solely to improve the performance of our Website.

3. Cookies We Do Not Use

Digital Arena does not use:

• Advertising or targeting cookies;
• Social media tracking cookies;
• Cookies that collect financial or payment information (as we do not process real money);
• Cookies that track your activity across other websites.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Our Website may include links to third-party websites. If you follow a link to a third-party website, that website may set its own cookies on your device. We have no control over third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the cookie policies of any third-party websites you visit.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies:

5.1 Our Cookie Banner

When you first visit digitalarena.pro (after confirming your age), you will see a cookie consent banner. You can choose to "Accept All" cookies or "Decline" non-essential cookies. Your preference will be saved for future visits.

5.3 Clearing localStorage

Our cookie consent preference is stored in your browser's localStorage. To clear this, you can use your browser's developer tools or clear your browser's site data for digitalarena.pro.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable or delete cookies:

• You may need to re-confirm your age each browser session;

Strictly necessary cookies (such as the age verification session cookie) cannot be disabled without affecting core Website functionality.
