This Cookie Policy explains how TheFactory uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies help websites function properly, remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and improve the overall user experience. Some cookies are necessary for the website to work, while others are used for analytics, personalisation or marketing.

Cookies do not contain viruses. Some cookies may involve the processing of personal data, depending on how they are used and what information they collect.

Some cookies are set by TheFactory, while others may be set by third-party providers whose services are integrated into our website.

You can manage your cookie preferences through our cookie settings panel or through your browser settings.

Statistical cookies

Statistical cookies help us understand how visitors use our website.

They allow us to measure traffic, see which pages are most and least popular, and understand how visitors move around the site. This helps us improve content, structure and performance.

The information collected through these cookies is usually aggregated and does not directly identify you.

If you do not allow statistical cookies, we will have less insight into how our website performs and how it can be improved.
