Cookie Policy

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

Similar tracking technologies include web beacons (small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails), local storage, and session storage. This policy covers all such technologies and refers to them collectively as "cookies".

NISKA uses cookies for several purposes:

• **Authentication**: to keep you signed in to your account securely across page navigations.
• **Security**: to detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive behaviour on the platform.
• **Preferences**: to remember your settings such as language, currency, and theme selection.
• **Performance and analytics**: to understand how visitors interact with our website and platform,
• **Marketing**: to measure the reach and impact of our advertising campaigns on third-party platforms.

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information, track your location beyond country level, or build profiles for sale to third parties.

Essential cookies These cookies are strictly necessary for the website and platform to function. They manage login sessions, CSRF protection, load balancing, and basic security. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without breaking core platform functionality.

Analytics cookies We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website and platform. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised where possible.

Marketing cookies These cookies help us measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are only set with your explicit consent via our cookie banner.

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these third-party cookies and they are subject to each provider's own privacy policy.

Key third-party services that may set cookies include:

• **Google** (Analytics, Ads, Maps, Fonts) — governed by Google's Privacy Policy
• **Meta** (Facebook Pixel) — governed by Meta's Data Policy
• **LinkedIn** (Insight Tag) — governed by LinkedIn's Privacy Policy
• **PostHog** (product analytics) — governed by PostHog's Privacy Policy

Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent you from logging in or using core platform features.

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Because there is no universally agreed-upon standard for responding to DNT signals, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals.

We do, however, provide you with meaningful choices through our cookie consent banner and the opt-out mechanisms listed in the "Managing cookies" section above.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, legal requirements, or improvements to our privacy practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via the cookie consent banner or email.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
