Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how The Digital Wise (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on thedigitalwise.com (the “Site”). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information more generally.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owners. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, and local storage, perform comparable functions. Cookies may be “session” cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them.

Types of cookies we use

We use a small number of cookie categories on the Site:

• Essential cookies: these are necessary for the Site to function properly. They support core features such as page navigation, security, and remembering your cookie choices. The Site cannot work as intended without them, so they do not require consent.
• Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4): we use GA4 to understand how visitors find and use the Site, which pages are popular, and how we can improve. These cookies collect information in aggregate, such as page views, session duration, and approximate location derived from your IP address. This helps us measure and improve our coverage of movies, web series, and sports.
• Advertising cookies: where we display advertising, these cookies may be used by us or our advertising partners to deliver and measure ads and, in some cases, to limit how often you see a particular ad. Any sponsored or paid content is clearly labelled, as explained in our Affiliate Disclosure.

Managing cookies

You are in control of cookies. Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies through their settings. You can usually choose to be warned before a cookie is set, to accept only certain cookies, or to reject them entirely. Please note that blocking some cookies, particularly essential ones, may affect how the Site functions.

To manage cookies, look in your browser settings menu, typically under “Privacy” or “Cookies”. You can also opt out of Google Analytics across websites by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. For advertising preferences, you can use industry opt-out tools offered by advertising self-regulatory organisations.

Consent

Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies, such as analytics and advertising cookies. You can give or withdraw consent at any time using the cookie controls provided on the Site or by adjusting your browser settings. Essential cookies are always active because the Site cannot operate without them. By continuing to use the Site after setting your preferences, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. When we do, we will update the policy on this page. For broader information about how we process personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
