1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help the Site function, enhance security, analyze usage, remember preferences, and support marketing. We also use similar technologies (e.g., pixels, web beacons, local storage, SDKs) which we refer to collectively as "cookies."

You can control cookies via our Cookie Preferences (banner/link) or your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may impact Site functionality.

2. What do we use cookies for?

We use first-party cookies (set by CriticalTech.Exchange) and third-party cookies (set by our service providers) for the purposes below. Where personal data is involved, our Privacy Policy applies.

Strictly Necessary – Required for core Site functions (security, page navigation, session management, load balancing). These cannot be switched off in our systems.
Performance & Analytics – Help us understand Site usage (pages visited, session length, navigation paths) so we can improve reliability and user experience.
Functional – Remember choices (language, region, login state) to provide enhanced features.
Security & Fraud Prevention – Detect abuse, prevent fraud, and protect accounts.
Advertising/Retargeting – Deliver or measure ads relevant to your interests; limit ad frequency; measure campaign performance. (These are non-essential and require consent where applicable.)
