5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by trusted third-party providers that support hosting, analytics, security, or embedded features.
These providers may process limited technical information according to their own privacy terms. CritikHub does not control third-party cookie policies.
6. Consent and Preference Management
Where required by law, we request your consent before placing non-essential cookies. You can update your cookie preferences at any time through available consent tools.
Strictly necessary cookies are generally always active because they are required for security and core service operation.
7. Browser Controls and Opt-Out
Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies in settings. You can also configure your browser to notify you when cookies are being set.
Disabling certain cookies may reduce platform functionality, including sign-in persistence and personalized settings.
8. Cookie Lifespan and Retention
Some cookies are session cookies that expire when you close your browser, while others are persistent cookies that remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier.
Retention periods depend on cookie purpose, legal requirements, security obligations, and operational needs.
9. Regional Rights and Do Not Track
Depending on your location, you may have additional rights regarding tracking technologies, consent withdrawal, and data processing choices.
Some browsers transmit a Do Not Track signal. Because there is no universally accepted standard for interpreting these signals, our response may vary by jurisdiction and applicable law.
