Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 10, 2024

This Cookie Policy explains how Domain ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with our platform at domain.biz. By continuing to use our platform, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.


1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website or application. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies may be stored temporarily for the duration of your browser session or persistently on your device for a defined period.

Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and session storage. This policy refers to all such technologies collectively as "cookies".


2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to operate and maintain our platform, improve performance, understand how users engage with our content, and deliver a consistent and secure experience. Cookies allow us to remember your login state, store quiz progress, and personalise your learning experience across sessions.


3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the platform to function. They enable core features such as authentication, session management, security, and access to protected areas. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies, as the platform cannot function properly without them.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow us to remember choices you make, such as your language preference, display settings, or previously completed assessments. These cookies improve usability and help us provide a more personalised experience.

3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect aggregated, anonymised information about how visitors use our platform — for example, which pages are visited most frequently, where users encounter errors, and how they navigate between sections. This data helps us identify areas for improvement and optimise platform performance.

3.4 Third-Party Cookies

Some features of our platform may be provided by third-party services, including analytics providers, embedded content tools, and support systems. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device, subject to their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the respective policies of those providers.


4. Cookie Retention Periods

The table below outlines the general categories of cookies we use and their typical retention periods.

Cookie Category Retention Period Purpose
Strictly Necessary Session / up to 24 hours Authentication, security, core functionality
Functional Up to 12 months User preferences, saved settings
Analytics and Performance Up to 24 months Usage statistics, platform improvement
Third-Party Defined by third party External services and integrations

5. Your Cookie Choices

You have options to manage or limit cookies used on your device. These include:

Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their privacy or settings menu. Please refer to your browser's documentation for specific instructions.

Opt-out tools: Some analytics providers offer browser-based opt-out tools or browser add-ons that prevent data collection. Where applicable, links to these tools will be provided on our platform.

Platform preferences: Where our platform provides a cookie consent interface, you may adjust non-essential cookie categories at any time through that interface.

Please note that restricting certain cookies may affect the functionality of the platform. Features such as quiz progress saving, personalised settings, and secure login may not work as expected if strictly necessary or functional cookies are blocked.


6. Cookies and Personal Data

Some cookies may collect data that, alone or in combination with other information, could identify you as an individual. Where cookies process personal data, such processing is carried out in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy for a complete understanding of how personal data is handled on our platform.


7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or the features we offer. When material changes are made, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
