1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners.
In addition to traditional cookies, we and our service providers may use similar tracking technologies including local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. For simplicity, this Policy refers to all such technologies collectively as "cookies."
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Platform to function and cannot be disabled. They enable core features such as user authentication, session management, security, and remembering your cookie consent choices. Without these cookies, the Platform cannot operate correctly. These cookies do not require your consent.
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences, language settings, and interface customizations. These are only used with your consent. Disabling these cookies may affect your experience.
2.3 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how users interact with the Platform — for example, which pages and tools are visited most, how long sessions last, and where users navigate. This data is used in aggregate to improve Platform performance and features. Analytics cookies are only activated after you provide consent. Analytics cookies may be provided by third-party analytics providers.
2.4 Marketing & Attribution Cookies
These cookies may be used to understand how users arrived at the Platform (e.g., via an advertisement, search engine, or referral) and to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. Marketing cookies are only activated after you provide consent. These cookies do not personally identify you and are used in aggregate or pseudonymous form.
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Keep you logged in during your session.
- Maintain your subscription and account state.
- Remember your interface and cookie consent preferences.
- Understand how the Platform is used so we can improve it (analytics, with consent only).
- Detect and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized access.
- Measure the performance of features and creator tools.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Platform are set by third-party service providers including analytics platforms, payment processors, and infrastructure providers. These third parties may have their own privacy policies governing how they use the data they collect. We do not control third-party cookies directly, but we select providers carefully and require them to handle data in accordance with applicable law.
5. Your Cookie Choices & Browser Controls
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View and delete cookies currently stored on your device.

- Receive a notification before a new cookie is set.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will impair Platform functionality, including your ability to log in and use creator tools.
For guidance on managing cookies in your browser, visit your browser's help documentation or a resource such as www.aboutcookies.org.
6. Cookie Consent
When you first visit Contego Media, you will be shown a cookie consent notice. Non-essential cookies (analytics and marketing) are not activated until you explicitly consent. You may accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences individually.
You may update your preferences at any time using the cookie preference control available on this page.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent as they are essential to the operation of the Platform.
