Cookie Policy

Last updated: 12 August 2026

1. About this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how the operator of Eporner.com, identified in our Terms of Service (“we”, “us” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with Eporner.com and the services made available through it (collectively, the “Website”).

This Policy applies whenever you access or use the Website, regardless of whether you are registered or logged into an account. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

This Cookie Policy is intended to provide information about cookies and similar technologies. It does not itself constitute consent to the use of any technology for which consent is required by applicable law.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files or pieces of information stored by a website on a computer, smartphone, tablet or other device. They allow a website to recognise a browser or device, maintain a session, remember information and provide particular functions.

Cookies may contain or generate identifiers and other technical information relating to a browser, device, session or interaction with the Website. Depending on their purpose and the surrounding circumstances, information associated with cookies may constitute personal data.

Cookies do not necessarily identify a user directly by name. They may, however, distinguish one browser, device, session or account from another and may be combined with other information.

3. Similar technologies

In addition to conventional browser cookies, the Website may use other technologies that perform similar functions, including:

• local storage and session storage;
• pixels and web beacons;
• tags and scripts;
• software development kits and embedded components;
• device, browser or session identifiers;
• technologies used to detect fraud, abuse or automated access.

In this Cookie Policy, references to “cookies” include these similar technologies where appropriate.

Information transmitted as part of an ordinary internet connection or recorded in server logs is not necessarily stored in a cookie. Information collected through server logs is described in our Privacy Policy.

4. First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are placed through the domain of the Website by us or on our behalf. They may be used to operate the Website, maintain sessions, remember preferences, protect accounts and provide functions requested by users.

Third-party cookies are placed or accessed by external providers whose technologies, content or services are integrated with the Website. These providers may include providers of:

• advertising and advertising measurement services;
• audience measurement and analytics services;
• security and fraud-prevention services;
• content delivery and infrastructure services;
• embedded content or technical components;
• other services used to operate, support or fund the Website.

A third-party cookie may be activated when a browser loads a resource supplied by that third party, such as an advertisement, script, pixel, security component or embedded element.

Third-party providers may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie notices. Their practices, purposes and retention periods may differ from ours.

5. Why cookies may be used

The cookies used during a particular visit may depend on factors including your location, browser, device, account status, the functions you use and the third-party services involved.

5.1. Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are used where required to operate the Website, transmit requested content, protect the Website or provide a function expressly requested by a user. They may be used to:

• establish and maintain a browsing session;
• authenticate users and maintain login status;
• provide access to account functions;
• deliver webpages, videos and other requested content;
• route network traffic and balance server load;
• maintain technical state between requests;
• process forms, uploads and other requested actions;
• protect accounts, users and infrastructure;
• detect bots, fraud, spam, abuse and unauthorised access;
• enforce technical and security limits;
• record security-related or technically necessary choices;
• prevent repeated malicious or automated requests.

Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Website, account functions, video playback or other essential features from operating correctly.

5.2. Functional and preference cookies

Functional cookies may be used to provide optional functions or remember choices made during a previous visit. Depending on the functions available on the Website, they may remember:

• language, region or display preferences;
• video-player settings, including volume or playback preferences;
• search, filtering, sorting or navigation choices;
• whether a notice or message has previously been displayed;
• recent interactions with Website functions;
• other settings selected by a user.

If these cookies are blocked or deleted, optional functions may not operate as expected and previously selected preferences may be lost.

5.3. Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics and performance cookies may help us understand how the Website is accessed and used and whether it is operating correctly. They may be used to:

• count visits, page views and video views;
• measure traffic sources and navigation paths;
• understand which Website functions are used;
• measure loading, delivery and playback performance;
• identify errors, outages and technical problems;
• test changes to the Website;
• prepare aggregated usage statistics;
• improve the performance, reliability and usability of the Website.

5.4. Content selection and personalisation cookies

Where used and permitted by applicable law, cookies may help maintain continuity between visits, remember previous interactions, arrange content or provide content recommendations based on activity associated with a browser, device or account.

Blocking or deleting these cookies may result in content being displayed in a less personalised order. It does not necessarily prevent access to the Website.

5.5. Advertising cookies

The Website may use first-party or third-party cookies in connection with advertising. These cookies may be used to:

• select and deliver advertisements;
• limit how often the same advertisement is displayed;
• record whether an advertisement was displayed or interacted with;
• measure advertising reach and effectiveness;
• attribute visits or actions to advertising campaigns;
• detect invalid traffic, automated clicks and advertising fraud;
• select advertisements according to the content being viewed, general location, browser type or device type;
• support interest-based advertising where permitted by applicable law.

Advertising cookies are not normally required for basic access to the Website. Blocking them does not necessarily prevent advertisements from being displayed. Advertisements may instead be less relevant or may be selected without information stored in optional advertising cookies.

6. Information associated with cookies

Depending on the technology and its purpose, cookies may collect, store or generate information such as:

• random or pseudonymous cookie identifiers;
• browser, device and session identifiers;
• IP address and general location derived from an IP address;
• browser type, browser version and operating system;
• device type, screen properties and technical configuration;
• language, region and time-zone settings;
• referring webpage or traffic source;
• pages, videos and Website functions accessed;
• search, filtering, navigation and interaction information;
• dates, times and duration of sessions;
• video delivery, playback and error information;
• advertisement impressions, clicks and measurement data;
• security events and indicators of automated or abusive activity.

If you are logged into an account, information associated with a cookie, browser or device may also be associated with that account where necessary to provide a requested function, protect the account, maintain security or provide another service described in this Policy.

Further information about the processing of personal data, applicable legal bases and user rights is available in our Privacy Policy.

7. Session and persistent cookies

Session cookies generally remain available only for the duration of a browser session and usually expire when the browser is closed.

Persistent cookies remain on a browser or device after the browser has been closed. They remain until their configured expiry date, until they are replaced or until they are deleted through the browser or device.

The lifespan of a cookie depends on its purpose and technical configuration. Some cookies may be renewed when you revisit the Website or use the relevant function. Cookies placed by third-party providers may have retention periods determined by those providers.

Your browser may allow you to view the domain, name, value and expiry date of cookies stored on your device.

Deleting a cookie does not necessarily delete information previously transmitted to and stored on our systems or on the systems of a third party. Requests concerning personal data already collected should be made in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

8. No separate cookie preference panel

The Website does not currently provide a separate or permanent cookie preference panel through which users can select, enable or disable individual categories of cookies.

Cookie preferences cannot therefore be reviewed or changed through an account dashboard or a dedicated “Cookie Settings” page on the Website. Users may instead manage cookies through the privacy and storage settings available in their browser or device.

Browser controls generally allow users to view, block or delete cookies, block third-party cookies, clear website data or create rules for particular websites. The precise controls and their names depend on the browser and device used.

Browser settings normally apply only to the particular browser, browser profile and device on which they were changed. You may therefore need to repeat the same action on every browser and device you use.

Clearing cookies may also remove stored preferences and cause notices or settings to be displayed or recorded again during a later visit.

This section does not limit any rights relating to consent, withdrawal of consent or objection that may apply under applicable law. The absence of a separate cookie preference panel does not itself remove any legal requirement concerning the use of cookies.

9. Managing cookies through your browser

Official instructions for viewing, blocking or deleting cookies are available from the relevant browser providers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Edge
• Safari on Mac
• Safari on iPhone and iPad

Some browsers also offer private browsing modes, tracking-protection functions or extensions that may restrict certain cookies or similar technologies. The availability and effectiveness of these functions depend on the browser, device, configuration and technology involved.

10. Consequences of blocking or deleting cookies

Blocking or deleting cookies may:

• sign you out of your account;
• reset language, display and video-player preferences;
• cause notices or messages to be displayed again;
• prevent certain account or security functions from operating;
• affect video playback, uploads or other requested functions;
• reduce the relevance of content recommendations;
• reduce the relevance of advertisements;
• affect our ability to measure and improve Website performance.

Blocking third-party cookies may affect only functions provided by third parties, but in some cases it may also affect the operation of embedded elements or other parts of the Website.

11. Consent and strictly necessary technologies

Certain cookies may be used without consent where this is permitted by applicable law, including where they are strictly necessary to carry out the transmission of a communication or to provide a service or function expressly requested by a user.

Functional, analytics, personalisation and advertising cookies are not automatically considered strictly necessary. Depending on their purpose, operation, the user’s location and applicable law, their use may require prior consent.

Where consent is required, merely continuing to browse the Website or reading this Cookie Policy does not by itself constitute consent.

If a separate consent notice is displayed during a visit, any choices made through that notice may be stored in the relevant browser or device. The Website does not, however, provide a separate permanent preference panel through which those choices can subsequently be reviewed or modified.

You may delete stored cookies and locally recorded choices through your browser settings. Deleting them may cause the Website to treat a later visit as a new visit.

12. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to the Website, technologies, service providers, legal requirements or our practices.

The date displayed at the beginning of this Policy indicates when it was most recently updated. Where required by applicable law, additional notice may be provided before a material change takes effect.

13. Further information and contact
