1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how DrinkLoyal Ltd ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website and mobile applications (collectively, "Services"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
By continuing to use our Services, you are agreeing to our use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work efficiently and provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, DrinkLoyal) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
3. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Services to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Services. Third parties serve cookies through our Services for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Services and the purposes they perform include:
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Services and to use some of their features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.

These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Services but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.
3.3 Analytics and Customization Cookies
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Services are being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Services for you.
3.4 Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
3.5 Social Media Cookies
These cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Services through third-party social networking and other websites. These cookies may also be used for advertising purposes.
