Korespa Cookie Policy

Last updated: 31 August 2026

1. About This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Korespa uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our websites, publications and digital services.

It explains:

  • what cookies and similar technologies are;
  • why they may be used;
  • which types of cookies we use;
  • how advertising technologies may operate;
  • how Google and other advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies;
  • how you can accept, reject or manage non-essential technologies;
  • how you can change your privacy choices at any time.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

Korespa operates an international website. We therefore seek to apply strong privacy standards based principally on applicable European Union and United Kingdom privacy and electronic communications legislation, while also providing additional privacy controls where required in other jurisdictions.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of information that a website or service may store on your browser or device.

Cookies can perform many different functions.

For example, they can:

  • make a website work correctly;
  • maintain security;
  • remember user preferences;
  • remember consent choices;
  • measure website performance;
  • understand how users interact with content;
  • prevent fraud;
  • limit how frequently an advertisement is displayed;
  • measure advertising performance;
  • support personalised advertising where legally permitted and consented to.

Cookies may be created directly by Korespa or by third-party services integrated into Korespa.

3. Similar Technologies

This Policy also applies, where relevant, to technologies that perform similar functions to cookies.

These may include:

  • local storage;
  • browser storage;
  • pixels;
  • tags;
  • scripts;
  • SDKs;
  • web beacons;
  • advertising identifiers;
  • device identifiers;
  • conversion measurement technologies;
  • anti-fraud technologies.

References in this Policy to “cookies” may therefore also include similar technologies where appropriate.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies

First-party cookies are associated directly with Korespa or its website infrastructure.

They may be used for purposes such as:

  • essential website functionality;
  • security;
  • user preferences;
  • language preferences;
  • consent management;
  • website operation.

Third-party cookies and technologies

Some functionality available through Korespa is provided by external organisations.

These organisations may use their own technologies in connection with services such as:

  • advertising;
  • analytics;
  • multimedia;
  • embedded content;
  • security;
  • content delivery;
  • measurement;
  • social media;
  • interactive functionality.

Where legally required, these technologies will be subject to the user’s consent choices.

5. Categories of Cookies and Technologies We Use

Korespa may use the following categories.

5.1 Strictly Necessary

These technologies are required for fundamental website functionality, security or to provide a service specifically requested by the user.

They may include technologies required for:

  • website security;
  • fraud prevention;
  • network management;
  • load balancing;
  • maintaining a user session;
  • saving privacy choices;
  • remembering whether a consent request has been answered;
  • preventing repeated consent messages where appropriate.

Where applicable law permits these technologies without consent, they may operate automatically.

Strictly necessary technologies cannot normally be disabled through our cookie preference controls because doing so could prevent parts of Korespa from working correctly.

6. Preferences and Functionality

Functional technologies may allow Korespa to remember choices made by users.

These may include:

  • language;
  • region;
  • interface preferences;
  • accessibility settings;
  • content preferences.

Where consent is legally required for these technologies, they will remain disabled until the appropriate choice has been made.

7. Analytics and Measurement

Analytics technologies help us understand how Korespa is being used.

They may collect information concerning:

  • pages viewed;
  • approximate visit duration;
  • navigation between pages;
  • referring websites;
  • general device type;
  • browser type;
  • approximate geographical information;
  • website errors;
  • performance information.

We may use this information to:

  • improve Korespa;
  • identify technical problems;
  • understand which content is useful;
  • improve navigation;
  • analyse overall audience trends;
  • measure website performance.

Where legally required, analytics technologies will not be activated until the user has provided the required consent.

Where appropriate, Korespa may use privacy-enhancing, aggregated or limited measurement technologies.

8. Advertising

Advertising helps support Korespa and allows us to provide editorial content and services.

Korespa currently uses or may use advertising services supplied by Google.

We may also work with other advertising providers in the future.

Advertising technologies may be used for purposes including:

  • displaying advertisements;
  • selecting advertisements;
  • contextual advertising;
  • personalised advertising where permitted;
  • measuring advertisement performance;
  • limiting how often an advertisement is shown;
  • preventing invalid advertising traffic;
  • detecting advertising fraud;
  • reporting aggregated advertising statistics.

The exact technologies used may vary depending on:

  • the user’s country;
  • consent choices;
  • advertising configuration;
  • browser;
  • device;
  • applicable legislation;
  • advertising provider.

9. Google Advertising

Korespa uses, or may use, Google publisher advertising services such as Google AdSense and/or Google Ad Manager.

When advertisements supplied by Google are displayed, Google and participating advertising technology providers may process information or use technologies such as:

  • cookies;
  • browser storage;
  • IP addresses;
  • advertising identifiers;
  • device information;
  • browser information;
  • pixels;
  • tags;
  • measurement technologies.

Google determines many of the technical details of the cookies and technologies used within its advertising services.

These technologies may change as Google’s services, security systems and advertising technologies evolve.

For that reason, this Cookie Policy does not attempt to provide a permanent or exhaustive list of every individual cookie that Google may use.

Users can obtain further information through Google’s privacy, advertising and technology documentation and, where applicable, through the advertising provider information displayed within the consent management interface.

10. Personalised Advertising

Where permitted by applicable law and where the necessary consent has been obtained, Google or other authorised advertising providers may use information to provide advertisements that are considered more relevant to a user.

This may involve information relating to interests or previous online interactions.

Personalised advertising will only be enabled where the applicable requirements for consent or another valid legal condition have been satisfied.

Users who do not consent to personalised advertising may still see advertisements.

11. Non-Personalised Advertising

Where personalised advertising is not permitted or has not been selected, Korespa may display non-personalised or contextual advertising where legally and technically permitted.

Non-personalised advertising may be selected using information such as:

  • the content currently being viewed;
  • general geographical information;
  • basic device information;
  • current search or page context.

Non-personalised advertising does not necessarily mean that no cookies or similar technologies are used.

Advertising providers may still use certain technologies for purposes such as:

  • frequency capping;
  • aggregated advertising reporting;
  • fraud prevention;
  • security;
  • invalid traffic detection;
  • technical advertisement delivery.

Where consent for such technologies is required by applicable law, Korespa and its advertising providers will seek the necessary consent before using them.

12. Google Consent Management

For users in jurisdictions where additional consent requirements apply, including the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google advertising may be subject to Google’s consent-management requirements.

Google may provide or require a consent management mechanism that identifies participating advertising technology providers and the purposes for which data may be processed.

Depending on Korespa’s advertising configuration, this may be provided through:

  • Google’s own consent management solution;
  • a Google-certified Consent Management Platform;
  • technologies compatible with the applicable IAB Transparency and Consent Framework.

The specific advertising providers available through Google may change over time.

Where applicable, the current provider list and processing purposes presented within the consent interface should be considered the most current description of the advertising providers involved in the relevant advertising request.

13. Korespa Consent and Privacy Controls

Korespa may use its own website functionality or plugin to manage privacy settings and preferences.

This system may be responsible for functions including:

  • displaying privacy information;
  • storing category choices;
  • remembering consent preferences;
  • preventing optional Korespa technologies from loading before consent;
  • providing access to privacy settings;
  • allowing users to withdraw or modify consent.

Where Google advertising requires a Google-certified consent mechanism, Google’s required consent system or an appropriately certified CMP may operate alongside or integrate with Korespa’s privacy controls.

Korespa does not represent that its own cookie-management software is independently certified by Google unless such certification has actually been obtained.

14. European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland

For users in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland, Korespa seeks to ensure that technologies requiring consent are not activated before appropriate consent has been obtained.

Users should be provided with an appropriate opportunity to:

  • accept relevant technologies;
  • reject non-essential technologies;
  • make more detailed choices where appropriate;
  • review participating advertising providers;
  • withdraw or modify consent.

Where required for Google advertising services, Korespa will use a consent management mechanism compatible with Google’s applicable publisher requirements.

15. Rejecting Cookies

Users are not required to consent to non-essential technologies merely in order to access ordinary Korespa editorial content, except where a particular feature genuinely requires the relevant technology.

Rejecting optional technologies may result in:

  • less personalised functionality;
  • contextual rather than personalised advertising;
  • reduced analytics information;
  • certain third-party embedded services being unavailable until consent is provided.

Rejecting advertising personalisation does not necessarily mean that advertisements will disappear.

16. Changing Your Choices

Users can review or change their privacy choices at any time.

Korespa provides, or intends to provide, a permanent link such as:

Manage Cookies

or:

Privacy Choices

through the website footer or another readily accessible location.

Changing or withdrawing consent will apply to future processing governed by that consent.

Withdrawal does not affect processing that lawfully occurred before consent was withdrawn.

17. Browser Controls

Most browsers provide controls that allow users to:

  • view cookies;
  • delete cookies;
  • block certain cookies;
  • block third-party cookies;
  • clear browser storage;
  • configure privacy preferences.

Blocking all cookies at browser level may cause certain Korespa features or other websites to operate incorrectly.

Browser controls operate separately from Korespa’s own privacy choices.

18. Global Privacy Control and Similar Signals

Some browsers or browser extensions may transmit privacy preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC).

Where applicable law requires Korespa or participating services to recognise a legally valid privacy preference signal, we will seek to respect that signal in accordance with applicable requirements.

The effect of such a signal may depend on:

  • jurisdiction;
  • browser;
  • device;
  • service provider;
  • applicable advertising technology.

19. United States Advertising Privacy Choices

Certain US state privacy laws use terms such as:

  • sale;
  • sharing;
  • targeted advertising;
  • cross-context behavioural advertising.

These terms can have legal meanings that are broader than an ordinary commercial “sale” of information.

As a result, some advertising technology activities may qualify as “sharing”, “targeted advertising” or a similar regulated activity under applicable US state law.

Where such legislation applies to Korespa, eligible users will be provided with the legally required privacy choices.

These may include the ability to opt out of qualifying:

  • sale;
  • sharing;
  • targeted advertising;
  • cross-context behavioural advertising.

Users may exercise applicable choices through Korespa’s Privacy Choices interface or another mechanism provided for that purpose.

20. Embedded Third-Party Content

Korespa may include third-party content such as:

  • videos;
  • maps;
  • social media content;
  • interactive tools;
  • multimedia players;
  • other embedded services.

These services may use cookies or similar technologies.

Where consent is required before an embedded provider may access or store information on a user’s device, Korespa may prevent that content from loading until the user provides the relevant consent.

A placeholder or privacy notice may be displayed instead.

21. Advertising Technology Providers

Google advertising may involve multiple advertising technology providers.

The particular providers involved can vary according to:

  • Google’s advertising systems;
  • advertising demand;
  • geographical location;
  • consent;
  • Korespa’s advertising configuration.

Where required, information about these providers will be available through the applicable consent management interface.

Korespa may also select, restrict or change advertising providers where the relevant advertising platform provides this functionality.

22. Future Advertising Partners

Korespa may use advertising services from providers other than Google in the future.

Before introducing technologies that materially change how user information is processed, Korespa will assess whether:

  • this Cookie Policy requires updating;
  • the Privacy Policy requires updating;
  • additional consent is required;
  • the consent interface requires modification;
  • additional vendors must be disclosed;
  • additional opt-out mechanisms are required.

New advertising technologies requiring consent should not be treated as automatically authorised by consent previously obtained for unrelated purposes.

23. Changes to Cookies and Technologies

Internet technologies evolve continuously.

Individual cookies may therefore:

  • change name;
  • change duration;
  • be replaced;
  • be removed;
  • be introduced;
  • have their technical implementation modified.

Third-party providers may also modify their technologies independently of Korespa.

For this reason, Korespa periodically reviews the technologies used on its website and updates this Policy or its consent configuration where reasonably necessary.

24. Cookie Duration

Cookies can generally be classified as:

Session cookies

These normally expire when the browser session ends.

Persistent cookies

These can remain on a device for a defined period or until they are manually deleted.

The exact duration depends on the particular technology and provider.

Where a consent interface provides more detailed information concerning a particular cookie or provider, that information may provide the most current applicable duration.

25. Consent Records

Where appropriate, Korespa or its consent provider may maintain information demonstrating a user’s privacy choices.

This may include information such as:

  • consent status;
  • categories selected;
  • consent timestamp;
  • privacy notice or configuration version;
  • applicable region;
  • consent string or identifier where required by an advertising framework.

Consent records are maintained only for legitimate compliance, security and operational purposes and should not be retained longer than reasonably necessary.

26. Security and Fraud Prevention

Certain cookies, identifiers or similar technologies may be required to:

  • protect Korespa;
  • detect malicious traffic;
  • prevent fraud;
  • prevent advertising fraud;
  • identify invalid traffic;
  • protect advertising systems;
  • maintain network and service security.

Where applicable law provides an exemption for a technology that is genuinely necessary for security or service operation, consent may not be required.

Any such exemption will be interpreted appropriately and will not be used merely to bypass consent requirements for advertising or tracking.

27. Children and Advertising Technologies

Korespa recognises that children and young people may require enhanced privacy protection.

Where we know that a service or content is directed to children, or where applicable legislation or advertising platform requirements impose additional protections, Korespa will seek to apply the appropriate privacy controls.

Korespa does not knowingly enable personalised advertising based on children’s personal information where such processing is prohibited.

28. Responsibility of Third-Party Providers

Third-party providers, including Google, are responsible for their own processing activities to the extent determined by applicable data protection law.

Korespa does not directly control all technical processing carried out within a third-party provider’s infrastructure.

However, Korespa remains responsible for taking appropriate steps concerning the services it chooses to integrate into its website, including:

  • providing appropriate information;
  • implementing required consent mechanisms;
  • configuring services appropriately;
  • reviewing providers where reasonably necessary;
  • respecting applicable user privacy choices.

Use of a third-party provider does not by itself transfer all privacy responsibilities from Korespa to that provider.

29. Updates to This Cookie Policy

Korespa may update this Cookie Policy when:

  • legislation changes;
  • regulatory guidance changes;
  • technologies change;
  • Google or another provider changes its requirements;
  • advertising providers are added or removed;
  • Korespa changes how cookies or similar technologies are used.

The date at the beginning of this Policy shows when it was last updated.

Material changes will be communicated where required by applicable law.
