We keep our cookie usage minimal and purposeful. No advertising cookies. No cross-site tracking.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences, understand how you navigate the site, and — in some cases — track your behaviour for advertising purposes.
We believe in transparency about how cookies are used on our site. This policy explains exactly which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control or disable them.
The Digital Hype® website uses only two categories of cookies:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Data Collected | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential for the website to work correctly — navigation, form submission, and basic site functionality. | Session state, form inputs (not stored beyond the session) | Session only | |
| We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use our website — which pages are most visited, where traffic comes from, and how long people stay. This helps us improve our content and user experience. | Pages visited, session duration, browser type, approximate geographic location (city-level), referral source. All data is aggregated and anonymised — no personal identifiers. | Up to 2 years (Google Analytics standard) |
