Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Triagiftcardbalance uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with the website. It describes the categories of cookies that may be used, the purpose of each category, the way consent choices may apply, and the options available to users for managing preferences. This policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy because some cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of personal data when linked to a device, browser, or online identifier.

2. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on a user’s device when a website is visited. Similar technologies may include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, scripts, or other identifiers used to recognise a browser or device in a consistent way. These technologies may be used for technical operation, remembering settings, measuring page activity, or supporting content delivery functions connected to the website. Some of these technologies are necessary for core operation, while others are optional and depend on the user’s consent choice where required.

3. How Cookies May Be Used

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to support page loading, maintain session continuity, remember selected preferences, record consent choices, review technical performance, measure page interaction, and manage limited content delivery settings. Their use depends on the role of the cookie and the way the website is configured at the time of access. Not every cookie category is necessarily active at all times, and some may apply only if the user makes a relevant preference selection.

4. Necessary Cookies

Necessary cookies are used for essential website functions. These may include security-related operation, session handling, load balancing, page navigation continuity, and storage of privacy or cookie preferences selected by the user. These cookies are generally required for the website to function correctly and therefore do not depend on optional consent in the same way as non-essential categories. Necessary cookies may be session-based or may remain for a limited period where needed for a core website function.

5. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies are used to remember settings or choices made by the user, where such features are available on the site. This may include language settings, interface preferences, or similar choices that change the way content is displayed. Functional cookies are not always essential to the basic operation of the website, but they may help maintain consistency between visits or across pages. Where required, these cookies are used only after the user has made the relevant consent choice.

6. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies may be used to collect information about how users interact with the website. This can include page views, navigation paths, approximate session information, device type, browser type, and general interaction patterns. The purpose of analytics cookies is to support internal review of website structure, page relevance, and technical performance. Analytics cookies are optional where consent is required, and they are activated only after a valid user choice has been recorded.

7. Advertising Cookies

Advertising cookies may be used to record information connected to content display, campaign measurement, or limited relevance-based content settings on other online environments. These technologies may track browser activity across websites or across content sessions where configured for that purpose. Advertising cookies are optional and are used only if the user has given the required consent. Refusal of advertising cookies does not prevent access to the informational content of the website.

8. Cookie Duration

Cookies may remain on a device for different periods depending on their technical role. Session cookies expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain until a specified expiry date or until they are manually removed by the user through browser settings or device controls. The duration assigned to a cookie depends on its configuration and the function it performs. Where more detailed technical information is presented through a cookie banner or preference panel, that information forms part of the user’s cookie notice at the time the choice is made.

9. Consent and Preference Management

Where consent is required for cookies or similar technologies, the website provides a mechanism for users to accept, refuse, or adjust their preferences before optional cookies are activated. Optional categories are not enabled by default through pre-selected choices. Users may also return to the relevant settings interface, where available, to change their preferences or withdraw consent. Browser controls may also allow cookies to be blocked, deleted, or restricted, although this may affect some aspects of site operation where cookies are necessary for core technical functions.

10. Third-Party Technologies

Some cookies or similar technologies may be associated with third-party service providers used for website hosting, technical performance review, analytics configuration, security support, or content delivery. Where such providers are involved, their access to cookie-related information is limited to the relevant operational purpose. If personal data is processed through those technologies, that processing is addressed in the Privacy Policy and handled in line with the applicable data protection requirements.

11. Updates to This Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to website configuration, cookie categories, consent tools, legal context, or related technical processes. The latest version is identified by the Last Updated date shown at the top of this page.
