What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to remember your preferences and activity, keep the site working, and improve your experience. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels, which we refer to together as “cookies” in this policy.
Cookies can be grouped in a few ways:
- Session cookies are temporary and are removed when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies stay on your device until they expire or you delete them.
- First-party cookies are set by FinderExpo.
- Third-party cookies are set by services we work with, such as analytics providers, and are governed by their own policies.

- Preference: remember choices such as language, theme, and the shows you save.
- Analytics: help us understand how the platform is used so we can improve it. Enabled only after you consent.
