Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how the Embassy Row Project ("Organization," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Platform at jamesscotticit.expert. This Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

This Policy is compliant with the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC as amended), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679, the UK GDPR, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide analytical information to website operators.

Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and session storage, which function in comparable ways to cookies. This Policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as "cookies."

1. Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These cookies are required for the Platform to function and cannot be disabled. They include session management cookies that maintain your browsing session, security tokens that protect against cross-site request forgery, and cookies that remember your cookie consent preferences. These cookies do not collect personal data for marketing purposes.

2. Analytics Cookies (Performance)
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the Platform, including which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on pages, and how visitors navigate between pages. This information is collected in aggregated, anonymized form and is used solely to improve Platform performance and content relevance. Analytics data is processed by our analytics provider and is not used for advertising or profiling purposes.

3. Functional Cookies (Preference)
Functional cookies remember your preferences and settings to provide a more personalized experience. These may include theme preferences (light/dark mode), language settings, and previously visited page history within the Platform.

4. Marketing Cookies
At present, the Organization does not use marketing or advertising cookies. If this changes, this Policy will be updated and consent will be obtained prior to deployment of any marketing cookies.

The following cookies are currently in use on the Platform:

Essential cookies are deployed on the legal basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract / provision of the requested service) and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in maintaining Platform security and functionality). These cookies do not require your consent.

Analytics and functional cookies are deployed on the legal basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (your explicit consent). For visitors located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions requiring opt-in consent for non-essential cookies, we obtain your explicit consent before deploying these cookies through our cookie consent banner.

For visitors in California under the CCPA/CPRA, analytics cookies may be deployed by default with the option to opt out. California residents may exercise their right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information through the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" mechanism available in the Platform's cookie settings.

Consent records are maintained with a timestamp and the version of the Policy in effect at the time of consent. You may request a copy of your consent record through the contact form.

You may withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time through the following mechanisms:

• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions.
• Platform consent tool: Where a consent management tool is available on the Platform, you may update your preferences at any time.
• Analytics opt-out: You may opt out of analytics tracking by installing the relevant browser opt-out tool provided by our analytics provider.

Please note that disabling essential cookies may impair the functionality of the Platform. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to access content.

Third-party services integrated into the Platform (such as payment processors) may set their own cookies. These cookies are governed by the respective third party's cookie and privacy policies. The Organization does not control third-party cookies and is not responsible for their content or practices.

Where analytics data is processed by a third-party analytics provider located outside the European Economic Area, the Organization ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place for cross-border data transfers, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or equivalent mechanisms.

This Cookie Policy may be updated at any time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or applicable legal requirements. The effective date will be revised upon each update. We will notify you of material changes through a notice on the Platform.

This Cookie Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States. EU/EEA residents may also have rights under applicable EU data protection law.
