This Cookie Policy explains how Statement the Agency (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our platform.

This Policy applies to all users globally and should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides further details on how we process personal data.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.

We rely on the following legal bases:

• All other cookies (functional, analytics, marketing) → Explicit user consent (opt-in)

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent as they are essential for the operation of the platform.
