This Cookie Policy explains how N1CM ("we", "us", "our", or the "Company") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at n1cm.com. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides detailed information about how we collect and process your personal data.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website operators to make their websites function properly, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting and analytics information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, N1CM) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics, advertising, and interactive content.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for the following purposes:
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic security features. Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly, and they cannot be disabled.

The data collected by these cookies is used solely to improve the performance and user experience of our website.

These cookies may also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customisable elements of our web pages.

Targeting cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement, measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, and track whether you have visited an advertiser's website. These cookies are typically placed by our advertising partners with our permission.

In addition to cookies, we may use other tracking technologies on our website:
Web beacons are tiny, invisible graphic images (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") embedded in web pages or emails. We use web beacons to track whether emails have been opened and links have been clicked, to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, and to compile statistics about website usage.
We may use browser local storage and session storage to store data locally on your device. Local storage is similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of data and does not expire automatically. We use local storage to save your preferences, cache content for faster loading, and enhance the functionality of our trading tools.
We may collect certain technical information about your device, such as browser type, operating system, screen resolution, installed plugins, and time zone, to create a unique device identifier. This information is used for fraud prevention, security purposes, and to detect and prevent unauthorised access to accounts.
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (except for essential cookies, which are necessary for our website to function). You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:
When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about your visit activity.
You can opt out of targeted advertising from participating companies through the following industry opt-out mechanisms:
Please note that opting out of targeted advertising does not mean you will no longer see advertisements. You will still receive generic advertisements that are not tailored to your interests.
Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time, our website does not respond to DNT signals. However, you can manage your tracking preferences using the cookie management options described in Section 5 above.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services. This Cookie Policy applies only to our website and does not cover third-party websites or services. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the cookies or tracking technologies used by third-party websites. We encourage you to review the cookie policies of any third-party websites you visit.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies, changes in technology, or changes in applicable laws and regulations. When we make material changes, we will post the updated policy on our website with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
