This Cookie Policy explains how Hyranse Ltd ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit www.hyranse.com (the "Website"). It explains what cookies are, why we use them, the legal basis for processing, your rights, and how you can control them.

2. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently, improve performance, and provide reporting information. They may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties such as analytics or advertising providers ("third-party cookies").
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage for the same purposes described below.

For non-essential cookies, we obtain your prior consent before any such cookie is placed on your device, in accordance with the ePrivacy Directive. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time with future effect, as described in Section 8.

- Understand how visitors use our services and improve the user experience (analytics, consent);
- Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and deliver relevant advertisements (marketing, consent).
We do not use cookies to identify you personally beyond the purposes described in this policy, and we do not sell your personal data.
6. Third-party cookies and data sharing
Some cookies are placed by third-party service providers we engage. Where we use third-party services, they may act as processors on our behalf. We list the main providers and links to their privacy policies below:

7. International data transfers
Some of our analytics and marketing providers process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (for example, in the United States). We transfer personal data outside the EEA/UK only under appropriate safeguards, such as:
- An adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission; or
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, supplemented where required by additional measures (including, for US-based providers, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework).
A copy of the relevant safeguards is available on request from our Data Protection contact (Section 12).
8. How to control cookies — your choices
You control which cookies are stored on your device in the following ways:
Via our cookie banner. When you first visit the Website, a banner lets you choose to Accept all, Reject all, or Customise your preferences. In the preferences panel you can switch Analytics and Marketing cookies on or off individually. Strictly necessary cookies are always active and cannot be disabled.
Changing your choice later. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie settings" button available on every page in the website footer.
Via your browser. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Website from functioning correctly.
