The ActionFunder platform uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of the platform. This helps us to provide you with an enhanced user experience when you browse our platform and also allows us to improve our platform.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your browser or the hard drive of your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. Cookies may also tell us, for example, whether you have visited our platform before or whether you are a new visitor.
We use the following cookies:
- Essential cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our platform. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into your ActionFunder account.
- Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our platform. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of location or focus area).
- Analytical or performance cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our platform when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our platform works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
- Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our platform, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed to enable us to show you more relevant ads. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose only.
