What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser on subsequent visits and store small pieces of information such as your language or theme preference. Similar technologies, such as local storage and session storage, work in analogous ways and are covered by this policy.

Third-party embeds
Set by third-party services embedded in the Platform (e.g. embedded social widgets). These cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the respective third parties.

How to Control Cookies
Cookie banner. When you first visit SkinJudge, you can accept or reject optional cookies via the consent banner. You can change your choice at any time from the cookie preferences link in the footer.
