The Channel Company collects data about your browsing activity on our network. This Cookie Policy explains when and why cookies are used by The Channel Company on our websites, applications, advertisements, and related services.
The Channel Company is respectful of data privacy and adopts best practice in compliance with applicable privacy law and regulations, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), and other applicable data protection laws.

What is a Cookie?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer via your web browser and allow servers hosting website content to recognise visitors and remember their activity. Cookies may last for just the duration of your visit or they may last for longer, allowing the server to recognise visitors over multiple visits. Cookies are stored separately for each web browser you use, and cookies stored via one browser will not usually be available via other web browsers on the same device.
Why do we use Cookies?
Certain cookies contain personal information. For example, if you click on a "remember me" button when you login, a cookie will store your username or other unique identifier. Most cookies will not collect information that personally identifies you. They will collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use our websites, or a user's general location.
Consent Management
This website uses a consent management tool provided by Didomi SAS, whose registered office is at 137 Boulevard Sébastopol, 75002 Paris, France, registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Registry under number 831 722 756 ("Didomi"). The consent tool enables users of our website to give consent to certain data processing procedures or to revoke consent they have given. By confirming the "Accept all" button or by saving individual cookie settings, you consent to the use of the associated cookies. This action constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Didomi processes the following data in the course of consent management: IP address, unique ID, the cookie consent text file of the respective user, and information on the user's device and browser. The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to design the consent management centrally and clearly and to offer the website visitor the website only insofar as consent has been given to the processing of personal data and the processing of information on the user's terminal device.
The consent management tool also helps us provide proof of consent. For this purpose, we process information on the declaration of consent and further log data. The legal basis results from our legal obligation to document consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c in conjunction with Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR).
