Cookie Policy.
Introduction
A cookie is a tiny element of data that a website can send to a visitor’s browser so that their computer will be recognised when they return. Cookies allow our web server to identify a computer when it connects to the Site, which speeds up the loading of pages for returning visitors. Additionally, cookies may help us gather statistics about how people use the Site—such as the most visited pages, time spent on each page, or overall site performance. By collecting and analysing this data, we aim to improve the Site’s quality and experience.
The data collected by our servers and/or through cookies will not be kept longer than necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in our Privacy Policy. In any case, such data will not be retained for more than one year.
Navigation data is automatically collected by our servers. If you prefer not to have this data collected, we recommend not using the Site. Visitors can also adjust their browser settings to block cookies from being saved to their computer. Most browsers allow you to be notified when a cookie is being set, or to block all cookies. However, for the best experience, we recommend allowing cookies from our Site.
All Forge servers and systems are secured to prevent external intrusions. Any cookie-related data collected about Site visitors is protected from unauthorised access.
We may use cookies to identify users when they access personalised services. In such cases, cookies may be stored on your device even after closing the browser. These cookies help us create a profile of our users and tailor the Site experience.
To learn more about cookies, visit the Information Commissioner’s Office or the Interactive Advertising Bureau.
Visitors may choose to disable cookies via their browser settings. The procedure varies by browser—please consult your browser's help documentation or contact your software provider for instructions.
Transfer of User Data Outside the User Jurisdiction
The Internet is global. To operate the Site, we may need to transfer personal data to locations outside the visitor’s jurisdiction (the “User Jurisdiction”) for processing. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), please note that data may be processed or accessed in jurisdictions outside the EEA, which may not offer the same level of data protection.
That said, Forge will take steps to ensure compliance with relevant legal rules for any such transfer.
By continuing to use the Site and submitting personal data (including sensitive data) via the Site or to email addresses provided, you consent to such transfers, as long as they align with the purposes described in this policy and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this, please do not provide us with your personal data.

You are not required to register to access the Site. Any personally identifiable information you provide to Forge via the Site is done so voluntarily.
If you later choose to unsubscribe from mailing lists or services, you can follow the instructions provided on the Site or in our communications. Alternatively, you can contact us directly at [email protected].

Each visitor has the right to access their personal data submitted through this Site.
If you'd like to review or request the removal of your data, please contact [email protected].
Security
All Forge staff adhere to strict internal security protocols. Only authorised personnel are granted access to personally identifiable information, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of this information.
Modifications
Forge reserves the right to modify or update this policy at any time. The latest effective date will always be shown at the top of this page. If any material changes are made, Forge will notify users by placing a clear notice and a link to the updated policy on our homepage for at least two weeks.
