Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on https://managefc.com, why we use them and how you can control them. It complements our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit it. Cookies allow the website to remember information about your visit, such as your login session, your preferred currency or whether you have accepted the cookie banner. Similar technologies (local storage, session storage, pixel tags, SDKs) serve comparable purposes; in this policy we refer to all of them as "cookies".
2. Categories we use
We group cookies in four categories. Strictly necessarycookies do not require consent; all other categories (Functional, Analytics, Advertising) are only loaded or used after you accept them in our cookie banner, which appears on your first visit. You can change your choice at any time with the "Cookie preferences" button in the footer, or by clearing the mfc_cookie_consent cookie.

3. How to manage consent
You control non-essential cookies in two ways:
- In ManageFC: open the cookie banner (footer link "Cookies") and grant or withdraw consent per category;
- In your browser: most browsers let you block or delete cookies in the privacy settings; check the help pages of Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge for the latest steps. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the service (you may not be able to log in).
To opt out of personalised advertising specifically, you can also use:
- Google: Ad Settings;
- DAA (U.S.): optout.aboutads.info;
- EDAA (EU): youronlinechoices.eu.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our cookie usage evolves. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates the latest revision. Material changes will be communicated in the same way as for the Privacy Policy.
