Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help sites function correctly, remember preferences, and understand how visitors interact with content. Topline Ads uses cookies in a measured way aligned with UK privacy expectations and the transparency commitments set out in our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining until they expire or you delete them). We also reference local storage, which stores data in your browser without sending it on every request. Our cookie consent banner stores your choice in localStorage under the key cookie_consent so the notice does not reappear after you accept or dismiss it.

Similar technologies include pixels and server logs. These tools may record IP addresses, browser characteristics, and navigation paths. Where such data identifies you, it is treated as personal data under UK GDPR.

2. How we use cookies

We group cookies into the following categories:

• Strictly necessary: Required for core site operation, security, and load balancing. Without these cookies, forms and navigation may not work reliably.
• Functional: Remember choices such as cookie consent status and interface preferences to improve repeat visits.
• Analytics: Help us understand aggregated traffic patterns — popular pages, referral sources, and error rates — so we can improve content and performance.
• Marketing: May be used to measure campaign effectiveness if we run promoted content linking to this site. We do not use invasive cross-site profiling on this marketing website.

3. Cookies we may set

The table below describes representative cookies and storage entries used on topline-ads.com. Actual names may vary slightly following platform updates:

• cookie_consent (localStorage): Stores whether you accepted or dismissed the cookie banner. Duration: until cleared manually. Purpose: consent management.
• session_id (session cookie): Maintains temporary session integrity for form anti-abuse measures. Duration: browser session. Purpose: security.
• _analytics (persistent cookie): Aggregated visit statistics if analytics are enabled. Duration: up to thirteen months. Purpose: performance measurement.

Third-party content — such as embedded store badges linking to Google Play — may set their own cookies when you follow those links. We do not control third-party cookies and encourage you to review the policies of external platforms you visit.

4. Legal basis

Strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis of legitimate interests in providing a secure, functional website. Analytics and marketing cookies, where deployed, rely on your consent obtained through our cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing site data in your browser; the banner will appear again on your next visit.

5. Managing your preferences

You can control cookies through our on-site banner by selecting "Accept" or "Close". Additionally, most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via settings. Blocking all cookies may impact site functionality, including form validation feedback and saved consent choices.

For guidance on browser controls, consult the help documentation for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. Mobile users may find cookie settings within operating system privacy menus.

6. Do Not Track signals

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. There is no uniform industry standard for responding to DNT. We currently do not alter processing solely based on DNT, but we minimise data collection on this marketing site and honour explicit cookie choices you make through our banner.

7. Updates

We may revise this Cookie Policy when we add features, change analytics providers, or update legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change accordingly. Material updates may also be referenced in our privacy notices.

8. Contact

Questions about cookies or this policy may be sent to privacy@topline-ads.com or by post to Topline Ads, Westfield Stratford City, Montfichet Road, London E20 1EJ, United Kingdom. We aim to respond within ten business days.
