1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Cinemania ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our websites, mobile applications, and services (collectively, the "Services").

It explains what cookies are, which types we use (and don't use), and your choices for controlling them.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide usage information.

First-party cookies are set directly by us.
Third-party cookies are set by others (e.g., YouTube, analytics providers) when their content or functionality is embedded in our Services.
We also use local storage and similar technologies to achieve similar purposes (e.g., remembering authentication state).

3. Our Approach to Cookies

We believe in privacy by design.
We do not use cookies for advertising, cross-site tracking, or behavioral profiling.
We only use essential cookies and limited functionality cookies needed for authentication and media playback.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

4.1 Essential Cookies

These are strictly necessary for our Services to function. Without them, you would not be able to log in, purchase NFTs, invest in film projects, or access your account securely.

Examples include:

Supabase authentication cookies – to keep you signed in securely
Google Auth session cookies (if you log in via Google) – to recognize you and establish your session
Security cookies – to protect accounts, detect fraud, and maintain platform integrity

These cannot be switched off, as they are required for basic operation.

4.2 Functionality Cookies

These enable additional features and personalization. For example:

YouTube embedded trailers – If you watch a trailer hosted on YouTube, YouTube may set cookies to enable playback and remember your preferences. These are controlled by YouTube, not Cinemania.

If you do not allow these, some embedded content may not function properly.

4.3 Performance & Analytics Cookies

We currently do not use performance or analytics cookies. If we introduce them in the future, we will update this Policy and request your consent through a cookie banner.

5. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and local storage to:

Authenticate and keep you signed in (Supabase and Google Auth)
Maintain platform security and prevent fraudulent logins
Enable playback of third-party hosted trailers (e.g., YouTube)
Remember limited user settings and preferences (e.g., cookie consent choice)

We do not use cookies for targeted advertising.

6. Your Choices

You control whether to accept or reject cookies (other than essential ones required for security and login).

Cookie Banner / Settings: Where required, you can adjust your preferences using our cookie consent tool.
Browser Controls: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. If you block essential cookies, some Services may not function correctly (e.g., login).
Third-Party Controls: If you watch a YouTube video on our platform, you can manage YouTube's cookies via your Google account settings.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our Services evolve. If we make material changes, we will notify you via our website or by email.
