What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Each cookie contains a string of characters that uniquely identifies your browser or device.

Cookies allow websites and services to recognise your device on return visits and to remember information about your preferences and behaviour. They are used to help you navigate between pages efficiently, remember your settings, understand how the site is being used, and improve your overall browsing experience.

Our lawful basis for using cookies
Where cookies involve the processing of personal data, Curated Shorts relies on your consent as the lawful basis under the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR).

You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences or browser settings (see below).
How long will cookies stay on my device?
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a "session" or "persistent" cookie. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they reach their expiry date or you delete them manually.
