COOKIE POLICY
Last updated: June 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies are used on thechief.pro (the “Site”), for what purposes, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process personal data more generally.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Similar technologies — such as local storage, session storage, pixels, and software development kits — perform comparable functions and are covered by this Policy under the generic term “cookies”.
2. How We Use Cookies
We group the cookies we use into three categories:
- Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function. They support core functionality such as page navigation, session continuity, and storage of your consent preferences. These cookies are always active and do not require your consent because the Site cannot operate without them.
- Analytics cookies let us measure traffic patterns and page views in aggregate so that we can understand which content is most useful and improve the Site. Analytics cookies are only set after you give your consent through the cookie banner or the preference centre.
- Marketing cookies are used to personalise content and to measure the effectiveness of campaigns across third-party platforms. Marketing cookies are only set after you give your consent.
3. Cookies Currently in Use

Cookie names, providers, and durations may change over time as we add or remove functionality. We will keep this table accurate to the best of our ability.
4. Managing Cookies
You can review or change your consent at any time. Use the preference centre below, or click the cookie icon in the bottom-right corner of any page to reopen it. You can also block or delete cookies directly through your browser settings — see the help pages for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge. Please note that blocking essential cookies may impair the basic functionality of the Site.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some of the cookies listed above are set by third parties — in particular, analytics and marketing providers such as Google and Meta. When you grant consent to those categories, the relevant third-party scripts are loaded and the providers may receive technical information about your visit, including your IP address. These providers process your data under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The current version is always available on this page, with the “Last updated” date at the top reflecting the most recent revision.
