How cookies support security, analytics, and preferences
This page explains which cookies and related technologies we use, when consent applies, and how you can manage preferences across the platform.
GETDIGITALCONTENT COOKIE POLICY
One Cube Technologies LLC, a Texas limited liability company doing business as GetDigitalContent ("GDC," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the GetDigitalContent platform ("Platform"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy and is incorporated into our Terms and Conditions.
WHAT ARE COOKIES
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website operators to make their websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply reporting and analytics information.
Cookies set by the website operator (in this case, GetDigitalContent) are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by external services (such as analytics, advertising, and interactive content).
We also use related technologies including local storage (HTML5), session storage, and pixel tags/web beacons, which function similarly to cookies for data collection and tracking purposes. References to "cookies" in this policy include these related technologies.

For California users: We treat the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid opt-out request for the sale or sharing of personal information under CCPA/CPRA, even though we do not currently sell personal information.

Cookies have different lifespans depending on their type:
- Session Cookies: Deleted automatically when you close your browser. Used for authentication, CSRF protection, and session management.
