Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK visitors)
Where applicable, processing is based on one or more of: consent, performance of a contract, legitimate interests (such as site security, analytics, and content delivery), compliance with legal obligations, and protection of vital interests.
Cookies and tracking
FactPlay uses cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure performance, and deliver relevant content and ads. Cookie settings can be managed through browser controls. Disabling cookies may affect some features. A separate Cookie Policy may provide additional detail if implemented.
Analytics and advertising
We may use analytics services (e.g., privacy-centric or mainstream analytics) to understand Site usage in aggregate. We may work with advertising partners or ad networks that use cookies or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads, subject to applicable consent requirements. Where required, consent banners and opt-out mechanisms will be provided.

Information is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary by data type and purpose.
