Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, phone or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owner. Living The Dream Competitions uses cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy.

### Strictly Necessary Cookies These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms.

### Analytics and Performance Cookies These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, for example which pages are most frequently visited and whether users receive error messages. The information is aggregated and used to improve how the website works. We use analytics tools only in a way that does not directly identify individuals wherever possible.

### Advertising and Marketing Cookies These cookies may be set by us or by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still see adverts but they may be less relevant to you. We will only use advertising cookies where you have given us your consent.

When you first visit our website, or after any material change, we may present a cookie banner or preference tool that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time using the controls in your browser or device, or (where available) by revisiting our cookie settings. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings, including deleting cookies and blocking certain types. If you choose to block cookies, some features of our website may not operate as intended. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage or delete them, you can visit independent resources such as www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party service providers, for example:

• Analytics providers that help us understand how our site is used.
• Payment providers that help us process secure payments.
• Content or social media providers that enable you to share content or log in using your existing accounts.

These third parties may use the information collected through their cookies for their own purposes, in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend that you review the privacy information provided by each third party.
