This Cookie Policy explains how Plaza uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website (www.readplaza.com). It describes what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, and how you can control your cookie preferences.

You can review and change your cookie choices at any time using the preferences panel at the bottom of this page.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language and other settings. This can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and understand where our visitors are coming from. Cookies help us:

• Remember your preferences and settings
• Understand how you use our website
• Improve our content and functionality
• Provide relevant content recommendations
• Ensure our website works properly and securely

We use three main categories of cookies on our website:

• Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies.

• Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use Microsoft Clarity for analytics, which is configured to be privacy-friendly and GDPR-compliant.

• Marketing Cookies: These are used to track visitors across websites to display relevant and engaging advertisements. They help us show you content that matches your interests and preferences.

We work with trusted third-party services that may place cookies on your device:

• Microsoft Clarity: Provides analytics and user experience insights through session recordings, heatmaps, and user behavior tracking. Clarity is configured to respect your privacy and comply with GDPR requirements.

• Google Tag Manager: Helps us manage and deploy marketing and analytics tags. This service may place cookies to track your interactions with our site for analytics and advertising purposes.

Cookies may be either "session" cookies or "persistent" cookies:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser.

• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually.

Most of our cookies are session cookies. Your consent choice is stored in your browser's local storage and remains until you change it on our Cookie Policy page or clear your browser data.

You have several options for managing cookies:

• Cookie Consent Banner: On many pages, when you first visit, you can choose to accept all cookies or refuse non-essential cookies. Essential cookies remain active either way. On our welcome / home marketing pages for visitors in the United States and Canada, we do not show that prompt by default — you can still manage choices here.

• Preferences Panel: Use the "Your cookie choices" panel at the bottom of this page to review your current choice and change it at any time. Changes take effect immediately.

• Browser Settings: You can set your browser to refuse all or some cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, this may affect the functionality of our website.

If you need help managing your preferences, contact us at info@readplaza.com.

Under applicable privacy laws, you may have the right to:

• Know what personal data is collected through cookies
• Access the personal data we have collected
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Withdraw consent for non-essential cookies
• Object to processing of your personal data for marketing purposes

To exercise these rights, please contact us at info@readplaza.com. We will respond to your request within the timeframes required by applicable law.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the effective date at the top of this policy and, where required by law, seek your renewed consent.
