1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how MAD Management Pty Ltd ("MAD", "we", "us", "our"), uses cookies and similar technologies on the website at mad.vc. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember preferences, support sign-in sessions, and produce statistics about how the site is used.
3. Categories of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary. Required for the site to function. These support things like routing, security, fraud prevention, and signed-in sessions for the Ambassador Portal and admin areas. They cannot be disabled without breaking the site.
- Functional. Remember choices you make to provide a more personal experience, such as your preferred theme or whether you have dismissed a banner.
- Analytics. Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Where used, analytics cookies are configured to minimise personal data and to honour any consent choice you have made.
- Marketing. We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. If we add them in future, we will update this policy and seek your consent before they are set.
4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we embed or rely on, such as authentication providers and form services. Those third parties are responsible for the cookies they set under their own privacy and cookie policies. The categories above describe the function rather than the operator.
5. Your choices
Most browsers let you view, manage, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site from working as intended. Where we offer an in-site cookie preferences panel, you can use it to accept, reject, or adjust non-essential categories at any time. Your choice is stored in a first-party cookie so that you do not need to reset it on every visit.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no consistent industry standard for how to respond to this signal. We honour explicit consent choices made through our preferences panel rather than relying on browser-level signals.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, including when we change the categories of cookies in use. The current version is published on our website with the effective date shown above.
