Unity Foundation Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how we, the Unity Foundation, use cookies and similar technologies, like web beacons, to understand how visitors interact with our website. A web beacon is a small, usually invisible tool that allows us to confirm whether specific content has been accessed. This Cookie Policy forms part of the Unity Foundation Privacy Notice and explains how and why we use these technologies.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Some cookies are essential for our website to function properly. These so-called strictly necessary cookies are set in response to actions you take, such as logging into your account or completing forms. They may also be used to help us prevent fraud. Because these cookies are fundamental to the operation of our site, they cannot be disabled within our systems, although you can block them through your browser. Please note, however, that doing so may affect the functionality of the website. The legal basis for using these cookies is legitimate interest, as they are required to provide our online services.

2. Performance/Analytics Cookies

We also use performance or analytics cookies. These allow us to track the number of visitors, analyze traffic sources, and understand which pages are most frequently viewed. With this information we can measure and improve the performance of our website. All information collected in this way is aggregated and anonymous. If you disable these cookies, we will not be able to recognize when you have visited the site or monitor its performance.

3. Functionality Cookies

In addition, functionality cookies help us remember your choices and personalize your experience. They allow the website to recall settings such as language or region, or even your username, so that you can enjoy more relevant and convenient content.

4. Targeting Cookies

Finally, we may allow our advertising partners to place targeting cookies on our site. These cookies are used to build a profile of your interests and to display advertising on other websites that is more relevant to you. They do not store direct personal information but identify your browser or device in a unique way. If you choose not to accept these cookies, the advertising you see will be less tailored to your interests.

Duration of Cookies

The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a session or a persistent cookie. Session cookies are temporary and disappear as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain until they expire on their own or until you remove them manually.

Managing cookies and similar technologies

You are free to decide whether to accept cookies that are not strictly necessary. To make this simple, we use a consent management platform on our website, often displayed as a cookie banner. This tool not only records your preferences but also allows you to change them at any time by selecting the “Cookie Settings” button at the bottom of our site.

Beyond that, you can manage cookies directly through your browser. Each browser offers different options to block, allow, or delete cookies, and you can find specific instructions in your browser’s Help menu. Many advertising networks also allow you to opt out of targeted advertising; more information is available at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.com.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we change the cookies we use or if there are new operational, legal, or regulatory requirements. You are welcome to revisit this page at any time to stay informed about our use of cookies and similar technologies.
