1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files that uniquely identify your browser or device. The cookie file is stored on your browser. When you return to that website (or visit websites that use the same cookies) these websites recognize the cookies and your browsing device.

Cookies and other technologies collect certain information about how you are using our website.

2. Categories of cookies

Cookies do many different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. Cookies can tell us, for example, whether you have visited the Website before or whether you are a new visitor. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

There are different categories of cookies, including:

First-party cookies

First party cookies, which are served directly by us to your computer or device.

Third-party Cookies

Third-party cookies, which are served by a third party on our behalf.

Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time. Some cookies are ‘session cookies’, meaning that they exist only while your browser is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are ‘permanent cookies’, meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. They can be used by the Website, for example, to recognise your computer when you open your browser and browse the Internet again.

3. What cookies do we use and how do we use them?

The types of cookies and similar technologies used by us and our partners in connection with the Website can be classified into one of three categories, namely ‘essential cookies’, ‘functionality cookies’, and ‘performance and analytics cookies’. We have set out some further information about the cookies that we and third parties use, and the purposes for their use and durations, below:

Essential cookies

We set these cookies for essential purposes. Used for security and authentication purposes.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies record information about choices you have made and allow us to provide relevant content and tailor the Website to you. These cookies mean that when you continue to use or come back to the Website, we can provide you with our services as you have asked for them to be provided.

We use performance/analytics cookies to measure traffic and usage data and to analyse how the Website is accessed, used, or is performing in order to provide you with a better user experience and to maintain, operate and continually improve the Website.

4. Google analytics

We use Google Analytics, which is a web analytics tool that helps us understand how users engage with the Website. Like many services, Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to track user interactions, as in our case, where they are used to collect information about how users use our site. This information is used to compile reports and to help us improve our service. The reports disclose website trends without identifying individual visitors. For more information on Google Tag Manager, see here. For more information on Google Analytics, see here.

You can also opt-out of Google Analytics without affecting how you visit our site by installing the Google Analytics browser add-on: see here.

5. How to control or delete cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies on this site to make sure you can use the Website easily and enjoy the Website. Some of these cookies are essential and we cannot provide our service without them, but there are others that can be turned off (depending on the device you use). Note that, depending on the type of device you have, it may not be possible to delete or disable tracking mechanisms. In addition, we note that disabling cookies and/or similar technologies prevents Workfacta or its business partners from tracking your browser’s activities in relation to the Service, and for use in targeted advertising activities by Workfacta, including via third party websites. It also disables many of the features available through the Service.
