ONTOIT WEBSITE COOKIE POLICY
BY CONTINUING TO USE OUR SITE AND SERVICES, YOU ARE AGREEING TO THE USE OF COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE PURPOSES WE DESCRIBE IN THIS POLICY.
WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. It will contain some anonymous information such as a unique identifier and the site name and some digits and numbers.
Most websites you visit use cookies to improve your user experience by allowing the website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’).
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (‘first party cookies’) or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing (‘third party cookies’).
WHAT DO COOKIES DO?
Cookies have lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, storing your preferences, and improving your experience of a website.
Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. If a website doesn’t use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site, for example, even after you “log in,” if you move to another page it won’t recognise you and it won’t be able to keep you logged in.
HOW DOES ONTOIT USE COOKIES?
Ontoit uses different types of cookies to enhance and improve your experience.
We also use cookies to enable and support our security features, for example: to authenticate users, prevent fraudulent use of login credentials, and protect your data from unauthorized parties.
We also use cookies to collect information about how our visitors use and interact with our website.
This may include the pages you visit most often and when and where users get error messages.
We use these “session state cookies” to help us improve our Site and Services.
We use third party cookies for website analytics.
These cookies help us learn how our Site performs in different locations. We use cookies to understand and improve our Services and features.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU DON’T WANT COOKIES SET?
Some people find the idea of a website storing information on their computer or mobile device to be intrusive, particularly when this information is stored and used by a third party without them knowing.
Although cookies are generally quite harmless, you may not, for example, want to see advertising that has been targeted to your interests using your browser history.
If you prefer, you may choose to block some or all cookies, or even to delete cookies that have already been set; but you should be aware that you might lose some functions of the website.
If you want to restrict or block the cookies that are set by our website, or any other site, you can do so through your browser setting.
