Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Techno-Graph Ltd. (“Company” “we” “us” and “our“) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise the visitors of our website at https://www.techno-graph.com (“Website“).
It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as visitors rights to control our use of them. In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
What are cookies
Cookies are small data files that are placed on the visitors; computer or mobile devices when they visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Techno-Graph) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise a computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
What cookies are used for
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
Controlling cookies
Visitors have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies and they can exercise their cookie rights by setting preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows to select which categories of cookies can be accepted or rejected. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide with services.
The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our website. If the cookies are rejected, our website can still be used though the access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. A web browser control can be set or amended to accept or refuse cookies.
The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described in the table below (the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online Properties visited).
Unclassified cookies:
These are cookies that have not yet been categorised. We are in the process of classifying these cookies with the help of their providers.
Controlling cookies on a browser
As the means by which cookies can be refused through a web browser controls, vary from browser to browser, the browser’s help menu can provide additional information on this matter. Most advertising networks offer a way to opt out of targeted advertising, more information can be found visiting:
- European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance
- What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognise when someone has visited our website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether visitors have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Flash cookies and Local Shared Objects
Websites may also use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to, among other things, collect and store information about uses of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.
If Flash Cookies are not to be stored on a computer, it is possible to adjust the settings of Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. It is possible to control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to “information” on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on a computer without being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page a visitor is on at the time). Setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.
Targeted advertising
Third parties may serve cookies on a computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our website. These companies may use information about website visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that a visitor may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to the visitor. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify visitors name, contact details, or other details that directly identify people, unless they have chosen to provide these to us.
Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. This Cookie Policy should be visited regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the bottom of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
