What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing a string of characters that can be placed on your computer or mobile device to identify your browser or device.
Cookies help a site or service know whether your device has visited before. They can help us understand how the service is used, support efficient navigation, remember preferences and improve your browsing experience. They can also help make online marketing more relevant to you and your interests.
What types of cookies does Compliance One use?
There are generally four categories of cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies. These are essential for moving around the service and using its features, such as accessing logged-in or secure areas.
- Performance Cookies. These collect information about how you use the service. They may help us recognise that you have logged in, track aggregate usage, test new features and improve how the service works.
- Functionality Cookies. These remember choices and activity, such as how you are logged in, preferences you have set and tools you have used. The information may be anonymous and is not used to track browsing on other sites or services.
- Targeting Cookies. Advertising or third-party partners may use these to provide advertising relevant to your interests, measure campaign effectiveness and provide aggregate service usage or testing statistics.
How long will cookies stay on my device?
The length of time depends on whether a cookie is persistent or session-based. Session cookies remain only until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or are deleted.
First and third-party cookies
First-party cookies belong to Compliance One. Third-party cookies are placed on your device by another party through our service, for example to help us understand how the service is used. Business partners may also place cookies to advertise products and services elsewhere on the internet.
How to control and delete cookies
You can delete or disable cookies using your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may prevent access to parts of the service or stop some features from working properly. You can find more guidance at allaboutcookies.org.
