Data privacy is important. Please read this carefully.
To make our website and other communications related to the Service work properly, we sometimes place small text files (cookies) on your device when you use the Service. This Cookie Notice (the “Notice”) provides information about how and when we use cookies for these purposes.

What are Cookies?
Cookies and other similar tracking technologies are small text files or code placed on your device (e.g. computer, smartphone or other electronic device) when you use our website (the “Site”) or view a message. Cookies allow a website to recognise a particular device.
Our use of Cookies
We use cookies and other similar tracking technologies on our Sit, in our marketing emails and in our SaaS products. These help us recognise you and your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions.
For example, we may monitor how many times you visit our Site, which pages you go to, traffic data, location data and the originating domain name of your internet service provider. This information helps us to build a profile of our users. Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means that we will not be able to identify you individually.
Cookies serve many functions, but in general we use cookies to:
- recognise you whenever you visit our Site (this speeds up your access to our Site as you do not have to log in each time);
- obtain information about your preferences and use of our Site;
- carry out research and statistical analysis to help improve our content and services and to help us better understand our users’ requirements; and
- make your online experience more efficient and enjoyable.
Types of cookies
The cookies we place on your device fall into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies—these cookies are essential for you to be able to navigate our Site and use its features. Without these cookies, the Site features and services you have asked for could not be provided.
- Performance cookies—these cookies collect information about how you use our Site, e.g. which pages you go to most often. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information about you. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous, and is only used to improve how our Site works.
- Functionality cookies—these cookies allow our Site to remember the choices you make (such as your language, last action and search preferences) and provide enhanced, more personal features. The information collected by these cookies is anonymous and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
- Targeting cookies—also known as advertising cookies, these cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement on our Site and help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our Site operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a site and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers.
