Cookies Policy
Last updated: January 2024
This policy explains what cookies are, how bluefin-cipher Ltd uses them on our website, and how you can control your cookie preferences.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit. They serve various purposes, from remembering your preferences to helping us understand how people use our site. Cookies cannot access other data on your device or identify you personally on their own.
Some cookies are essential for the website to function, while others help us improve your experience or deliver relevant content.
Types of Cookies We Use
Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to operate correctly. They enable core functionality such as security, session management, and accessibility features. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website may not work as intended.
You cannot disable necessary cookies through our cookie preferences tool because they are essential to the site's operation. However, you can block them through your browser settings, though this may affect website functionality.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information about which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on the site, and any error messages encountered. This data is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it cannot identify you personally.
We use this information to improve our website and make it more useful for visitors. You can choose to accept or reject analytics cookies through our preferences panel.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies track your browsing activity across websites to help deliver advertisements that may be relevant to your interests. These cookies may be set by our advertising partners.
We currently make limited use of marketing cookies. If you prefer not to receive targeted advertising, you can reject these cookies in your preferences.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalisation. They may remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region, to provide a more tailored experience.
While the website will work without functional cookies, some convenience features may not be available.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner asking for your consent. You can:
- Accept All: Enable all cookie categories
- Reject All: Accept only necessary cookies
- Preferences: Choose which categories to enable
You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" link in our website footer or by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.
Browser Cookie Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View cookies stored on your device
- Delete all or specific cookies
- Block cookies from all or specific websites
- Set preferences for first-party versus third-party cookies
Be aware that blocking all cookies may affect your experience on many websites, not just ours. Some features may become unavailable or behave unexpectedly.
Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser. Consult your browser's help documentation for specific guidance.
Cookie Duration
Cookies can be classified by how long they persist:
- Session cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them
The duration of specific cookies varies based on their purpose. Preference cookies typically last longer than session cookies to maintain your settings across visits.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use, such as analytics providers. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies governing their use of data.
We select our third-party partners carefully and ensure they comply with applicable data protection requirements. However, we do not control their cookie practices directly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookies policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post any updates on this page and revise the "last updated" date accordingly.
