2. WHAT COOKIES ARE USED FOR WHICH PURPOSES
2.1. In general, we use cookies to make your experience at the Website as smooth and convenient as possible and to maintain the functionality of the Website. We use both session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser (or retained for a limited time after closing the browser), and permanent cookies, which remain stored until they are deleted or reach their expiry date.
2.2. The cookies that we use can be categorised as follows:
a) Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are essential in order to enable you to use the Website and are related to the basic operation of the Website. Without these cookies, the Website would not be usable and therefore it is not possible to use the Website without these cookies. For example, we use such cookies if you register an account with us to manage the signup process and general administration. These cookies are typically removed when you log out, but they may remain in some cases to remember your site preferences when logged out.
b) Functionality Cookies. These are the cookies that enable the Website to function as we intend it to. These could be session cookies which enable the Website to remember the choices you make and recognize you between sessions. To ensure that you have a great experience on the Website, we may offer the option to set your preferences for how the site runs when you use it. This requires us to set cookies to remember your preferences, which will be called whenever you interact with a page that is affected by your preferences. Usually, such functionality cookies are deleted when you end your browsing session or up to 1-2 years.
i. For example, if you are subscribed to our newsletter or email services, we may use cookies to remember if you are already registered and to display relevant notifications for subscribed or non-subscribed users.
ii. Also, we may occasionally conduct user surveys and questionnaires to provide you with insights, tools, or to better understand our user base. These surveys may use cookies to remember who has already participated or to provide accurate results when you navigate between pages.
iii. Furthermore, if you submit data through a form on this website, such as a contact page, cookies may be set to remember your user details for future correspondence.
iv. Also, when Fingate tests new features or makes changes to the Website, cookies may be used to ensure that users have a consistent experience on the site and to understand which changes are preferred by users.
c) Analytical Cookies. Analytical cookies are a type of cookies used to collect information about how visitors use a website. These give information about your interactions within the Website, such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and any issues encountered. This data is then used to improve the Website’s functionality, making it more user-friendly and enhancing the overall user experience. Typically, analytical cookies expire within 2 years.
d) Advertising Cookies. In order to display personalized ads to you, advertising cookies are used which collect information such as your browsing habits and preferences. These cookies track users across websites and over time to build a profile of their interests. This profile is then used to display targeted advertisements that are more relevant to the individual user. Typically, advertising cookies expire within 1-2 years.
2.3. We may use first-party cookies, i.e., cookies that are set by us, and also third-party cookies that are set by our service providers or partners. Such third-party cookies may be set when you use our Website, which are used to track and measure site usage. We may also use social media buttons and plugins that may set cookies through our Website to enhance your social media profile or contribute to the data they hold for various purposes outlined in their respective privacy policies.
