Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Tractivity Limited ("Company", "we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our websites at https://tractivity.co.uk, ("Websites"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information or data that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you 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, Tractivity Limited) 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. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Functions usually performed by a cookie can also be achieved by other similar technologies, such as tracking pixels. Tracking pixels are code snippets included within a website that allows website owners to track user behaviour and conversions.
From now on, this Cookie Policy uses the terms 'cookies' or 'cookie' to refer to both cookies and similar technologies such as tracking pixels.
