4. Managing Cookies
Consent is always given by a clear affirmative action that is, through a positive opt-in option, which signifies agreement to the processing of your personal data by allowing our Cookies such as the “Accept all” button or checkboxes. Since consent must result from a positive action, the cookie category checkboxes are unchecked by default, so users can expressly opt-in to cookie use.
Our consent mechanisms allow individuals to withdraw their consent at any time. We have ensured that withdrawing consent is as easy, clear and straightforward as giving it and is available through the opt-out option where you can enable or disable particular cookies as per as your choices in the ‘Cookie Settings’. Please note that even after getting valid consent, any site users still have the option to change their preferences by visiting the ‘Cookie Settings’. Consent withdrawal requests are processed immediately and without detriment. Opting out of all non-strictly cookies should not hinder any individual’s access to or usage of our website.
You can further manage cookies as you wish by changing your browser settings or by clearing your browsing history. For more details on how to manage cookies, you may visit https://www.aboutcookies.org.uk. If you disable performance and targeting cookies, it is possible that any advertising you receive will be less targeted as a result, but the site should function correctly. However, if you disable strictly necessary and/ or functional cookies, you may be unable to access certain areas of our website and certain functions or pages will not work in the usual way. You will also lose some saved information, for instance e.g., saved login details and site preferences.
Please note that any inaction or action other than a positive one is considered as refusal, and non-strictly necessary cookies cannot be placed. For instance, an action like scrolling does not mean implied consent since it does not constitute an adequate affirmative action which provides clear consent.
Consent is always verifiable. We have the following controls in place to ensure that we can demonstrate consent in every case:
- run regular audits of consent collection methods on the website/application, which may be done by outsourcing the same to the third party responsible for consent collection for the website/application concerned.
- information on the implemented tools and configurations (such as CMPs) may be kept, in a time-stamped manner, by the third parties responsible for the tools themselves.
- the different versions of the code used by the subject collecting consent can be handed to a third party, or ‘hashed’ and then published in a time-stamped manner on a public platform for the purposes of proving its authenticity when needed.
We keep detailed records of consent through a consent log and can evidence at a minimum:
- that the individual was able to make an informed choice prior to giving consent. (Cookies’ purposes clearly defined);
- that the individual has consented to the use and processing of their personal data by expressly accepting our Cookies; and
- that the individual has been advised of our company name and any third party using the data.
5. Retention period of cookies
We have defined the duration for all the cookies used on our website under Section 3.2.
We ensure that the lifespan of cookies is not extended with every new visit and retention periods are periodically reviewed to ensure that their duration is limited to what is strictly necessary.
6. Cookie wall
A cookie wall is a feature which blocks access to a website or mobile application when the user does not give his consent. The implementation of a cookie wall may infringe the freedom of consent. Therefore, the lawfulness of using a cookie wall must be assessed.
Our website does not use cookie walls to uphold the rights and freedoms of our users.
7. Cookie Banner/Pop-up
A cookie pop-up or cookie banner appears when you visit a website. It also allows you to either accept or refuse cookies (See Appendix 1). It informs you that your personal data is being collected, how it is being collected and for which purposes it is being collected. It also collects your consent to use your data.
