1. About This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Signal by Verity Solutions ("Signal", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our websites, applications, and services (collectively, the "Services"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we process personal data more generally.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (such as your computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website or use an online service. They are widely used to make websites and services work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information to the operators of those services.
We also use related technologies that perform similar functions, such as pixels, web beacons, local storage, and software development kits. References to "cookies" in this Policy include these similar technologies where applicable.
Cookies may be set by us directly ("first-party cookies") or by third parties that we work with ("third-party cookies"). They may persist on your device for different periods, ranging from the duration of a single browsing session ("session cookies") to a longer fixed period ("persistent cookies").
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential to enable you to access and use the Services and to provide core functionality such as authentication, session management, security, fraud prevention, load balancing, and remembering your cookie preferences.
Because these cookies are required for the Services to function, they cannot be disabled through our preference tools. You may be able to block them through your browser settings, but doing so is likely to prevent the Services from working correctly.
3.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies allow us to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, they may be used to:
- Remember your language, region, or display preferences;
- Keep you signed in across sessions where you have requested this;
- Remember interface state such as collapsed panels or dismissed notifications.
Disabling functional cookies may degrade your experience but will not prevent you from using core features.
3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors and users interact with the Services so we can measure and improve their performance. They collect information such as which pages or features are visited most often, how long users spend on them, what errors occur, and how users navigate the Services.
We may use first-party analytics and reputable third-party analytics providers for this purpose. Information collected is generally aggregated and used for internal product improvement and reporting.
4. How We Obtain Your Consent
Where required by applicable law (such as the UK PECR or the EU ePrivacy Directive), we will not place non-essential cookies on your device without your prior consent, which we obtain through a cookie banner or preference centre presented when you first visit the Services and which you may revisit at any time.
Strictly necessary cookies are placed without consent because they are required for the Services to function and fall within applicable legal exemptions.
5. How to Manage or Disable Cookies
You can manage cookies in several ways:
- Cookie preference centre: where available, use the cookie preference link provided within the Services to update your choices for non-essential cookies.
- Browser settings: most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies for any website. Look for "Cookies", "Privacy", or "Site Settings" within your browser preferences.
- Device settings: mobile operating systems provide settings to limit ad tracking and reset advertising identifiers.
- Opt-out tools: some third-party providers offer their own opt-out mechanisms; you can usually find them on their websites.
Please note that if you disable or delete cookies, certain features of the Services may not function correctly, and your preferences may need to be set again on your next visit.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our use of cookies. The "Last updated" date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was last revised. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
