Cookie Policy

Last Modified: June 22,2016

This Cookie Policy explains how SVAAPTA IT-ALLY Solutions Ltd (“SVAAPTA UK”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar storage/access technologies on our website.

Cookies are small files or records stored on or accessed from your device. Similar technologies can include pixels, tags, local storage, scripts, device identifiers and other technologies that store or access information on a device.

1. Why we use these technologies

• operate essential website functions and maintain security;

• remember user choices or settings;

• understand website usage and performance;

• improve content, navigation and user experience;

• measure campaigns and, where enabled, support advertising or remarketing; and

• record and respect cookie preferences.

2. Consent and legal exceptions

2.1 Where UK law requires consent, we will not set or access non-exempt storage/access technologies until you have made the relevant choice through our consent mechanism.

2.2 Some technologies may be used without consent where a PECR exception applies and its conditions are met. Current UK rules include exceptions relating to communications, technologies that are strictly necessary, certain statistical purposes, certain appearance-related purposes and emergency assistance. The availability of an exception depends on the exact purpose and implementation.

2.3 Where an exception requires a simple means of objecting, we will provide an appropriate control. Where consent is required, you can withdraw it through our cookie settings.

2.4 Using our website does not by itself amount to consent for technologies that legally require consent.

5. Third-party technologies

5.1 Some technologies may be supplied by third parties such as analytics, video, mapping, CRM, advertising or social-media providers. Those providers may process information under their own privacy terms as well as our instructions, depending on the service.

5.2 We review third-party technologies before deployment and aim to provide clear information about their purpose and role in the inventory or consent interface.

6. Managing your choices

6.1 You can manage non-essential cookie and similar-technology choices through Cookie Settings.

6.2 You may also be able to block or delete cookies through browser settings, but blocking strictly necessary technologies may affect website functionality.

6.3 If we materially change our use of these technologies, we may ask you to make a fresh choice where required.

7. How long technologies remain

7.1 Session technologies normally expire when the browsing session ends. Persistent technologies remain for the duration shown in the inventory or until deleted, withdrawn or otherwise cleared. We aim to use durations proportionate to the stated purpose.

8. Personal data

8.1 Some cookies and similar technologies involve personal data, such as online identifiers, IP addresses or usage records. Our Website Privacy Notice explains how we process that personal data, our lawful bases, international transfers and your rights.

9. Changes and contact

9.1 We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law or our website. The current effective date will be shown above.
