Cookie Policy
Overview
This policy explains how DUCTIO LTD uses cookies and similar technologies on its website and executive intelligence platform, and how you can control optional uses. It should be read with our Privacy Policy. The list of individual technologies must be checked against the live website and platform before this draft is published.
1 Who we are and scope
DUCTIO LTD is a company incorporated in England and Wales under company number 17303286. In this policy, “Ductio”, “we” and “our” mean DUCTIO LTD. This policy covers our website and browser based platform where we determine how cookies and similar technologies are used. A third party site reached through a link may operate under its own policy.
2 What these technologies do
A cookie is a small file stored by your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags and scripts that store information on, or access information from, your device. We use the word “cookies” below to cover all of these where the same rules apply. Some last only for a browsing session; others remain until they expire or you remove them. A first party technology is set for Ductio; a third party technology is provided by another organisation.
3 The purposes for which we use them
|
Category |
Purpose |
When active |
|
Strictly necessary |
Keep the service working, including sign in, session security, fraud prevention, technical fault prevention and remembering your cookie choice. |
Used where an applicable legal exception permits it; no optional cookie consent is requested. |
|
Preferences |
Remember optional settings, such as language or display choices, where they are not needed to provide a setting you specifically requested. |
Used after consent unless a specific exception applies. |
|
Analytics |
Understand how visitors and users interact with the website or platform and improve its performance. |
Used after consent as our default approach. A separate UK statistical exception may be used only after a documented assessment and a simple means to object; where EU rules apply, we obtain any required consent. |
|
Marketing |
Measure campaigns or tailor advertising across services, including any social media or advertising pixels that we actually deploy. |
Used only after consent. |
The categories above describe possible uses. They do not assert that any named vendor or technology is currently active. The published cookie register must show what is actually in use.
4 Individual cookie and provider details
Our cookie register, available from the cookie settings panel or linked from this policy when published, identifies each active cookie or similar technology, its provider, purpose, category, whether it is first or third party, and its retention period. Some technologies are set only after you visit a particular feature, sign in or make a choice. We update the register when we add or remove them. We do not include example vendor names or expiry periods here because that would risk describing technologies we do not use.
5 Your choices
Where consent is required, optional categories remain off until you choose to allow them. Our banner should offer clear choices to accept, reject or manage optional cookies without preselected optional categories. Continuing to browse does not count as consent. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through “Cookie Settings” on the website or platform. Withdrawing consent stops the relevant technology for future use; we also take reasonable steps to remove cookies under our control that were already set. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent sign in or other core functions.
Where we rely on a UK exception for a qualifying statistical or appearance related technology, we explain that use and provide a simple, free way to object. Such an exception does not extend to advertising or a combined technology used for another purpose.
6 Personal data and third parties
Cookie information can include online identifiers, IP address, browser or device details and information about use of our services. If it identifies a person, our Privacy Policy explains our controller role, lawful bases, recipients, international transfers, retention and rights. Consent to store or access information on a device is distinct from the data protection lawful basis for any later processing. Third party providers may receive information when their technology is enabled; the cookie register identifies them and explains their purposes. We do not assume a provider acts only on our instructions where its own terms say otherwise.
7 Changes and contact
We review this policy and the cookie register at least annually and when our technology or purposes change. We request fresh consent when required for a new purpose or provider. The effective date and version above will be completed when approved. For questions or privacy requests, use the contact or privacy request form at www.ductio.co.uk. Our Privacy Policy gives further information about your rights and how to complain.
