This Cookie Notice explains how the OrbExperts group uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit any of our websites, portals or online learning environment ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
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 us are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than us are called "third party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the Website (for example 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.
We use cookies to provide easier navigation around the sites and gather anonymous analytics information. In some cases, cookies are used to provide functionality within sessions, such as within portals or learning environments. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our websites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our websites. For example, we may use Google Analytics (a third party cookie) within our Websites to monitor how visitors have landed on our website, and how they consequently navigate it. This is done so that we can see aggregated (not individual) statistics about which content our users access most frequently.
From time to time, we may have links to other services such as social media or video services on our website. These third-party services may set cookies on your device when you use them. Due to the nature of how cookies work, we cannot access these cookies nor control their use. Likewise, these third-party services cannot access our session or analytics cookies.
The law states that we can store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this site. For all other types of cookies, we need your permission. You have the right, therefore, to choose whether or not to accept non-essential cookies and to set your own cookie preferences on your device.
OrbExperts has implemented a cookie management tool on its websites that allows you to select which of the optional cookie classifications can be set. By choosing not to set some of these cookies certain features of the Website cannot be provided, and you may not be able to enjoy the Website to its fullest. When cookie retention settings expire, you will be presented with the cookie management interface to refresh your selection.
Where you wish to review the settings of the cookies on subsequent visits, you can clear the cookies from your browser, and the management tool will reappear to allow you to review and select appropriate cookies. All web browsers are different and to learn how to change your cookie preferences, check the "Help" menu of your browser. For the remaining OrbExperts sites not currently operating the cookie management tool, settings should be managed in line with browser instructions.
For more information about cookies, cookie management and how to control cookies within your browser, please see the allaboutcookies.org website.
Unless the user's browser has been configured so that it will refuse cookies, our websites notify the user that the site makes use of cookies and allows the user to customise their browser to configure their preferences.
You can review or change your choice at any time: open your cookie preferences.
On our websites that utilise the cookie management tool, this provides real-time information of the cookies used by the site and presents the user with a tool giving granular control.
On websites where we have not yet deployed the cookie management tool, a list of cookies is available on request, and settings should be managed in line with browser instructions.
We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Notice regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please do not hesitate to contact us, or our DPO, via email at info@orb-experts.com.
