For more information about how we process your Personal Information, please consult our Privacy Policy.
As we describe more fully below, we use these technologies to administer our websites and products (the "Sites" as defined in our Privacy Policy), analyse trends, track users’ movements around our Sites, serve targeted advertisements and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your browser and may be stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. It can enable you to use certain functionality of the website, and to provide you with a tailored visitor experience. Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie and your device. Cookies can remember your preferences, track your usage and allow for a personalised user experience.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Touchpoint Group) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer or mobile device both when you visit our Sites and also when you visits certain other websites.
Web beacons are typically transparent graphic images placed on a site. They are used to obtain information such as the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, and the type of browser used to view the page. Web beacons are used in combination with cookies to measure the actions of visitors on websites and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?
We use first party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Sites to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Sites. We also may use web beacons, tags, HTML5, and scripts in the Sites or in emails to help us to deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness and determine whether an email has been opened and acted upon. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by our service/analytics providers on an individual and aggregated basis.
We use cookies for security reasons to authenticate your identity, such as confirming whether you are currently logged into our Sites. We may store user preferences in cookies to provide you with personalised content or to enable or disable certain features, e.g. to ensure that users can’t retake certain surveys that they have already completed. To improve our services we use cookies to measure your usage of our Sites and track referral data, as well as to occasionally display different versions of content to you. This information helps us to develop and improve our services and optimise the content we display to users. When you use the "Remember me" feature when you sign into your account, we may store your username in a cookie to make it quicker for you to sign in whenever you return to our Sites.
Touchpoint Group partners with third parties to manage our advertising on other sites. Our partners may use technologies such as cookies, web beacons, tags, HTML5, scripts, or other tracking technologies to gather information about your activities on our Sites and other sites in order to suggest advertisements based upon your browsing activities and interests. If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you interest-based ads, you can manage your preferences as described below and here. Please note if these cookies are switched off, you will continue to see advertisements, but they will no longer be tailored to your interests.
We may use any of the following categories of cookies on the Sites as detailed below. Each cookie falls within one of the four following categories:
Types of cookies and their purpose
Type of cookies | Purpose | Expiry/Max age |
Strictly necessary | These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with our products and services and to use some of their features, such as the ability to sign in and gain access to secure areas or to fill in a form. During your visit to our Sites, these cookies are used to remember information you have entered or choices you made on the Sites. Without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable. |
The longest expiry period is 20 years. |
Tracking and Performance | These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Sites but are non-essential to their use (e.g. collecting performance and error data, enabling customer support for users). Some of these cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Sites are being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customise our Sites for you. The cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Sites but are non-essential to their use (e.g. collecting performance and error data, enabling customer support for users). The third party platforms who set these cookies may subsequently use these cookies to track the browser across other sites. | The longest expiry period is 2 years. |
Advertising | These cookies are placed by third party advertising platforms or networks in order to deliver ads and track ad performance, enable advertising networks to deliver ads that may be relevant to you based upon your activities (this is sometimes called “behavioral” “tracking” or “targeted” advertising). They may subsequently use information about your visit to target you with advertising that you may be interested in, on other websites. For example, these cookies remember which browsers have visited the Sites. | The longest expiry period is 2 years. |
Embedded Content | Our Sites make use of different third party applications and services to enhance the experience of website visitors and users of our products. These includes an integrated help desk and knowledge base to solve customer problems, social media platforms such as LinkedIn, or embedded content from Vimeo. As a result, cookies may be set by these third parties, and used by them to track your online activity. Your interaction with these features is governed by the privacy policy of the third party company providing it. | The longest expiry period is 2 years. |
