1. Information about our use of cookies

This Cookies Policy (“Policy”) describes how Tracsis plc, together with its subsidiaries, affiliate companies, and associated entities within the Tracsis Group (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “Tracsis”), use cookies and similar technologies on our website, online platforms, and digital servers. It also explains how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This Policy applies to any Tracsis website, application, customer portal, or online service that links to it or incorporates it by reference (“Sites”). For any personal data collected through cookies or similar technologies, our Privacy Policy also applies and should be read alongside this Policy.

You may manage your consent preferences at any time, including granting, withholding, or withdrawing consent for optional cookies via our Cookie Consent Banner. If you choose to disable cookies that are not strictly necessary, you acknowledge that certain features or functionalities may not operate as intended.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

A cookie is a small data file that is stored on your device (such as your computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website to remember your device, preferences, or activity in order to enhance your browsing experience or deliver essential technical functionalities.

Under this Policy, the term “cookies” also includes “similar technologies”, such as:

  • Local storage objects

  • Web beacons

  • Pixel tags

  • JavaScript tracking technologies

  • Browser fingerprinting

  • Session-identifiers and SDK-based storage used within Tracsis software platforms

These technologies do not typically identify you directly, but they may enable a more personalised and seamless interaction with our Sites.

3. What cookies do we use?

Tracsis uses both first-party cookies (set directly by us) and third-party cookies (set by external service providers whose services we embed or rely upon).

Our cookies fall into two categories:

  1. Strictly Necessary Cookies – required for the operation, security and accessibility of our Sites.

  2. Optional Cookies – including functional, analytical / performance and embedded content cookies, which require your consent before they are placed on your device.

Some cookies are session cookies (deleted once you close your browser), while others are persistent cookies (stored for a defined period). Details of lifespans are provided below.

3.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the technical operation of our Sites and the delivery of the online services you expressly request. They support functions such as page navigation, secure logins, session management, load balancing, and protection against malicious activity.

You may configure your browser to block strictly necessary cookies; however, doing so may render parts of the Site inaccessible or non-functional.

The use of these cookies is based on our legitimate interest in ensuring the secure and efficient operation of our websites and online systems.
