Goodstack Cookie Policy

Effective Date: November 15, 2024

Our website (“Website”), like most websites, uses cookies and other similar technologies such as ‘web beacons’, which allow us to check what content you have accessed.

What is a Cookie?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a Website. Cookies then send information back to the originating site on each subsequent visit, or to another site that recognises those cookies. You can find out more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.

Cookies are widely used in order to make sites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the platform.

We use cookies to enhance the online experience of our visitors (for example, by remembering your language and / or product preferences) and to better understand how our Website is used. Cookies may tell us, for example, whether you have visited our Website before or whether you are a new visitor. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

Types of Cookies

  • Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are required for the operation of the Website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of the Website, or make use of e-billing services.

  • Analytical/performance cookies. These cookies allow us to recognise, and count the number of, visitors and to see how visitors move around the Website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way the Website works, for example by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

  • Functionality cookies. These cookies enable us to recognise you when you return to the Website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

  • Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to the Website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make the Website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for related purposes.

What cookies do we use?

Our Website uses the following types of cookies:

Cookies necessary for essential purposes

These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like transactional pages and secure login accounts, would not be possible.

Analytics/Performance Cookies

These cookies are used to collect information about how visitors use our Website, so that we can analyse traffic and understand how our users use our Website.

The information gathered is aggregated and we do not use it to identify any individual user. It includes the number of visitors to our Website, the location at which they have used our Website and any problems such as crashes that might occur when they visited our Website.

We use this information to help operate our Website more efficiently, to gather broad demographic information and to monitor the level of activity on our Website.

For example, we use Google Analytics to help us to: (a) estimate our audience size and usage pattern; (b) understand how visitors navigate to and through the Website; (c) track the effectiveness of digital marketing campaigns; (d) recognise you when you return to the Website. You can find out more about Google Analytics here. 

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your username) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of the web pages that you can customise.

Social Media Cookies

These cookies are used when you share information using a social media sharing button or “like” button on our Website or you link your account or engage with our content on or through a social networking site such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. The social network will record that you have done this. This information may be linked to targeting / advertising activities.

Third-party social media platforms may set cookies which can identify you as an individual, even when you are not logged in to their services. This means that such platforms may be collecting information about your broader online activities, as well as your activities whilst browsing the Site. We do not control these cookies and you should therefore check the relevant third-party platform to understand how your information is or might be used and to determine how to opt out.

How to control or delete cookies

You have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies and we have explained how you can exercise this right below. However, please note that if you choose to refuse cookies you may not be able to use the full functionality of our Website.

You can set your cookie preferences by changing your browser settings so that cookies from this Website cannot be placed on your mobile device. In order to do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “help” “tools” or “settings” facility).
