This Cookie Policy explains how Rubix U.K. Limited ("Company," "we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at [https://uk.rubix.com] ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases, we may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information that can amount to personal data (such as online identifiers and device identifiers), or that becomes personal data if we combine it with other information (such as device settings, when we also collect device identifiers).
- What are cookies?
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.
For simplicity, this cookie policy refers to cookies to mean both cookies and other similar technologies discussed below.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Rubix U.K. Limited) 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., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Information we collect about you as part of using cookies on our Website may include your internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone settings and location, browser plug-in type and version, operating system and platform and other information relating to the devices you use to access our Website.
- 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 Website 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 online properties. Third parties cookies are used on our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
- How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific online properties you visit).
- What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
As explained above, cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
We also use local storage and session storage. Local storage is a tool that allows us to store data in website visitors’ browsers. The browser will then keep the data stored even after the user has closed our website. Session storage is similar to local storage. The difference is that while data in local storage is not deleted after a visitor has left our Website, session storage data is cleared when the visitor leaves our Website or when a visitor leaves a page on our Website.
