This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies, how that information is used, and how to manage your cookie settings. We use cookies to help improve your experience of our website and this policy, forms part of our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are used to store small pieces of information when you visit a website. They are stored on your device when a website is loaded on your browser. These cookies help our website remember information about your visit (to make it easier for you to visit our site again and make it more useful to you) as well make the website function properly, make it more secure, and understand how the website performs by analysing what works and where it needs improvement. For example, they are used to help with submitting a form, saving your language preference and storing your time zone.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are normally referred to as ‘first-party cookies’ and typically only track your activity on that particular site. Cookies set by other sites and companies (i.e. third parties) are called ‘third-party cookies’ and can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service. We provide basic information on third-party services we may use, who may also use cookies as part of their service, however they are not covered by our Cookie Policy.
How do we use cookies?
Our website uses first-party and third-party cookies for several purposes. First-party cookies are mostly necessary for the website to function the right way, and they do not collect any of your personally identifiable data.
The third-party cookies used on our website are mainly for understanding how the website performs, how you interact with our website, keeping our services secure, and to provide you with a better and improved user experience to help navigate and speed up your future interactions with our website.
Types of cookies and how we use them
1. Essential cookies
Essential cookies are crucial to your experience of a website, enabling core features like submitting a form. We use essential cookies to enable certain functions on our website.
2. Performance cookies
Performance cookies are used in the tracking of how you use our website during your visit, without collecting personal information about you. Typically, this information is anonymous and aggregated with information tracked across all site users, to help companies understand visitor usage patterns, identify and diagnose problems or errors their users may encounter, and make better strategic decisions in improving their audience’s overall website experience.
These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting (first-party) or by third-party services. We use performance cookies on our site including Google (read about how Google uses cookies).
3. Functionality cookies
Functionality cookies are used in collecting information about your device and any settings you may configure on the website you’re visiting (like language and time zone settings). With this information, we can provide you with customised, enhanced or optimised content and services. These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting (first-party) or by third-party service. We use functionality cookies for selected features on our site.
4. Targeting / advertising cookies
Targeting/advertising cookies are used in determining what promotional content is more relevant and appropriate to you and your interests. Websites may use them to deliver targeted advertising or to limit the number of times you see an advertisement. This helps companies improve the effectiveness of their campaigns and the quality of content presented to you. These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting (first-party) or by third-party services.
Targeting/advertising cookies set by third-parties may be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service. We currently do not use this type of cookie on our site.
5. Third-party cookies on our website
We may employ third-party companies on our website, for example, analytics providers and content partners. We grant these third-parties access to selected information to perform specific tasks on our behalf. They may also set third-party cookies in order to deliver the services they are providing. Third-party cookies can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service.
We review the privacy policies of all our third-party providers before enlisting their services to ensure their practices align with ours. We will never knowingly include third-party services that compromise or violate the privacy of our users. However third-party cookies are not covered by our Cookie Policy.
We use HubSpot and Microsoft to collect data measurement and store form data. Read more about how HubSpot uses cookies and how Microsoft uses cookies.
6. Social media cookies
We may provide you with custom content based on what you tell us about yourself either directly or indirectly by linking a social media account. These types of cookies simply allow us to provide you with content that we feel may be of interest to you, for example we may showcase a blog or a YouTube video.
You will notice on our website social media buttons. These enable users to share or bookmark web pages or access Ocupeye content on these social media sites. These buttons include Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. By clicking on any of these buttons, the website will register your action and may use that information.
To implement these buttons and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, scripts from domains outside of Ocupeye must be used. You should be aware that when you are logged-in to the services of these sites (e.g., Google and Facebook), they are likely to be collecting information about your browsing habits, including when on the Ocupeye website, even if you do not click on a social button. Read the respective policies of Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube to see how they use your information and how to opt-out or delete such information.
How you can control or opt out of cookies
If you do not wish to accept cookies from us, you can instruct your browser to refuse cookies from our website. This may result in us being unable to provide you with some of your desired content and services.
Most browsers are configured to accept cookies by default, but you can update these settings to either refuse cookies altogether, or to notify you when a website is trying to set or update a cookie.
If you browse websites from multiple devices, you may need to update your settings on each individual device.
