Cookie Policy

Scope of this policy

This policy applies to cookies and similar browser technologies used on the public ToqXcel website. It should be read with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more broadly.

Client portals, recruitment platforms, support systems, event services or other third-party tools may use different technologies and provide their own notices when you access them.

What cookies and similar technologies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website may place on your browser or device. Cookies can remember information between page requests or visits, support security, retain preferences, measure website use or help deliver advertising.

Similar technologies include local or session storage, pixels, tags and software development tools that store or read information on a device. References to “cookies” in this policy include these technologies where relevant.

How this website currently uses cookies

The current public website does not intentionally use advertising cookies, marketing pixels or cookie-based website analytics. We do not currently use cookies to build advertising profiles or follow visitors across unrelated websites.

Essential cookies or short-lived browser data may be used where technically necessary to protect a form, maintain security, balance traffic, remember a consent decision or provide a feature requested by you. Their precise presence can vary by page, hosting configuration and whether an interactive service is enabled.

Categories we use or may use

Strictly necessary technologies

Necessary technologies may be used without an optional-cookie choice when they are required to deliver a service you request or protect the website. Examples include anti-forgery protection for forms, secure session continuity, abuse prevention, load balancing and recording whether a consent notice has been answered.

These technologies are not used for behavioural advertising. Blocking them may cause a form, security control or other requested feature to stop working correctly.

Preferences, analytics and marketing

Preference cookies can remember voluntary choices. Analytics can help us understand which content is useful and identify performance problems. Marketing technologies can measure a campaign or support targeted communications.

These categories are not currently enabled on the public website. If we introduce them, we will identify the relevant providers and purposes, state suitable durations, and provide a way to accept or reject non-essential categories before they operate where required by applicable law.

Third-party services and links

A link to an external website does not place that website’s cookies on your device merely because the link appears here. If you follow it, the third party may use cookies under its own policy.

If ToqXcel later embeds a video, map, scheduling tool, chat service or social-media content, the provider may receive technical information or place cookies when the feature loads or when you interact with it. We will assess such services and add appropriate notice or consent controls before deployment.

Your cookie choices

Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies and to restrict third-party storage. Browser help pages explain the controls available for your device. Private browsing can also limit how long some information remains, but does not make activity anonymous to websites or network providers.

At present there are no optional ToqXcel website cookie categories to manage. If that changes, a consent control will allow available choices to be reviewed and changed. Browser settings remain available independently.

Cookie duration and retention

Session cookies normally expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry or until you delete them. Any necessary cookie will be kept only for the period required for its security, operational or consent-record purpose.

If optional cookies are introduced, their purpose and expected duration will be identified through the consent information or an updated cookie list.

Cookies and personal information

Some cookie identifiers and associated technical information may be personal information when they can distinguish a device or be linked with other data. Where that occurs, we handle the information as described in our Privacy Policy, including relevant safeguards, sharing and rights.

Do not use website cookie controls or form fields to submit passwords, private keys, payment information or unnecessary sensitive data.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when website technologies, providers, purposes or legal requirements change. The current version and effective date will be published here. A material change involving optional cookies will also be reflected in the relevant consent interface.
