Cookie Policy
Last updated: 26 January 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Securtea uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
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 to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Securtea) 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., analytics, interactive content and advertising).
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 (we refer to these as "strictly necessary" cookies). Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website with your explicit consent.
Types of cookies we use
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you've been on the internet.

3. Functional Cookies (Future Use)
These cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our website and enable enhanced functionality and personalization. We do not currently use functional cookies, but this category is available for future features that improve your experience.
How can you control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner when you first visit our website.
Cookie Preference Center
- On your first visit: A cookie consent banner will appear at the bottom left of the screen asking for your preferences.
- Cookie Settings link: You can access cookie settings at any time through the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website.
- Account settings: When logged in, you can manage your cookie preferences in your account settings.
- Withdrawing consent: You can change your mind at any time and withdraw your consent. When you withdraw consent for analytics cookies, they will be immediately deleted and tracking will stop.
Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow some control of cookies through browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
However, please note that if you block or delete strictly necessary cookies, you may not be able to access secure areas of the website or certain features may not work properly.
What about other tracking technologies?
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. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our website to another.
In many cases, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
How often will we update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
