Cookie Policy

When you return to the site, the browser sends those files back, so the site can recognise your session, remember your preferences or measure how pages are used. Similar technologies - such as local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels - work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them all under the general term “cookies”.

A cookie typically includes the identity of the domain that created it, a value (often an arbitrary code) and an expiration time. Cookies are unable to access other data on your device and are not executable applications.

Session cookies persist only during an active browser session and vanish automatically upon window closure. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them; on this site their lifetimes range from a few days to roughly two years, depending on the purpose. The exact expiry of an individual cookie can always be inspected in your browser’s storage settings.

We keep the record of your consent choices for a limited period so that the banner does not reappear at every visit; after that period we will ask again.

Strictly necessary cookies

These keep the site usable: they maintain your session while you move between pages, balance traffic across servers, protect forms against automated abuse and remember the cookie choices you have already made. They do not build a profile of you and cannot be switched off through our banner, because without them core functions such as signing in would fail.

Preference (functionality) cookies

These retain the adjustments you select - such as language preference, geographical location, visual settings or whether you have closed a notification. They enhance user experience but are not required; should you decline them, the site continues to operate and simply prompts for your settings on each new session.

Analytics (performance) cookies

These help us count visits, see which pages are read, how long people stay and where errors occur. The reporting is aggregated: it tells us that a page is popular or slow, not who you are. We use the results to fix problems and to improve the structure of the site.

Marketing (advertising) cookies

These document the source from which you arrived, such as a specific promotion or ad, prevent duplicate messaging, and assess whether a promotion resulted in account creation. Advertising networks operating on external sites may access these. They are installed solely with your intentional agreement.

Some cookies are set by service providers acting on our behalf, for example providers of web analytics, content delivery, fraud prevention or advertising measurement. These providers may read their own cookies when you visit other sites that use the same services. We do not control the content of third-party cookies; their use of the data they collect is governed by their own privacy and cookie notices.

Where a third-party cookie is not strictly necessary, it is only placed after you have consented through the cookie banner. If you would like a list of the providers currently in use, contact support and we will provide the up-to-date details.

Albion Capitholm deploys cookies to maintain website integrity and operability, to retain your selected preferences, to analyze which sections provide value, and - if you have consented - to track the effectiveness of our promotional efforts. Essential cookies are generated upon site access because the site requires them to function. All remaining types are activated only after you provide approval, and this approval may be withdrawn whenever you choose.

Through our banner

Access the cookie notice or cookie preferences option on the website to permit or deny the preference, analytics and advertising categories. Denying a category prevents fresh cookies of that variety from being placed; previously stored cookies may be deleted via your browser settings.

Through your browser

All major browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them individually or entirely, block cookies from specific sites, block all third-party cookies, or delete everything automatically when the browser closes. You will normally find these controls under a menu named “Settings”, then “Privacy”, “Privacy and security”, “Site permissions” or “Cookies and site data”. Mobile browsers offer the same options in their settings screens, and mobile operating systems provide separate controls for advertising identifiers.

Private browsing

Opening the site in a private or incognito window means most cookies are discarded when you close that window, though this does not prevent them from being set during your visit.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site from working: you may be unable to stay signed in, submit a form or complete a secure step. Blocking preference cookies means settings such as language are not remembered. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on functionality - you will simply not be counted in our statistics and campaign measurement.

This policy receives regular assessment and revision whenever the cookies deployed, their supporting technologies or governing legislation are modified. The latest edition remains permanently accessible on this location; substantial modifications will be communicated on the site or via the cookie notice, and further engagement following such revision indicates agreement with the updated policy.

Should you have concerns regarding this policy, seek particulars about a certain cookie or wish to claim a privacy-related entitlement, kindly reach out to our customer service department via contact page. Related documents are listed in the footer of every page, including our Privacy Policy.
