Protecting and Respecting your online privacy and our use of Cookies
Intasoft Ltd respects your right to privacy and is committed to protecting you and any/all data (anonymous or otherwise) that we collect about you through the use of Cookies.
On this page we tell you how we use cookies, why, and how this allows us to improve your experience whilst using our website and of course, our service to you.
It is important that you realise that by using our websites (through any device) you are agreeing implicitly that our Cookies Policy applies to that use in addition to any other terms and conditions which may apply.
We reserve the right to make changes to this Cookies Policy. Any such changes shall appear here and become effective immediately. Your continued use of our websites is taken as meaning that you agree to any such changes.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to the device you use when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies do lots of different and useful jobs, such as remembering your preferences, and generally improving your online experience.
There are different types of cookies. They all work in the same way, but have minor differences:
Session cookies
Session cookies last only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser. These facilitate various tasks such as allowing a website to identify that a user of a particular device is navigating from page to page, supporting website security or basic functionality.
Our session cookies are used for security and are designed to be very difficult to read, change, access or use except by us when you have an active Internet session. They contain no personal information that can be used to identify an individual.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies last after you have closed your browser, and allow a website to remember your actions and preferences. Sometimes persistent cookies are used by websites to provide targeted advertising based upon the browsing history of the device.
Intasoft Ltd makes limited use of ‘persistent’ cookies. A typical use is, for example, when you log on to the members area. We use a cookie named “ForumVisit” which contains information about the last forum you visited. We may also, from time to time, use persistent cookies to enable us to analyse your visits to our site. Where we do this the information is only used to understand and improve your experience of our services and therefore ensure you get the most benefit from your visit.
For full details about our cookies, we’ve put together a list of the cookies we use.

Targeting cookies

These organisations do this in order to provide you with targeted adverts more relevant to you and your interests. This type of advertising is called online behavioural advertising and those companies providing this advertising are working with the UK’s Internet Advertising Bureau to deliver more information to consumers.
Intasoft does not currently use these type of cookies on its web site.
