What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website, or mobile app or use an online platform. Cookies are widely used by online service providers to facilitate and help to make the interaction between users and websites, mobile apps and online platforms faster and easier, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website and/or mobile app and/or platform owner (in this case, BOSS IT ) are called «first-party cookies». Cookies set by parties, other than the website and/or mobile app and/or platform owner, are called «third-party cookies». Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website and/or mobile app and/or platform (e. g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics).
The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer or device both when it visits the website and/or mobile app and/or platform in question and also when it visits certain other websites and/or mobile apps and/or platforms.
Why do we use cookies?

Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Websites and/or App and/or platform.

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website and/or mobile app and/or platform. BOSS IT 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 which enable us to recognise when someone has visited the BOSS IT Website and/or App and/or platform.
In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to advertise through our Websites and/or App and/or platform. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in, including promotions that are running and events that are on.
They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by third parties using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other websites and/or mobile apps and/or platforms in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other personally identifying details unless you choose to provide these.
How do I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links provided in the cookie table as outlined previously.
You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use the BOSS IT Website and/or App and/or platform though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising.

BOSS IT may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.
