Cookies

This Cookie Policy of Nacda explains how our website uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and store information about your use of our website. We encourage you to read this policy in full so that you can understand what information we collect using cookies and how that information is used.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites. They 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, us) 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. like advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Types of cookies we use:

We use the following types of cookies:

  1. Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
  2. Performance cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for example, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works.
  3. Functionality cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
  4. Targeting cookies: These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization.

How to control and delete cookies:

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

You can also delete cookies already stored on your computer or mobile device at any time. However, deleting cookies may prevent you from using parts of the website.

Changes to our Cookie Policy:

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Therefore, we recommend that you check this policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
