Cookies

Introduction

Tech Ascent (“we”, “us” or “our”) use cookies and similar tools across our websites to improve their performance and enhance your experience. This policy explains how we do that.

 

What is a cookie? 

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that is downloaded on to your computer when you visit a website, which enables the website to tailor its offerings to your preferences when you visit it.

 

There are two main types of cookies:

 

  • A session cookie only exists for the duration of your visit to a website. They recognise your computer or smartphone as you move between pages. These cookies can be used, for example, to maintain secure logins.
  • A persistent cookie stays on your device for a set period of time and can be used, for example, to remember you when you next visit the website.

The source of each cookie also varies. Some cookies are owned and created by Tech Ascent ('first-party' cookies), but others are supplied by independent companies ('third-party' cookies).

 

Cookies are NOT viruses, any kind of malware, programs or applications. Cookies can't see the files on your computer. We prioritise your privacy and handle all gathered information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

 

The cookies used on Tech Ascent website fall into various categories:

 

  1. Essential
  2. Analytics and advertising

What all of this means is that you get the best possible user experience and relevant information based on your needs.

 

1. Essential

Essential cookies enable smooth navigation of the website and access to key features, such as secure areas, while also remembering form information within a session, balancing visitor load across servers, displaying the correct version of the site for your device, tracking user sessions, and recording your cookie consent preferences.
