Cookie Policy
PLUSSOFT LTD
This policy explains the types of cookies we use on our website, the purposes for which we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. It is intended to comply with the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
1. Purpose and Scope
This Cookie Policy explains how PLUSSOFT LTD (“Plussoft” or the “Company”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (the “Site”). By visiting the Site, cookies may be set on your device in accordance with your selections in our cookie preference panel. This document covers cookie use only; for information about how we handle personal data more generally, please see our Privacy Policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners and improve user experience.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for core site functionality (e.g. page navigation, form submission, security). These are set without consent because the service would not function properly without them.
- Performance / Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g. page views, error diagnostics) so we can improve performance. These require your consent.
- Functionality (Preference) Cookies: Remember choices such as language or region to provide enhanced features. These require your consent.
- Targeting / Advertising Cookies: Used to deliver more relevant content or measure the effectiveness of campaigns. These require your consent.
4. Legal Basis and Consent (UK)
Under UK law (UK GDPR and PECR), strictly necessary cookies can be used without consent because they are essential to provide the service you request. All other cookie categories are used only with your consent, which you can give or withdraw at any time via our cookie preference panel.
5. Third-Party Cookies and International Transfers
We may use third-party services for performance, security, analytics and marketing measurement. These providers may set their own cookies, and data may be processed on servers located in the UK, EEA or other countries. Where data is transferred outside the UK, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g. the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or other UK-approved mechanisms). For non-essential cookies, transfers occur only when you have provided consent.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your preferences in two ways:
- Cookie Preference Panel: Use the banner shown on first visit or the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer to enable/disable non-essential categories. Options typically include “Accept all”, “Reject all”, and “Save preferences”.
- Browser Settings: You can block or delete cookies via your browser. Please note that disabling cookies may affect some Site functionality.
7. Retention
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their set expiry or until you delete them. Lifetimes vary by purpose, cookie type and provider.
8. Security
Personal data collected via cookies is protected using appropriate technical and organisational measures, including access controls, encryption where appropriate, monitoring/logging and supplier due diligence.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in law or our practices. Updates take effect when posted on this page. Please check back periodically.
