Cookie Policy
How we use cookies and similar technologies on our website.
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how iDeedworks (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website and interact with our services. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your device (computer, tablet, mobile) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, IdeedWorks) 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 (e.g., analytics, advertising).
3. Types of cookies we use
- Strictly Necessary Cookies — Required for core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies.
- Performance & Analytics Cookies — Help us understand how our website is used so we can improve it (e.g., page views, navigation paths, load times).
- Functionality Cookies — Remember choices you make (such as language or region) to provide enhanced features.
- Targeting/Advertising Cookies — May be set by third-party partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other sites.
4. Why we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- Enable core site functionality and session management
- Maintain security and prevent fraudulent activity
- Remember your preferences and improve user experience
- Measure and improve site performance and content
- Support marketing and outreach activities (where applicable)
5. Managing your cookie preferences
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can exercise your preferences via:
- Browser Controls: Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies. Please consult your browser’s help documentation for details.
- Private/Incognito Mode: Use private browsing to limit persistent storage of cookies.
- Third-Party Opt-Outs: For interest-based advertising, you may opt out via tools such as the NAI or DAA (availability varies by region).
Note: Blocking some cookies may impact your experience and certain features may not function properly.
6. Third-party cookies and similar technologies
We may use third-party services (for example, analytics providers) that set cookies or use technologies like pixels, tags, and local storage to collect information about your activity over time and across websites. These third parties process data according to their own privacy policies.
7. Analytics
We use analytics to understand how visitors engage with our site (e.g., which pages are visited, bounce rates, and general usage patterns). Analytics services generate aggregate reports that help us improve performance and usability. You can typically opt out of analytics cookies via your browser settings or tools provided by the analytics vendor.
8. Advertising
If advertising or retargeting is in use, third-party partners may set cookies to deliver relevant content on other websites. You can usually opt out of interest-based advertising using the tools mentioned under “Managing your cookie preferences.”
9. Data retention
Cookie retention periods vary based on their purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain on your device until they are deleted or reach their set expiry date.
10. Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page regularly to stay informed. The “Last updated” date will be shown at the top of the page when changes are made.
