Cookie Policy

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our website.

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. Cookies are then sent back to the originating web domain on your subsequent visits to that domain.

Cookies allow you to navigate between pages efficiently and allows us to remember preferences and generally improve the user experience. They can also be used to connect your interaction with SitusAMC to LinkedIn tailoring the content you view on LinkedIn through tracking browsing across websites.

WHAT ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COOKIES?

A cookie can be classified by its lifespan and the domain to which it belongs.

By lifespan, cookies are either:

• Session cookies which enable a website to recognise the user’s actions during a session and which are erased when the user closes the browser, or
• Persistent cookies which allow the user’s actions and preferences to be remembered beyond a session and which remain on the user’s computer/device for a pre-defined period of time, defined within the cookie.

As for the domain to which it belongs, there are either:

• First-party cookies which are set by the web server of the visited page and share the same domain, or
• Third-party cookies stored by a different domain to the visited page’s domain. This can happen when the website references a file, such as JavaScript, located outside its domain.

IN PARTICULAR, SITUSAMC USES THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF COOKIES:

SitusAMC uses cookies to remember log-in details, provide secure log-in and to collect statistics to optimize site functionality.

• Required cookies — These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping online are an example of strictly necessary cookies. These cookies will generally be first-party session cookies.
• Functional cookies — these cookies group two different types of functions:
  • Preference cookies - these cookies allow a website to remember choices you have made in the past, like what language you prefer, what region you would like weather reports for, or what your username and password are so you can automatically log in.
  • Statistics cookies — Also known as “performance cookies,” these cookies collect information about how you use a website, like which pages you visited, and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services as long as the cookies are for the exclusive use of the owner of the website visited.
• Advertising cookies — These cookies track your online activity to help advertisers deliver more relevant advertising or to limit how many times you see an ad. These cookies can share that information with other organizations or advertisers. These are persistent cookies and almost always of third-party provenance.
