Introduction

Welcome to the Cookie Usage Policy of Fundistrial. We are dedicated to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring transparency about the information we collect through our website. This comprehensive policy outlines how we use cookies and related tracking technologies to enhance your experience while complying with applicable privacy and data protection laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act for jurisdictions that require stringent measures for personal data handling.

Our objective is to provide you with clear and detailed information regarding the types of cookies we use, the purposes behind their usage, the retention periods of the data collected, and the security measures in place to protect your information. We encourage you to read this policy carefully to understand our practices and exercise your rights regarding your own personal data.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to help websites operate more efficiently as well as to provide information to the site’s owners. Cookies enable our site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them whenever you return to the site or browse from one page to another.

In addition to standard cookies, we employ similar tracking technologies such as web beacons and pixel tags to monitor and analyze user activity on our website. These tools work autonomously or in conjunction with cookies to gather data about your visit and usage patterns. This helps us improve our website’s functionality and create a more personalized experience for you.

Types of Cookies We Use

At Fundistrial, we use a variety of cookies to fulfill different purposes. Below is a detailed description of the primary categories:

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are crucial for enabling core functionalities on the website, such as page navigation, secure areas, and access to parts of the website that are restricted to registered users. Without these cookies, many features of the site would not work properly.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: We use these cookies to collect information about how visitors interact with our website. The data gathered is used to improve the performance, usability, and overall functionality of the site. This includes tracking visitor behavior, the frequency of visits, and the pages most visited. The aggregated information helps us optimize your experience.
• Functionality Cookies: Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of web pages that you can use.
• Targeting and Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies may also be placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.

In some cases, on-page elements or third-party content may trigger additional types of cookies, but these will be subject to separate policies. We ensure that any data collected through these means is managed in compliance with the applicable legal frameworks.

Consent and Control

By accessing or using our website, you are consenting to the use of cookies in accordance with this Policy. We will obtain your consent prior to placing non-essential cookies on your device. During your first visit, you may be presented with a cookie banner that provides you with options to customize your preferences. You have the ability to accept only essential cookies or to opt into additional cookies that enhance the functionality and personalization of the site.

Should you wish to modify or withdraw your consent at any time, you are free to adjust your browser settings to reject cookies or remove any stored cookies. Instructions for managing cookies can typically be found within the "settings" or "preferences" menu of your web browser. Please note that certain features of the website might not function as intended if you choose to disable cookies.

Data Collection, Storage, and Retention

The personal data collected via cookies is used exclusively for purposes of enhancing user experience, performing website analytics, and optimizing our services. We collect and store only the minimum amount of information necessary to achieve these goals. Information such as your browsing behavior, pages visited, and the duration of your visit is aggregated and processed in accordance with the principles of data minimization and purpose limitation.

The retention period for cookies and the data derived from them depends on the type of cookie in question. Essential cookies are stored for the duration of your session or for as long as they are necessary to provide a service. For performance and analytics cookies, we typically retain aggregated data for a period that allows us to analyze trends while not compromising the security of your information. Any personally identifying information is securely stored and retained only for as long as required by law or for as long as necessary to resolve disputes or enforce our legal agreements.

In compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, we ensure that your personal data is processed and stored with robust protective measures. We perform regular reviews of our data storage practices and retention schedules to ensure adherence to applicable legal standards.

Data Security

Protecting your data is of paramount importance to us. We implement a range of security measures including encryption, secure servers, and access control protocols designed to prevent unauthorized access to your personal information transmitted via cookies. Our security protocols are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure we maintain a high standard of data protection.

Although no method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure, we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data. In the event of a data breach or any incident that compromises the information collected by cookies, we have procedures in place to notify you and relevant regulatory authorities as required by law.

Third-Party Cookies and Tracking Technologies

On occasion, third-party service providers may also place cookies on your device when you visit our website.
