By navigating on any of Capital Link’s websites or entering your login details to access areas reserved for registered users, you agree that we can place these cookies on your computer or internet enabled device.

Our Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use cookies and how to control cookies.

WHAT ARE COOKIES

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. Accepting the cookies used on our websites does not give us access to your personally identifiable information, but we may use the cookies to identify your computer. This enables our website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

There are a few different types of cookies. The most common are session cookies, which are temporary. They are used to manage a single browsing session. They simply tell the server that all of your requests within a period of time came from the same computer and should be treated as a single session. Session cookies are sometimes called transient cookies or temporary cookies. They are not stored on your hard drive,  but are rather kept in active memory. They are deleted when your session closes, or after a period of inactivity (usually 20 minutes or so).

Also common are permanent cookies, used to identify you over multiple independent sessions. These are the ones the handle the “Remember Me” or “Keep Me Logged In” functionality of many websites and apps.

Besides affecting your browsing experience, persistent cookies are also used for analysis and performance data tracking. They can be used to tell how long you stay on a site, how you move through the site, and other behavioral patterns. They are also used to count the number of individual, unique visitors to a site, as well as how often returning visitors come back. Capital Link uses all of this information to guide our decision making regarding everything from site design to image choice to page length and content.

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

As outlined above we use session and permanent cookies enabling us to track the information outlined above.

We also occasionally use web beacons in conjunction with cookies to compile aggregate statistics about web site usage. A web beacon is an electronic image, called a single-pixel (1×1), or clear-GIF. You may render web beacons unusable by rejecting their associated cookies. This data is not personally identifiable or linked personally identifiable information.

THIRD PARTY COOKIES
