Cookie Policy
A clear explanation of how cookies and similar website technologies may be used when you visit the MTECH CONSULTING website.
A straightforward approach to cookies.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why they may be used on this website, and the choices available to visitors.
Cookies are small text files that can be stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website remember information, operate correctly, understand how pages are used and provide a more consistent browsing experience.
We aim to use website technologies only where they have a clear and useful purpose. The types of cookies used can depend on the features available on the website and how the website is being operated at the time.
Why cookies may be used.
Different cookies can serve different purposes. Some are necessary for a website to function properly, while others help provide information about how visitors use the website.
- Remembering preferences or information needed during a website session.
- Supporting essential website functions and page navigation.
- Helping us understand which pages and website features are useful to visitors.
- Monitoring general website performance and identifying technical issues.
- Supporting website security and reliable operation.
Not every type of cookie will necessarily be active on every visit. The technologies used may change as website features and technical requirements develop.
The main types of cookies.
| Category | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | These cookies support functions required for the website to operate, such as navigation, session handling or other essential technical features. | Session or according to the specific cookie setting. |
| Preference | These cookies may remember choices made during a visit so that certain website settings or preferences can be maintained. | Usually a limited period, depending on the specific technology. |
| Analytics | These cookies may provide general information about website visits, page usage and website performance. | According to the relevant analytics configuration. |
| Functional | These cookies may support additional website features and improve how certain parts of the website work. | Session or a defined period, depending on the technology. |
Cookie duration can vary between individual cookies. Where a cookie has a specific expiry period, that period is determined by the website feature or service using it.
Cookies needed for the website to work.
Some cookies may be required for basic website functions. These can help the website maintain a session, process a form correctly, remember temporary information or provide a requested function.
Because these technologies support essential website functions, they may not be available for removal through ordinary preference controls. Where a necessary cookie is not used, certain parts of the website may not operate as intended.
Understanding how the website is used.
Analytics technologies may be used to provide general information about website activity. This can include information such as pages visited, approximate visit duration, browser or device type, and general interaction with website features.
This information can help identify pages that need improvement, understand general website usage and maintain a reliable online experience.
Analytics information is considered in aggregate wherever practical and is not intended to be used as a way of identifying individual visitors through the website itself.
Services that may place their own cookies.
Some website functions may rely on services provided by third parties. Depending on the features available on the website, these services may use their own cookies or similar technologies.
Examples can include website analytics, embedded content, security functions, form technology or other technical services used to operate particular website features.
Third-party technologies are controlled by the relevant service provider. Their own privacy and cookie information may therefore apply to the technologies they provide.
Where relevant, visitors should review the information provided by the relevant third-party service to understand how its technology operates.
You can manage cookies through your browser.
Most modern web browsers allow visitors to view, block or delete cookies through their browser settings.
The available controls differ between browsers. You can normally find cookie and privacy controls within the browser’s settings or preferences area.
Blocking all cookies may affect some website functions. In particular, features that rely on session information, saved preferences or other necessary technologies may not operate correctly.
Your choices matter.
Where the website provides a cookie preference or consent control, you can use it to manage the categories of cookies that require your choice.
You can change your preferences where the available cookie controls allow this. You can also use your browser settings to restrict or remove cookies stored on your device.
Your browser may also allow you to remove cookies that have already been stored. Removing cookies does not necessarily prevent them from being created again if the relevant website function is used later.
How long cookies remain.
Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies.
Session cookies
Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. They are commonly used where information is only needed during your current visit.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until they are removed. Their duration depends on the purpose of the cookie and the settings of the technology using it.
Where a cookie is no longer needed, it should not be retained beyond the period required for its stated purpose.
Cookies and enquiries.
If you use a contact or booking form on the website, certain technical information may be required to allow the form to function correctly.
This can include session information or other technical identifiers used to maintain the form process, prevent repeated submissions or support the reliable delivery of the information entered.
Cookies are not used as a substitute for the information provided directly by a visitor through a contact or booking form.
Keeping the website reliable.
Technical information and similar website technologies may be used to monitor general website performance and help identify technical problems.
This can help with page loading, website availability, compatibility and the general operation of website features.
Information used for these purposes is kept only for as long as it is useful for the relevant technical or operational purpose.
Keeping this policy current.
The cookies and technologies used by a website can change as new features are introduced, existing services are updated or technical requirements develop.
This Cookie Policy may therefore be updated from time to time so that it continues to describe the way cookies and similar technologies are used on the website.
The latest version published on this page will apply to your use of the website.
