Cookie Policy

Introduction

Tracking technologies, such as cookies, tags, and similar scripts, store and/or share information about website visitors, their systems, and browsers. Information collected by cookies and other tracking technologies varies depending on each website’s components. It can be of a personal nature (information that directly or indirectly identifies you) and non-personal (information that does not directly or indirectly identify any single individual, such as cookies used to enable language settings on a website). Information of a personal nature may include details about the device you are using, the browser you are using, your IP address, the previous website you visited, whether you clicked on one of our ads, and your browsing behaviour.

Some of the cookies and tracking technologies that we use are strictly necessary and are there to technically enable the website and its components and security measures. Strictly necessary cookies are activated without user consent because they are considered necessary for the website to function effectively and securely. All cookies and other tracking technologies that are not classified as strictly necessary are subject to consent from website visitors.

This notice is for visitors to our website (www.teamworkims.co.uk). It outlines information about the cookies (including similar tracking technologies) we use, the categories of information we collect, and the purposes for which the cookies and other tracking technologies collect information.

For further information on how Teamwork handles Personal Information, please see our Teamwork IMS Privacy Notice.

How do I change my cookie preferences and settings?

You can manage your cookie preferences any time you visit our website.

Cookies can also be controlled by your web browser settings. Whether our cookies are used will depend on your browser settings, so you’re in control.

To the extent that it is technically feasible, and insofar as trackers are not related to any strictly necessary purposes, we will block all non-essential trackers until you provide your consent, as we operate our sites on a strict opt-in basis to safeguard and respect your privacy.

These include all trackers used for marketing and analytics, as well as targeted advertising. Please note, however, that accepting only necessary cookies may affect your browsing experience when compared with a user who has accepted these functionalities.

Before using our websites, you will be presented with a cookie banner where you can choose to ‘allow all cookies’, ‘allow only necessary’ or ‘adjust your preferences’ for a more tailored approach to cookie management.

If you do consent to the use of non-essential trackers, you can customise and withdraw your consent at any time (except concerning strictly necessary cookies) in our Cookies Preference Centre where you can specify which cookies and tracking technologies you consent to.

You can also manage your cookie preferences by interacting with the floating cookie icon on the web page’s bottom right-hand side.

For cookies and similar technologies that are classified as strictly necessary, due to the essential nature of such technologies on our website you will not be able to disable them in our Preference Centre. The banner and Preference centre on our website has the objective of providing you with notice and transparency about our usage of strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies used in order to provide the service requested.
