Everlight Cookie Policy
Introduction
This policy sets out Everlight’s approach to cookie compliance across the company’s website and describes our practices regarding the collection of information from visitors when they visit our website through cookies and other tracking technologies.
The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) require organizations placing cookies onto visitors’ computers via their websites to obtain “consent” after providing clear and comprehensive information about how cookies and other tracking technologies are used. To comply with this requirement, we:
- Identify cookies and other tracking technologies served through this website, including their purposes, expiry, and whether they are first or third-party cookies.
- Provide ‘clear and comprehensive’ information about website cookies with the appropriate level of disclosure corresponding with the intrusiveness of each cookie.
- Decide on an appropriate strategy for obtaining consent for website cookies, considering their use and intrusiveness. Certain types of cookies may qualify for legal exemptions; where this is the case, consent will not be required for these cookies.
Scope
This policy applies to all wholly owned Everlight businesses.
The target audience for this policy includes those responsible for leading and supporting cookie compliance on the Everlight website. This policy is particularly significant for:
- Governance & Risk Team
- Technology Team
- Marketing Team
Definitions
A cookie is a piece of data contained in a very small text file that is stored in your browser or elsewhere on your hard drive. Cookies allow the company to identify your device as you navigate through our publicly accessible website (the Everlight site) or our portal.
Roles and Responsibilities
The Data Protection Officer (DPO) and Director of Governance & Risk are responsible for the implementation and review of the Cookies Policy.
Key Concepts
First and Third-Party Cookies
- First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time (e.g., cookies placed by our website domain).
- Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than that of the website being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie.
Persistent Cookies These cookies remain on a user’s device for the period specified in the cookie and are activated each time the user visits the website that created that cookie.
Session Cookies These cookies link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and ends when they close it. Session cookies are created temporarily and are deleted once the browser is closed. A complete list of the cookies we use can be viewed in the cookies table below.
Cookies Used on the Website
Cookies are used on our website primarily to improve your online experience. This website uses the following types of cookies:
Strictly Necessary Cookies These cookies are essential for enabling you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided.
Performance Cookies These cookies collect information about how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited most often and if error messages are received. They do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information collected is aggregated and anonymous, used solely to improve website functionality.
Functionality Cookies These cookies are used to provide services or to remember choices you make (such as language or region settings, layout preferences, and engagement with specific components of the website).
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to the above cookies, Everlight also uses Google Analytics to collect and compile information such as the number of visitors, their sources, and the pages they visit. If you access other websites from our site using provided links, those websites may use cookies in accordance with their own policies, which may differ from ours.
We do not use cookies to store personal information that could be read or understood by others.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites from third-party companies like Facebook, X, and LinkedIn. These cookies aim to display ads relevant to individual users, making them more valuable for publishers and advertisers. They are set by our advertising partners and are used to build a profile of your interests and show relevant ads on other sites. They do not store directly identifiable personal information.
How to Delete and Block Our Cookies
Most web browsers allow control of most cookies through browser settings. However, blocking all cookies (including strictly necessary cookies) may prevent access to some parts of the website. Unless users adjust their browser settings to refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies as soon as a user visits the site.
Validity of Policy
This policy is reviewed once every three years by the Governance Team and approved by the Global IGF.
Changing Your Cookie Settings
Browser settings for changing cookie settings are usually found in the 'options' or 'preferences' menu of the internet browser. For more information about cookies, including how to view, manage, and delete them, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
