Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how reply.global uses cookies and similar technologies, what they are used for and the choices available to visitors.
About cookies
Cookies are small files or pieces of information that websites can store on or access from a visitor's browser or device. Similar technologies can perform related functions.
Cookies can be used for different reasons, including operating website features, maintaining security, remembering a user preference and understanding how a website performs.
Some cookies are technically necessary for a website or service requested by the user. Other cookies are optional and are subject to the consent requirements that apply to their particular purpose.
How reply.global uses cookies
reply.global uses cookies and similar technologies only where they have a defined website, security, preference or measurement purpose.
Technologies that are strictly necessary may operate in order to provide the requested website functionality, maintain security, support technical delivery or remember a choice that is required for the requested service.
Technologies that are not strictly necessary are subject to the consent requirements applicable to their purpose.
Cookie categories
Cookies and similar technologies relevant to reply.global can fall into the following categories.
| Category | Purpose | Consent approach | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Technical operation, security, service delivery or functionality requested by the visitor. | Consent is generally not required where the technology is genuinely necessary for the requested service. | Limited to the period reasonably required for the relevant function. |
| Preferences | Remembering a setting or choice, including a cookie or consent preference where applicable. | Depends on the specific purpose and whether the technology is necessary to provide a choice expressly requested by the user. | Appropriate to the setting being remembered. |
| Analytics | Measuring website use, performance and interaction where analytics are enabled. | Activated only in accordance with applicable consent requirements. | Determined by the analytics configuration and limited to an appropriate period. |
Strictly necessary technologies
Strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies may be used where they are required for reply.global to operate correctly and securely or to provide functionality expressly requested by the visitor.
This can include technical functionality relating to website delivery, security, session handling and the storage of a visitor's cookie or privacy preference.
These technologies are limited to purposes that are necessary for the relevant website or service function.
Preference technologies
Preference technologies can be used to remember choices made by a visitor where doing so provides or improves functionality that the visitor has requested.
A cookie may also be used to remember a visitor's cookie choices so that those preferences do not need to be requested on every page visit.
Analytics
Analytics technologies can help Reply understand how reply.global is being used, assess website performance and identify areas where the website experience or technical performance can be improved.
Where an analytics technology is not strictly necessary and consent is required, it will not be activated until the visitor has provided valid consent.
Analytics information is used for website measurement and improvement rather than to determine whether an individual business enquiry should be accepted or rejected.
Third-party technologies
Some website functionality may depend on services supplied by third-party technology providers, for example infrastructure, security, analytics or embedded website functionality.
Where a third party uses a non-essential cookie or similar technology through reply.global, that technology is subject to the applicable consent requirements and the relevant provider's privacy or cookie information.
Your cookie choices
Where consent is required for optional cookies or similar technologies, visitors are given a choice about whether those technologies may be used.
Accepting optional cookies is not required in order to access the core public content of reply.global.
A visitor who has consented to optional technologies may change or withdraw that consent using the cookie preference controls made available on the website.
Browser controls
Web browsers generally provide controls that allow users to view, delete or block cookies stored through the browser.
Browser-level blocking may affect website features that depend on a technically necessary cookie or on a preference expressly requested by the visitor.
How long cookies remain
Some cookies operate only for the duration of a browser session. Others can remain for a longer period where this is necessary to remember a setting or perform their stated function.
Cookie duration should be proportionate to the purpose for which the cookie is used and should not be longer than reasonably necessary for that purpose.
Cookies & personal information
Information associated with cookies or similar technologies can, in some circumstances, constitute personal information or be combined with other information in a way that relates to an identifiable person.
Where personal information is processed, further information about how Reply handles personal information is available in the Privacy Policy.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
Reply may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to website functionality, the technologies used through reply.global or applicable privacy and cookie requirements.
The current version of the policy is published on this page and the revision date is shown above.
