Website Information
Cookie Policy
This policy explains how Optimus Investigations Global Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies, the choices available to you, and how those choices affect your website experience.
Your privacy choices
Strictly necessary cookies support the secure operation of our website. We will request your consent before placing non-essential analytics, preference or marketing cookies where consent is required.
1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by Optimus Investigations Global Ltd (“Optimus”, “we”, “us” or “our”). It should be read with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more generally.
Cookies may collect or generate information that can identify a device or user. Where that information is personal data, it is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable UK data-protection law.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, mobile telephone or other device when you visit a website. They enable a website to recognise a device, remember choices, maintain security and understand how pages are used.
We may also use comparable technologies, such as local storage, pixels or tags. References to “cookies” in this policy include these similar technologies where appropriate.
3. Categories of cookies
Strictly necessary
Required for core website functions, security, network management, accessibility and recording privacy choices. These cannot normally be switched off through our website.
Preferences
Remember settings or choices so the website can provide a more consistent experience. We use these only where enabled and permitted.
Analytics
Help us understand aggregated website use, performance and errors so we can improve the service. These are non-essential and require consent where applicable.
Marketing
May measure campaigns or support relevant advertising across websites. We do not place these unless they are enabled on the site and valid consent has been obtained.
4. How we may use cookies
| Purpose | Typical function | Consent position |
|---|---|---|
| Security and operation | Protecting forms, balancing traffic, preventing misuse and preserving session functions | Usually strictly necessary |
| Cookie preferences | Remembering whether you accepted or rejected optional categories | Usually strictly necessary |
| Site preferences | Remembering display, language or accessibility selections | Consent where required |
| Performance and analytics | Understanding visits, navigation, page performance and technical errors | Consent required before use |
| Campaign measurement | Understanding the effectiveness of communications or advertising | Consent required before use |
The exact cookies present may change when website features or service providers change. Our consent tool, where displayed, provides the current category choices available on the website.
5. Consent and your choices
When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice that allows you to accept, reject or customise non-essential cookies. Rejecting optional cookies will not prevent access to the main website, although some optional functions may be unavailable.
- Strictly necessary cookies may operate without consent because the service cannot function properly without them.
- Non-essential cookies will not be set before consent where UK law requires consent.
- You may withdraw or change consent at any time with the cookie-preference control displayed on the website, where available.
- Withdrawing consent does not make earlier consent-based processing unlawful.
Changing your choice: Use the “Cookie Settings” control displayed on the website. If that control is unavailable, you can manage stored cookies through your browser or contact us for assistance.
6. Third-party cookies and services
Some website functions may be provided by third parties, such as hosting, security, embedded maps, video, form protection or analytics providers. Those providers may set their own cookies when their content is loaded.
Where a third-party technology is non-essential, it should remain blocked until the required consent is given. Third parties process information under their own privacy and cookie notices, and their retention periods may differ from ours.
7. How long cookies remain
Session cookies normally expire when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until deleted. Duration depends on the cookie’s function and the service provider.
We aim to keep cookie durations proportionate to their purpose and periodically review the technologies used on the website.
8. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their privacy or security settings. You can usually configure the browser to reject all cookies, reject third-party cookies or notify you when a cookie is being placed.
Blocking all cookies may affect secure forms, preferences and other functions. Browser settings operate separately from any choices made through our website’s cookie notice.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our website, cookie use, service providers or legal obligations change. The latest version will be published on this page with its revised effective date.
