Cookie Policy
A clear explanation of how cookies and similar technologies may be used on the ORSA VERIFY LIMITED website, why they may be required and how visitors can manage their choices.
A straightforward explanation of how this website uses cookies.
ORSA VERIFY LIMITED may use cookies and similar technologies where they are required for website operation, security, relevant preferences or other permitted website functions.
This Cookie Policy explains the main categories of cookies and similar technologies that may be used, their purposes, their expected duration and the choices available to visitors.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that may be stored on a visitor’s device when a website is accessed.
Cookies and similar technologies can allow a website to recognise a device, remember a selected preference, maintain a technical session, support security or provide information about how the website is being used.
The term “cookies” is also commonly used to describe related technologies such as local storage, tracking pixels, scripts, tags and other technologies capable of storing or accessing information on a device.
How we use cookies
ORSA VERIFY LIMITED may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes connected with the operation and administration of this website.
- To support essential website functionality.
- To maintain website security and help protect website functions.
- To maintain technical sessions where required.
- To remember relevant website preferences where such functionality is provided.
- To support website forms and related technical functions where required.
- To understand general website usage where an appropriate analytics service is enabled and the required conditions have been satisfied.
- To support third-party website functions, such as an embedded map, where applicable.
The ORSA VERIFY LIMITED website is primarily an information, consultation and enquiry website. It is not presented as an online retail store.
Cookie categories
The technologies used on the website may be considered within the following categories.
The precise technologies active on the website can change when WordPress plugins, hosting systems, embedded services or other website functions are updated.
Strictly necessary technologies
Some cookies or similar technologies may be necessary for the technical operation of the website or for providing a function specifically requested by a visitor.
Examples may include technologies used for security, technical sessions, load balancing or essential website functionality.
Where a technology is genuinely necessary to provide the online service requested by a visitor, applicable rules may allow it to operate without separate consent.
A technology is not treated as strictly necessary merely because it is useful or convenient for website administration. Its purpose and circumstances must be considered.
Preference technologies
Where the website uses technology to remember a visitor’s non-essential preference, it will be handled according to the applicable requirements.
Preference technologies may, for example, remember a selected website setting so that the visitor does not need to select the same option repeatedly.
The duration of a preference technology should be appropriate to the purpose for which the preference is required and should not be retained longer than reasonably necessary.
Analytics technologies
If an analytics service is installed and enabled, it may provide information about general website usage, such as pages viewed, approximate usage patterns, technical information and interactions with website content.
Analytics technologies are not automatically treated as strictly necessary simply because they help a website operator understand website performance or visitor behaviour.
Where consent is required, analytics technologies will only be activated after the appropriate consent has been obtained.
If no analytics service is currently installed or enabled, no analytics technology will be activated merely because analytics is described as a possible category in this policy.
Google Maps
The website may include an embedded Google Maps feature on the Contact page or within the website footer to provide visitors with a visual representation of the business location.
An embedded map is provided by a third-party service. Depending on how the map is implemented and accessed, information may be transmitted to the relevant third-party provider and that provider may use its own storage or access technologies.
Where a third-party technology requires consent under applicable rules, it will be handled through the relevant consent mechanism before being activated.
Google’s own privacy and cookie information may also apply to information processed through Google services.
Duration and storage periods
Cookies may be session-based or persistent.
A session cookie normally remains available for the relevant browser session and is generally removed when that session ends.
A persistent cookie may remain on a device for a defined period or until it is removed by the website, the relevant service or the visitor.
There is no single fixed period that applies to every type of cookie. The appropriate retention period depends on the purpose and should be limited to what is necessary for that purpose.
Consent for optional technologies
Where consent is required, optional cookies and similar technologies will not be activated before the relevant consent has been obtained.
Consent should be freely given, specific, informed and involve a clear affirmative action.
Simply continuing to browse a website, closing a notice or relying only on information contained in a privacy or cookie policy does not by itself establish valid consent where consent is legally required.
Your choice matters
Essential website technologies may operate where permitted by applicable rules. Optional technologies will be handled according to the relevant consent requirements.
Managing your cookie choices
Where a cookie preference mechanism is provided on the website, visitors can use that mechanism to review or change their choices concerning optional technologies.
Where applicable, withdrawal of consent should be possible through an appropriate mechanism without unnecessary difficulty.
Browser settings
Most modern browsers allow visitors to view, remove, block or restrict cookies through their privacy and security settings.
Browser settings can normally be used to reject certain cookies, delete existing cookies or receive a notification when a cookie is being stored.
Blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect website functionality where those technologies are required for technical operation.
Third-party technologies
Certain functions on the website may be supplied by third-party providers.
Depending on the website configuration, these may include embedded map services, website infrastructure, form-related services, security functions or analytics services.
A third-party provider may place or access its own cookies or similar technologies when its service is used.
The relevant third party’s own privacy and cookie information may therefore also apply to the processing associated with that service.
We do not state that a specific third-party cookie is active unless the corresponding service is actually configured on the website.
Reviewing website technologies
We may review the cookies and similar technologies used on the website when website functionality, plugins, embedded services, hosting arrangements or other technical configurations change.
The website should also be reviewed periodically to ensure that the technologies being used remain appropriate for their stated purposes.
Where a material change affects optional technologies or the way visitor information is handled, the relevant website information and consent arrangements may be updated where required.
Relationship with our Privacy Policy
Cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of personal information, depending on the technology and the information collected.
Our Privacy Policy explains how ORSA VERIFY LIMITED handles personal information more generally, including information submitted through the website, enquiries and information connected with our business information review and consultation services.
Please read our Privacy Policy for further information.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when there are changes to the website, its technical configuration, the services incorporated into it or the legal requirements applicable to cookies and similar technologies.
The latest version published on this website will apply to the website from the time it is made available.
Where a change materially affects the use of optional technologies or the choices available to visitors, the relevant information will be updated where required.
