Thank you for your interest in this Cookie Policy! At sourceXchange, we take the protection of your Personal Data very seriously.
This Cookie Policy applies to www.sourcexchange.net and in accordance with the UK's Data Protection Act of 2018 (the “DPA”), the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (“PECR”), we inform you about the use of cookies on our platform, which cookies we are using and how you can manage your consent to store cookies.
A cookie is a small simple file that is stored by your browser on the hard drive of your computer or device and sent when you visit a website. The information stored in cookies is then returned (depending on the cookie) to our servers (or to the servers of the relevant third parties) on a subsequent visit. Doing so, Cookies transmit small amounts of data about your device to the relevant web server and enables a website to recognise your computer, smartphone, or other device.
Whilst cookies can be classified through their Lifespan, i.e., whether they remain stored on your device for the duration of your browsing session, session cookies, or permanently until they are deleted or expire, permanent cookies.
A second method to classify cookies is by determining their origin or by who is placing a particular cookie. As such a distinction is drawn between first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created directly by a website, whereas third-party cookies are created by a service provider. And because of that, each cookie stores different data and as such must be evaluated individually which then leads to several types of cookies.
The least privacy invasive type of cookies are Essential or Necessary cookies. These cookies are essential or necessary to ensure that a website works properly and is secure so that you can navigate a website and use its features. Without these cookies, certain features of a website would not function, and thus you would not be able to use certain services.
There are also Functional cookies or sometimes called convenience cookies. These cookies allow a website to remember the options a user has made (including user ID's stored, consents given, or languages selected) and other personalisation options you have selected when browsing.
Further there are also Analysis and performance cookies, which are used to monitor and improve the function and service of a website. Those can track down problems when using a website, facilitate online surveys, record visitor numbers, and provide analytics metrics.
Lastly, Advertising cookies or targeting cookies. They are used to deliver customised advertising to the user. This can be very convenient, but also very annoying.
The use of cookies is regulated in the PECR and in part the DPA and GDPR. The PECR, requires us to ask for your consent when using specific cookies (in particular any cookie that is not strictly necessary for the operation of the platform, for example, Functional cookies, Analysis and performance cookies and Advertising cookies or targeting cookies).
Further and as the DPA and GDPR also require a legal basis for the use of personal data in relation to cookies, the use of cookies would then be your consent (Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR) as well as our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR).
We think it's important that you have full control over your privacy online. That's why we refrained from placing cookies that are not strictly necessary.
How and whether you want to use cookies is up to you. Regardless of which service or website the cookies come from, you always have the option to delete, only partially allow or disable cookies. To do so follow the link to your browser Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Safari.
We may from time to time update our Cookie Policy, to reflect a change in the law, in our business practices or the cookies we use.
