1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owner about how visitors use the site.
Cookies can be ‘session cookies’ (which expire when you close your browser) or ‘persistent cookies’ (which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them). Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (‘first-party cookies’) or by third-party services operating on that site (‘third-party cookies’).
Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage work in analogous ways to cookies and are governed by this policy.

- Mackessy Technology Ltd (trading as MTX) – as the first-party operator of this website; and
- Third-party service providers whose services we use to operate and improve this website, such as analytics providers and embedded content platforms.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.
Legal basis: These cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a functional website, or because they are technically necessary. They do not require your consent under applicable ePrivacy rules.
Examples include session management cookies, security tokens, and CSRF protection cookies.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular and how visitors move around the site. All information collected is aggregated and does not identify individuals.
Legal basis: Your consent.
We may use services such as Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use our site (pages visited, time on site, referring URLs, browser/device type). This data is processed by Google in accordance with their privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
If you do not allow these cookies, we will not be able to monitor and improve the performance of our site.
3.3 Functionality Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages, such as video embeds (e.g. YouTube).

If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly, and certain features (such as embedded videos) may not be available.
3.4 Targeting and Marketing Cookies
These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
Legal basis: Your consent.
We may use tracking pixels or similar technologies in connection with LinkedIn, Google Ads, or other platforms for retargeting and campaign measurement purposes.
