Cookies
We use cookies and pixels on our website, so that we can monitor traffic, visitor behaviour and referral sources and interactions from Social Media platforms. A cookie is a small file, downloaded on to a device when the user accesses certain websites. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device. Your browser will usually automatically accept cookies of the sites that you visit and you can often adjust this setting in your browser options.

Keeping Our Records Accurate
We aim to keep our information about you as accurate as possible. If you would like to review or change the details you have supplied to us, you may do so at any time by contacting us via info@platformperformance.co.uk

Disclosing Information to Others
Other than the disclosures referred to in this notice, we will not disclose any personal information without your permission unless we are legally entitled or obliged to do so (for example, if required to do so by Court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime). We will not sell or share your data.

What information do we hold about you?

• The contact information you provide to us when you sign up, purchase or enquire about our services.
  
  
• Usage information in respect of any of the services we provide.
  
  
• Information we collect via cookies and related technology.
  
  
• IP address, identification number, online identifier, browser information, location data and other similar identifying information required for your devices to communicate with websites and applications on the internet.
  
  

• Positioning information on a smartphone screen, tablet device or other screen so that you can see the website and use its functionality.
• When you add something to the online shopping basket, cookies make sure it’s still there when you get to the checkout.
• Some are session cookies which make it possible to navigate through the website smoothly.
• Keeping you logged in during your visit or enabling you to stream content; without cookies you might have to log in on every website you visit or repeatedly adjust your volume and viewing settings.

• Remembering your preferences and settings, including marketing preferences, such as choosing whether you wish to receive marketing information.
• Remembering if you’ve filled in a survey, so you’re not asked to do it again.
• Remembering if you’ve been to the application or website before.
• Restricting the number of times you’re shown a particular advertisement. This is sometimes called ‘frequency capping’.
• Showing you information that’s relevant to content, products or services that you receive.
• Giving you access to content provided by social-media sites like Facebook or Twitter.
• Showing ‘related article’ links that are relevant to the information you’re looking at.
• Remembering an application or website you’ve entered, such as weather forecasts.
  
• Analytics:
  We like to keep track of what websites, information and links are popular and which ones don’t get used so much, to help us keep our information relevant and up to date. It’s also very useful to be able to identify trends of how people navigate (find their way through) our information and when and where ‘error messages’ may originate.
  This group of cookies, often called ‘analytics cookies’ are used to gather this information. The information collected is grouped with the information from everyone else’s cookies. We can then see the overall patterns of usage rather than any one person’s activity. Analytics cookies are used to improve how an application, a website and its pages work.
  Our applications, web locations, websites and communications you get from us contain small invisible images known as ‘web beacons’ or ‘ pixels’. These are used to manage the interaction between you and the online information or email and allows us to assess the effectiveness of the communication.
  
  

Affiliate cookies
We use ‘affiliate’ cookies. Some of our web based information will contain promotional links to other companies’ sites. If you follow one of these links and then register with or buy something from that other site, a cookie is used to tell the other site that you came from one of our sites. That other site may then pay us a small amount for the successful referral. For more information, see the Internet Advertising Bureau’s guide about how affiliate marketing works.

Controlling my cookies
How can I see and manage my cookies in my browser?
Virtually all modern browsers allow you to see what cookies you’ve got, and to clear them individually or clear all of them. To find out how to do this, go to aboutcookies.org, which contains comprehensive information on how to do this on a wide variety of desktop browsers.

How can I choose not to receive Online Behavioural Advertising and other tracking cookies?
In addition to the controls available on your computer, there are other ways of choosing not to receive Online Behavioural Advertising and other tracking cookies.
Please note that most of these choices work by setting a cookie that overrides the behavioural advertising cookie. If you clear all your cookies, you will also clear these opt-out cookies, therefore changing your preferences. In this instance you would need to choose again.
