Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy is a part of Safeguard Global’s Website Privacy Policy, and serves to provide more specific information on the cookies placed on this Website. In addition to the information provided below, please consult the Website Privacy Policy to know more about who we are, how to contact us, and how we process your personal information on our Website.

1. Introduction

Our website, https://www.safeguardglobal.com (hereinafter, “the Website”) uses cookies and other related technologies (for convenience all technologies are referred to as “cookies”). Cookies are also placed by third parties we have engaged. In the document below we inform you about the use of cookies on our Website.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that may be sent to and registered on your computer by the websites you visit, to then be re-sent to those same sites when you visit them again. It is thanks to these cookies that those websites can “remember” your actions and preferences (e.g., login data, language, font size, other display settings, etc.), so that you do not need to configure them again when you next visit the website, or when you change pages within a website.

Cookies are used for electronic authentication, monitoring of sessions and storage of information regarding your activities when accessing a website. They may also contain a unique ID code which allows tracking of your browsing activities within a website, for statistical or advertising purposes. Some operations within a website may not be able to be performed without the use of cookies which, in certain cases, are technically necessary for operation of the website.

When browsing a website, you may also receive cookies from websites or web servers other than the website being visited (i.e., “third-party cookies”).

There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, which may be stored on your computer for different periods of time: “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser, and “persistent cookies”, which will remain on your device until their pre-set expiration period passes.

Depending on the applicable legislation, the use of cookies does not always require the user’s consent. In particular, "technical cookies" or “strictly necessary cookies”, i.e. those used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, do not require such consent. These are, in other words, cookies that are strictly needed for the operation of the website or necessary to perform activities requested by the user.

3. Placed cookies

The cookies in this Website are set by us (first-party cookies). We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different from the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes. The tables below explain the cookies we use (where needed, subject to your consent) and why. Each column is explained as follows:

Cookie domain: The domain (website address) from which the cookie is set or read. If this domain matches the website you are visiting (e.g., safeguardglobal.com), it is considered a first-party cookie. If it is different (e.g., provider.com), it is a third-party cookie.

Cookies: A brief reference name used to identify the cookie.

Cookies used: whether the entity that sets and manages the cookie is a third-party or not. Where we note that a cookie is placed by a “Third Party” in the table below, we will include a direct link to the third party’s own Privacy Policy, which explains how they handle personal data. We encourage you to review these third-party privacy policies for details on their data processing practices.

Expiration: The length of time the cookie remains active on your device (e.g., until the session ends or a specified number of days).

Technical (or strictly necessary) cookies. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Performance 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 to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Functional 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. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Targeting 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 adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
