Section 01

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store on your device.

Upon your subsequent visit to the site, your browser resubmits these files, enabling the site to identify your session, retain your settings, or analyze usage patterns of its pages. Analogous methods - including local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels - operate similarly, and this policy addresses all of them under the broad concept of "cookies".

A cookie typically includes the site's identifier that created it, a data value (frequently a randomly generated code) and an expiration time. Cookies are unable to access other data on your device and do not function as executable programs.

Section 02

Why we use cookies

IMCT+ uses cookies to keep the website secure and functional, to remember the choices you make, to understand which pages are useful, and - where you have agreed - to measure the performance of our marketing. Strictly necessary cookies are set as soon as you open the site because the site cannot work without them. All other categories are only activated after you give consent, and you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Section 03

The categories we use

All cookies present on this site fall into one of the four categories outlined below.

Strictly necessary cookies

These keep the site usable: they maintain your session while you move between pages, balance traffic across servers, protect forms against automated abuse and remember the cookie choices you have already made. They do not build a profile of you and cannot be switched off through our banner, because without them core functions such as signing in would fail.

Preference (functionality) cookies

These store your chosen preferences - such as your interface language, geographical location, visual settings or dismissal of informational messages. They enhance site convenience but are not required; should you decline them, the site continues to function normally and will request your preference selections upon each new visit.

Analytics (performance) cookies

These help us count visits, see which pages are read, how long people stay and where errors occur. The reporting is aggregated: it tells us that a page is popular or slow, not who you are. We use the results to fix problems and to improve the structure of the site.

Marketing (advertising) cookies

These record that you arrived from a particular campaign or advertisement, help avoid showing you the same message repeatedly, and measure whether a campaign led to a sign-up. They may be read by advertising partners on other websites. They are only set with your explicit consent.

Section 04

How long cookies live

Session cookies exist only while your browser window is open and are erased automatically when you close it. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them; on this site their lifetimes range from a few days to roughly two years, depending on the purpose. The exact expiry of an individual cookie can always be inspected in your browser’s storage settings.

We maintain a record of your consent selections for a set duration to prevent the banner from appearing during subsequent visits; upon expiration of this duration, we will request your consent anew.

Section 05

Third-party cookies

Certain cookies are placed by third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as web traffic analysis, network optimization, security measures, or campaign performance tracking. These providers are able to access their own cookies when you browse other websites utilizing their services. We do not manage third-party cookie content; their handling of collected data is subject to their respective privacy policies and cookie disclosures.

Where a third-party cookie is not strictly necessary, it is only placed after you have consented through the cookie banner. If you would like a list of the providers currently in use, contact support and we will provide the up-to-date details.

Section 06

How to refuse or delete cookies

You are always free to change your mind.

Through our banner

Use the cookie banner or the cookie settings link on the site to accept or reject the preference, analytics and marketing categories. Rejecting a category stops new cookies of that type from being written; cookies already stored can be cleared through your browser.

Through your browser

All major browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them individually or entirely, block cookies from specific sites, block all third-party cookies, or delete everything automatically when the browser closes. You will normally find these controls under a menu named “Settings”, then “Privacy”, “Privacy and security”, “Site permissions” or “Cookies and site data”. Mobile browsers offer the same options in their settings screens, and mobile operating systems provide separate controls for advertising identifiers.

Private browsing

Using the site within a private or incognito browsing session results in cookies being removed upon closing that session window, though this does not prevent cookies from being placed while you are browsing.

Section 07

What happens if you block cookies

Disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair site functionality: you may be unable to remain logged in, fill out forms or perform authenticated operations. Disabling preference cookies prevents customizations such as language selection from being stored. Disabling analytics or advertising cookies does not impact functionality - you will simply not be included in our metrics and performance reporting.

Section 08

Updates and how to contact us

This policy is reviewed on an ongoing basis and revised when the cookies in use, their underlying technologies, or governing regulations change. The most recent version remains accessible on this page; significant modifications will be communicated through the site or cookie notification, and further site use following the update signifies your acceptance of the modified policy.

If you have a question about this policy, want details of a specific cookie or wish to exercise a data-protection right, please write to our support team through the contact page. Accompanying materials are available in the footer section across all pages, including our Data Protection Policy.
