Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit it. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide website operators with analytical information about how their sites are being used.

Cookies do not typically contain personal data that directly identifies you, such as your name or email address. However, personal data that we hold about you may be linked to information derived from or stored in cookies, in which case we treat that combined data as personal data subject to our Privacy Policy.

Similar tracking technologies, including web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage, may operate in a comparable way to cookies and are covered by this Cookie Policy. References to "cookies" throughout this Policy should be read to include these similar technologies unless the context makes clear otherwise.

Cookies set by the website operator (in this case, Malanta Ltd) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by third-party service providers to appear on or through the website, such as analytics tools or embedded content.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the Website to function and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take 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 Website may then not function correctly.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to deliver the services you have requested, we do not require your consent to set them. They are used solely for the following purposes:

• Storing your cookie consent preferences so that you are not presented with the consent banner on every page visit;
• Maintaining session integrity for secure communications through contact forms;
• Ensuring correct page rendering and navigation functionality.

2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and whether they receive error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this information to improve how the Website works.

We only set performance and analytics cookies with your prior consent. When you first visit the Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline these cookies. If you accept, these cookies will be set to help us understand how the Website is being used and to improve our content and navigation.

2.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. We may use functional cookies to remember your language preferences or display preferences. We set functional cookies only with your consent.

2.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies

We currently do not use marketing or targeting cookies on the Malanta Ltd Website. We do not engage in retargeted advertising or track visitors across other websites for marketing purposes. If this changes in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy accordingly and seek your consent before setting any such cookies.

3. Specific Cookies on This Site

The following table describes the specific cookies set on the Malanta Ltd Website:

Analytics cookies marked above are only set if you consent to their use. The cookie_consent cookie is set in all cases as it is strictly necessary for the consent mechanism to function correctly.

4. Your Cookie Consent

When you first visit the Malanta Ltd Website, you will see a cookie consent banner at the bottom of the page. This banner provides you with the following options:

• Accept: Clicking "Accept" means you consent to us setting both strictly necessary and analytics cookies. Your preference will be remembered for future visits.
• Decline: Clicking "Decline" means we will only set strictly necessary cookies. Analytics cookies will not be set. Your preference will be remembered for future visits.

Your consent is stored in your browser's localStorage under the key "cookie_consent". This storage mechanism means your preference is specific to the device and browser you are using. If you use a different device or browser, you will be asked for your consent again.

You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage data (see Section 6 below for instructions), which will cause the consent banner to appear again on your next visit.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:

5.1 Via Our Consent Banner

To reset your consent preferences and see the cookie consent banner again, you can clear the "cookie_consent" item from your browser's localStorage. You can do this through your browser's developer tools (typically accessed via F12 or right-click > Inspect) by navigating to the Application or Storage section and deleting the relevant localStorage entry.

5.2 Via Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. See Section 6 below for guidance on how to manage cookies in the most commonly used browsers.

5.3 Opt-Out Tools

For Google Analytics specifically, you can opt out of tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on prevents Google Analytics from collecting information about your visits to any website.

6. Browser-Level Cookie Controls

You can control and manage cookies in your browser settings. Please note that removing or blocking cookies may impact your user experience and parts of the Website may not function as intended.

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data

For more detailed information about cookie management in your specific browser, please refer to the browser's help documentation or visit allaboutcookies.org.

7. Third-Party Cookies

As described in Section 3, we may use third-party analytics services that set their own cookies. When you consent to analytics cookies on the Malanta Ltd Website, you are also consenting to the use of cookies by these third-party services, subject to their own privacy and cookie policies.

Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy. Google's cookie policy is available at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.

Malanta Ltd is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services whose cookies may be active on your device when visiting the Website.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you disable or decline cookies, your experience on the Malanta Ltd Website may be affected in the following ways:

• The cookie consent banner may appear on every page visit if the strictly necessary consent storage cookie cannot be set;
• We will be unable to collect analytics data that helps us improve the Website's content and performance;
• Some website functionality may not operate as intended if browser-level cookie blocking is enabled.

The informational content of the Website, including articles, team information, portfolio descriptions, and contact details, remains fully accessible regardless of your cookie preferences.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new cookies to the Website, change our use of existing cookies, or if changes in applicable law require us to revise our approach. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We may also display a notice on the Website to draw your attention to significant changes. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically.
