Can Credo Investments FZE tell me what cookies it uses?

 

Necessary cookies – these help make a website usable by enabling basic functions, such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the site. The website cannot function properly without them.

 

Cookies that track performance – Credo Investments FZE uses analytics software, such as Google Analytics. This software gathers anonymous data relating to how its site is being used and then provides aggregated visitor statistics, number of page views etc. In addition to this data, Credo Investments FZE uses its own analytics to analyze site usage more thoroughly. As a result of this information, the site is easier to use and more effective.

 

A regular feature update and redesign is undertaken by Credo Investments FZE to keep the site up-to-date and enhance the user experience for everyone. To ensure the changes are useful, variants of these changes across the site, reviewing data from the analytics system to see what works best.

 

DoubleClick cookies – Credo Investments FZE may also use cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick ad server, which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and you visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense advertisements).

Third party cookies – You may also receive cookies from third parties when visiting this site in addition to those listed above. Credo Investments FZE sometimes hires third parties to provide services on its behalf, such as the enquiry form, but in some cases they do so on its own. Because your browser connects to those third parties’, they are able to set or read their own cookies on your device and may collect information about your online activities (but not any personally identifiable data). To control cookies from these third parties, please visit their respective sites.
