Scope: This Cookie Policy ('Policy') explains how Metritax (MU) Ltd (‘Company’, 'We' or 'Us') uses Cookies and similar technologies on the Website at metritax.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
The Company is committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of users of its Website. Any information collected through cookies or similar technologies is used only for legitimate business purposes, including the operation, security and improvement of the Website and related services.
Attention: Company uses Cookies to operate the Website, remember essential choices, and measure Website performance using cookieless analytics. The Website displays a cookie notice, which the User may dismiss. The Website does not currently set analytics, marketing, or third-party Cookies. For more details, see the Cookie Policy.
1.What are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on a User's device when the Website is visited. They help Company recognise the browser or device, remember settings, and improve the overall experience.
Cookies cannot run programs, install malware, or access data stored on a User's device. They are non-executable and serve only as identifiers and preference records.
Some Cookies are deleted automatically when the browser is closed ('Session cookies'), while others remain stored for a defined period ('Persistent cookies'). Persistent cookies allow Company to remember information, such as the acknowledgement of a notice or the partner through which the User first arrived, for future visits.
Comparable technologies, such as pixels, tags, SDKs, or browser local storage, may also be used and are referred to collectively as 'Cookies' in this Policy.
2.Why Company uses Cookies
Company uses Cookies for the following purposes.
- Necessary Cookies help enable essential Website functions, such as delivering pages correctly, applying jurisdiction-appropriate behaviour, and remembering that the User has acknowledged the cookie notice. Without these Cookies, Services cannot operate properly.
- Preference Cookies allow Company to remember choices and characteristics, such as the User's country or region, so that the Website and Services can be tailored to User's needs. Such information is retained only for the current browser session.
- Analytics. Company measures how Users interact with the Website in a cookieless manner: its analytics do not set Cookies and do not store any identifier on the User's device. Measurement relies on short-lived, aggregated technical signals, allowing Company to improve usability, monitor performance, and develop new features. Should analytics Cookies be introduced in the future, this Policy will be updated and consent will be sought where required.
- Marketing Cookies (such as Cookies that track activity across websites to deliver advertisements) are not currently used by Company. A first-party Cookie is used to record the referring partner or campaign through which the User arrived at the Website, so that an introduced client can be attributed to the correct partner. It is set only when the User arrives through such a link, is not shared with advertising networks, is not used to display advertising, and does not track the User across other websites.
Where the User proceeds from the Website to trading services, Cookies may also be used by those services to:
- authenticate Users for secure access to trading platforms
- monitor suspicious activity and prevent misuse of accounts
- comply with regulatory requirements, including restrictions on access from certain jurisdictions
- tailor Services to User's trading preferences and optimise platform performance.
Company uses first-party Cookies only; no third-party Cookies are currently set by the Website. A full and updated list of Cookies currently in use, is described in this Policy, which is updated whenever the Cookies in use change.
The Company may use cookies and similar technologies to help protect user accounts, maintain website security, prevent fraud, detect unauthorised access and comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
3.First-party and third-party Cookies
First-party Cookies are placed directly by Company and can only be read by Company.
The Website does not currently set third-party Cookies. Third-party Cookies would only be set if Company engages service providers, analytics platforms, or advertising networks whose services require them. Such third parties are responsible for their own Cookie practices, which are subject to their respective privacy policies.
If third-party cookies are introduced in the future, the Company will update this Policy accordingly and, where required, inform users and obtain any necessary consent before such cookies are activated.
4.Managing Cookies
Users can control how Cookies are used.
- Cookie notice. The Website displays a cookie notice describing the technologies in use, which the User may dismiss. Because the Website does not currently set non-essential Cookies, no accept/decline choice is presented. Should non-essential Cookies be introduced, Company will provide a consent tool allowing Users to accept or decline them where required by Relevant Legislation.
- Browser settings. Most browsers allow blocking or deleting Cookies. Guidance is available in the browser's help section.
- Device settings. On mobile devices, advertising identifiers may be managed in system preferences.
Disabling certain Cookies may reduce functionality or prevent parts of the Website and Services from working correctly.
Users can control Cookies at any time using the browser and device controls described above. If a consent tool is introduced on the Website, Users will additionally be able to manage or withdraw their consent through it.
The Company will not deny access to its Website solely because a user chooses not to accept non-essential cookies. However, certain features or functions may not operate as intended if cookies are disabled.
5.Updates to this Policy
This Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in technology, applicable laws, or Company practices. Updated versions will be published on the Website with the 'Last updated' date revised accordingly.
Where material changes are made to the way cookies are used, the Company may provide a notice on the Website to inform users of the changes and, where applicable, seek any permissions required by law.
6.Protection of Personal Information
The Company handles any personal information collected through cookies in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. Information collected through cookies will not be sold to third parties and will only be used for legitimate business, operational, security or regulatory purposes.
