Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 25, 2025

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how our financial audit service ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, our financial audit service) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. These are referred to as "functionality" or "performance" cookies.

Types of Cookies We Use

The specific types of first-party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform include:

  • Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. These cookies don't collect any information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you've been on the internet. These cookies are essential for using our website and cannot be turned off.
  • Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, including which pages visitors go to most often and if they receive error messages. The information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymized, and we don't use them to identify you personally. These cookies help us improve our website and your browsing experience.
  • Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
  • Preference Cookies: These cookies allow us to remember your preferences and show you relevant content based on your previous visits and interactions with our website.

How Can You Control Cookies?

You have several options to control or limit how we and our partners use cookies:

  • Cookie Consent: You can accept cookies by clicking the "Accept" button in our cookie notification banner that appears when you first visit our site.
  • Browser Controls: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
  • Do Not Track: Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that allows you to tell websites you don't want to have your online activities tracked. These features are not yet uniform, so we are currently not set up to respond to such signals.
  • Opt-Out of Third-Party Networks: You can opt out of interest-based advertising through some of the third parties by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) websites.

Cookies and Personal Information

When cookies collect personal information, we process this information on the basis of legitimate interests, on your consent, or to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, depending on the circumstances. Our legitimate interests include operating a secure website, enhancing site functionality, and providing you with content and services that we believe will be of interest and value to you.

How Often Will We Update This Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
