Atombit Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Atombit Holding Limited (“Atombit”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit atombit.com (the “Website”).

This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use and protect personal data.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow websites to recognise your device and may be used to enable essential functionality, remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the Website and, where you have consented, support analytics and marketing activities.

We may also use similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage or other technologies that store or access information on your device. References to “cookies” in this Policy include these technologies where applicable.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for different purposes. Depending on their function, they may fall into the following categories:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the Website to operate correctly, securely and reliably. They may, for example, support security, network management or remember your privacy and cookie preferences.

These cookies cannot generally be disabled through our consent management tool where they are necessary for the provision of the Website or a service you have requested.

We use DefendDomain, a security service, to detect copies of the Website published on other domains. Its script does not set a cookie. It stores one entry in your browser’s local storage (its name begins “dd_embed”), which records the time of its last report, and sends a report to DefendDomain no more than once an hour. The report contains the domain the page was loaded from and the time. The entry remains until you clear the Website’s data in your browser.

Preferences / Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make, such as language, region or other preferences, and provide enhanced functionality.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website, for example by providing information about which pages are visited, how visitors navigate through the Website and whether they encounter errors.

We use this information to measure and improve the performance and usability of the Website.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies and similar technologies may be used to understand the effectiveness of our marketing activities, measure campaigns or provide content and advertising that may be more relevant to users.

They may also be set by third-party services that we use on the Website.

Except where a cookie or similar technology is strictly necessary or otherwise permitted without consent under applicable law, we will not place or access cookies on your device until you have provided your consent.

When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to:

Accept All non-essential cookies;
Reject All non-essential cookies; or
Customise your preferences by cookie category.

Non-essential cookies will remain disabled unless and until you provide the relevant consent.

The consent mechanism is deliberately structured this way: current ICO guidance says refusing consent should be as easy as accepting it, while the EDPB has also stated that pre-ticked opt-in boxes do not constitute valid consent.

You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time.

You can do this by clicking “Cookie settings” in the footer of the Website.

Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your consent was withdrawn.

Your updated preferences will apply to future use of non-essential cookies and similar technologies.

This functionality is important: consent must involve a positive action and users must have an effective means of controlling non-essential technologies.

5. Cookies used on this Website

The specific cookies and similar technologies currently used on the Website are listed below.

For each cookie, the information provided should include, where applicable:

This section may be generated and maintained automatically by our Consent Management Platform to reflect the cookies and technologies detected on the Website.

The ICO recommends identifying whether cookies are first- or third-party, their duration, whether they are strictly necessary, and ensuring that information about their purposes is clear and comprehensive.

6. Third-party services

Some cookies and similar technologies may be provided by third parties whose services are integrated into our Website.

Depending on the services enabled on the Website and your consent choices, these may include services relating to website analytics, embedded content, customer relationship management, social media or marketing.

Where third-party services process personal data, their processing may also be subject to their own privacy policies.

The current third-party technologies used on the Website will be identified in the cookie declaration above.

7. International data transfers

Some third-party service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure that such transfers are made in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.

Further information about how we handle international transfers of personal data is available in our Privacy Policy.

8. Browser controls

Most web browsers also allow you to manage cookies through their settings. Depending on your browser, you may be able to block or delete cookies, prevent third-party cookies or configure other privacy preferences.

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies or technologies through your browser may affect the operation or functionality of the Website.

Browser controls are separate from the consent preferences you provide through our Website.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Website, the technologies we use, applicable legislation or our privacy practices.

Where appropriate, we may ask you to renew your cookie preferences if there are material changes to the way we use cookies or similar technologies.

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