For your convenience, the key points are summarised below:

• What cookies are: small text files placed on your device when you visit a website, which allow the site to recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions.
• Categories we use: strictly necessary cookies (always active), analytics cookies, and marketing cookies.
• Your choices: when you first visit our website, our consent management platform displays a banner allowing you to make choices about which cookies you accept. You can change your preferences at any time via the cookie settings link in the footer of our website.

• Third parties: certain cookies are placed by third-party service providers (such as Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Hotjar) acting on our behalf. These vendors process data subject to their own privacy policies, which we list in Section 6.
• International transfers: some of our cookie service providers are located outside the EEA, the UK or Monaco. Section 7 explains the safeguards in place.
• Your rights: in addition to controlling cookies via the banner, you also have rights under data protection law, as described in our Website Privacy Notice.

1. Scope of this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy applies to the website www.edmiston.com (the “Website”) operated by Edmiston & Company Ltd. as data controller under our Website Privacy Notice and its group entities (collectively, “Edmiston”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Website Privacy Notice, which describes how we process personal data more generally, and which explains your rights and how to contact our Data Protection Officer.

In the event of any inconsistency between this Cookie Policy and the Website Privacy Notice in relation to cookies, this Cookie Policy prevails.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the owners of the site.

In this Cookie Policy, the term “cookies” also covers similar technologies that store or read information on your device, such as local storage objects, pixels, tags and software development kits (SDKs).

Cookies may be:

• First-party cookies: placed directly by Edmiston, and only readable by us; or
• Third-party cookies: placed by service providers acting on our behalf, who may read them from their own domains.

Cookies may also be:

• Session cookies: deleted automatically when you close your browser; or
• Persistent cookies: which remain on your device for a defined period (set out in the cookie inventory in the Annex) or until you delete them.

3. Categories of cookies we use

We classify the cookies used on our Website into the following categories:

  • Legal basis: legitimate interest in ensuring the security, integrity and proper functioning of the Website (Article 6.f) GDPR), and, where required, compliance with our legal obligation to record your consent choices (Article 6.c) GDPR). No consent is required for these cookies under applicable privacy laws, as they are strictly necessary for the operation of the Website or for the provision of a service expressly requested by you.
• 3.2. Analytics Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us to understand which pages are the most and least popular, to see how visitors move around the Website, and to record session activity and heatmaps to improve user experience. We use service providers including Google Analytics, Hotjar and Smartlook for these purposes, alongside certain first-party analytics cookies set directly by Edmiston.
  • Legal basis: your consent, given via our consent banner (Article 6.a) GDPR).
• 3.3. Marketing Cookies: These cookies are used to track visitors across websites in order to display advertisements that are relevant and engaging to individual users, to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, and to support retargeting. They include cookies set by Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Facebook (Meta) and LinkedIn, as well as certain first-party attribution cookies set directly by Edmiston (such as utm parameters and campaign identifiers).
  • Legal basis: your consent, given via our consent banner (Article 6.a) GDPR).
