Cookie Policy
Last Updated Date: 1 January 2026.
Idatco Limited (“we,” “us,” or “our”), a company incorporated and registered in Mauritius as a Global Business Company, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (www.idatco.co) to enhance functionality, analyze usage, and improve your experience.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the types we use, why we use them, and how you can manage them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy (/privacy-policy).
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, mobile) when you visit a website. They help the site recognize your device, remember preferences, and collect usage information.
We also use similar technologies like pixels, web beacons, or local storage, which are treated the same way as cookies in this policy.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize cookies as follows:
- Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These are required for the website to function properly (e.g., navigation, security, session management). They do not require consent under the Data Protection Act 2017.
Examples: Session cookies to keep you logged in (if applicable), security tokens.
Legal basis: Our legitimate interests in providing a working website, or performance of a contract. - Performance / Analytics Cookies
These collect anonymous data on how visitors use the site (e.g., pages visited, time spent, bounce rates) to improve performance and user experience.
Examples: Google Analytics (if used) to track aggregated usage.
Legal basis: Consent (we ask for your permission before placing them) or our legitimate interests (where minimal privacy impact and anonymized). - Functionality Cookies
These remember choices you make (e.g., language, region) to provide a more personalized experience.
Legal basis: Consent or legitimate interests. - Targeting / Advertising Cookies
These track browsing behavior to deliver relevant ads (often third-party). We do not currently use these on our site. If we add them in the future, we will update this policy and seek your explicit consent.
Legal basis: Consent only.
We do not use cookies for profiling or automated decisions with legal effects.
Third-party cookies may be set by providers like Google (analytics) or embedded content. Their privacy practices are governed by their policies (e.g., Google Privacy Policy).
3. How We Obtain Consent
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner appears allowing you to:
- Accept all cookies.
- Customize preferences (e.g., accept analytics but reject others).
- Reject non-essential cookies.
Your choice is stored via a consent cookie. You can withdraw or change consent at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in our footer (or clearing browser cookies). Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.
Consent is freely given, specific, informed, and based on clear affirmative action. We do not use pre-ticked boxes or dark patterns.
5. Managing and Disabling Cookies
You can manage cookies via:
- Our cookie banner / settings tool.
- Your browser settings (e.g., block cookies, incognito mode). Note: Blocking essential cookies may break site functionality.
- Third-party opt-out tools (e.g., Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on).
Disabling cookies may limit some features.
6. International Transfers and Security
Cookie data (especially analytics) may be transferred outside Mauritius (e.g., to Google servers in the US or elsewhere). Transfers are safeguarded under the DPA 2017 (e.g., adequacy or appropriate mechanisms). We apply appropriate security measures to protect data.
7. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in cookies, technology, or law. Check the “Last Updated” date. Significant changes will be notified via the banner or site notice.
