This includes providing information on our use of cookies. The details below are provided to ensure you are fully aware of the cookies we use, to understand what cookies are, to understand how and why we use them and, where available, how you can reject or delete them.

2. Why do we use cookies

We use cookies on talainvest.com to enable various types of functionalities and to better understand how people use our website. This allows us to offer you the best possible experience. For example, the cookies allow us to understand how visitors use and interact with our website. Cookies are used in collaboration with our marketing partners to present you with appropriate offers and advertisements as you browse other sites on the internet, based on the products you looked at while on our site.

3. What are cookies

Cookies are pieces of computer code that allow small amounts of information to be passed from your internet browser to our web server. They enable websites to recognise your computer, mobile, tablet or other device as you browse. Cookies typically allow us to understand who has seen which pages and advertisements, to determine how frequently particular pages are visited, to determine the most popular areas of our website, and to make our website more user-friendly. For example, permanent cookies allow us to save your password so that you do not have to re-enter it every time you visit our website. The information collected through cookies (e.g. IP address, language preference) is considered personal data, even if it does not lead to your direct identification. Therefore, we will process it with special care and for non-essential cookies, only when you allow us to do so.

4. Types of cookies

Cookies can be categorised according to different criteria. One such criterion is the amount of time the cookies are being stored, which divides them into two categories:

• Session cookies: these cookies are deleted after each visit to our website. The cookie will be removed from your computer as soon as you close your internet browser.
• Persistent cookies: these cookies remember you for a set period. On your first visit to our website, you will be presented with a default view. Over time, the version of the website may change, as persistent cookies remember preference changes you have made.

Another criterion that categorises different types of cookies is the purpose for which they are being used which divides them into five categories:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: these cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems.
• Performance Cookies: these cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website.
• Functional Cookies:these cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation.
• Targeting Cookies: these cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and to show you relevant advertisements on other sites.
• Social Media Cookies: these cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks.

5. Third-party cookies and third-party sites

We have pages on the following social media platforms: X, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The provider of the social media stores cookies on your device when you visit and use their services. For information on how social media platforms use your personal data, please see the social media platform’s privacy notice.

We may be considered joint controllers with the social media platform for the data collected when you visit our page on social media (limited to the data we have access to). We get access to aggregated data relating to visits and activities on our pages. We use this for statistics and analytics, such as recording numbers of likes, clicks and comments. We do not store such data, but we have access to it as long as we maintain our page on the social media platform. You can delete your data at any time, e.g. by deleting content or reactions you have published. Your data is not automatically deleted if you stop following our page.

6. Your acceptance of cookies and how you may reject them

When you first access talainvest.com, you will be asked to select the cookies you want to be used on our site. The Strictly Necessary Cookies are set by default and cannot be switched off. However, the other types of cookies are only enabled if you have expressly consented to them (opt-in consent).

If you wish, most browsers support adjusting your cookie settings so that your computer does not accept any cookies (turn off or disallow cookies). By doing this, you will still be able to browse our website, but some core functionalities may not work as intended.

Cookies can also be deleted using your web browser settings. However, once you re-visit our website you will be offered the option to accept them again, and, if agreed, the cookies could be re-applied.
