2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember preferences, improve security, and provide information about how the site is used.
Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, and SDK-based tracking tools. For simplicity, this policy refers to these technologies collectively as cookies unless stated otherwise.
3. Why We Use Cookies
RegulaTrust uses cookies for the following purposes:
- to ensure the website functions properly
- to maintain security and help prevent misuse
- to remember user preferences where applicable
- to understand website usage and performance
- to improve website design, content, and user experience
We do not use cookies as an excuse to quietly build a surveillance theme park.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
4.1 STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES
These cookies are required for the website to operate properly. They may be used for:
- security
- network management
- session handling
- load balancing
- form submission integrity
- authentication where relevant
Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of the website, they do not usually require consent under applicable law.
4.2 ANALYTICS COOKIES
We use analytics technologies to understand how visitors interact with the website, such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on pages, and how users move through the site.
This helps us improve website performance, content, navigation, and overall user experience.
RegulaTrust currently uses:
- Google Analytics 4, provided by Google LLC / Google Ireland Limited
- PostHog
Analytics cookies are treated as non-essential cookies and, where required by law, will only be placed after you provide consent.
4.3 FUNCTIONAL COOKIES
We may use functional cookies to remember user choices and improve website usability.
These may include remembering preferences such as form progress, interface settings, or similar convenience features.
If any functional cookies are strictly necessary, they will be treated as non-essential and used only where appropriate consent has been obtained.
4.4 MARKETING OR ADVERTISING COOKIES
RegulaTrust does not currently use marketing or advertising cookies.
If this changes in the future, this Cookie Policy and the consent mechanism will be updated before such cookies are deployed.
5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
Where cookies are strictly necessary for the operation or security of the website, we rely on our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional service.
Where cookies are non-essential, including analytics cookies, we rely on consent where required by applicable law.
You may withdraw or adjust your cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie settings link in the website footer, or through your browser settings. Withdrawing consent stops analytics from loading and removes the analytics cookies we set.
6. Cookies Set by Third Parties
Some cookies may be set by third-party providers whose services are used on the RegulaTrust website.
This currently includes services such as:
- Google Analytics (Google) for analytics
- PostHog for analytics
- infrastructure and hosting providers where technically necessary for website delivery or security
Third-party providers may process information collected through cookies in accordance with their own privacy documentation.
Where required, RegulaTrust seeks to ensure that such cookies are only deployed after valid consent has been obtained.
7. International Data Transfers
Data collected through cookies or similar technologies may be processed in the European Union and, in some cases, the United States, depending on the service provider involved.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, RegulaTrust implements appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) where required.
8. How to Manage Cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- by using the cookie banner, or the Cookie settings link in the website footer
- by adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies
- by using browser controls to prevent certain types of tracking
Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect website functionality.
Browser settings are usually available in the privacy or security section of your browser.
