This document sets out to users “Users”) of the www.mathiques.com website (“Mathiques”, “us”, “our”, the “Website”) in respect of the use of Cookies and its sub-domains.
This Cookies Policy applies only to the actions of Mathiques and Users with respect to the Website itself and does not extend to any websites that can be accessed via it including, but not limited to, any links to social media websites.
What are Cookies?
Nearly all websites use cookies. Cookies are small pieces of information which are stored as text files on a user’s device: computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone when they visit an internet website utilising them. Cookies are not harmful to those devices. They are designed to hold minimal amounts of data specific to a user and to track their movement around a website so that the operator can tailor the website to a user’s preferences to make each visit a better experience. Website operators often allow technology partners to set cookies, to determine things such as the type of device being used, as well as third-party advertisers to tailor content for marketing purposes.
A user of a website can “opt-out” of cookies, block third party cookies or disable the acceptance of cookies in general via the settings on the internet browser they are using. As well as being useful for the user and website operator, some cookies can be essential for a website’s functionality and are utilised without a user’s consent, such as cookies that identify a user’s language preference, and those that maintain sessions between web pages. Blocking these cookies can therefore sometimes degrade the use of the website and users might even be logged out unexpectedly.
To find out more about cookies Users can use the Help menu on the web browser they are using or alternatively visit specialist information sites such as www.allaboutcookies.org.

The information that is gathered by our cookies enables us to customise the Website for Users’ specific accounts as well as tailor any advertising it might contain to a User’s own preferences with the aim of improving their experience. Cookies are also used to help Mathiques deliver its services by measuring marketing and analysing the performance of the Website.
First-party cookies
Any first-party cookies that are placed on Users’ devices directly via this Website and are used only by Mathiques which has taken steps to ensure that Users’ privacy is protected and respected at all times.

Analytic services cookies
This Website also uses analytics services which are sets of tools used to collect and analyse usage statistics thereby enabling Mathiques to better understand how Users use the Website. This, in turn, enables Mathiques to improve the Website and the services offered through it. These analytics services use cookies to gather the required information. Some of them may be placed immediately when a User decides to visit the Website, so it may not be possible to obtain a User’s prior consent.

Disabling and Deleting Cookies
A User can choose to enable or disable cookies in their internet browser. Most internet browsers also enable a user to select whether they wish to disable all cookies or only third-party cookies.
