Cookie Policy
Last updated: 22 July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Hamorin ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with our website at Hamorin.com. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.
By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. Where your consent is required, we will ask for it separately through our consent management interface.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device - computer, tablet, or mobile phone - when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They cannot access other files on your device or execute code independently.
1.1 First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Hamorin and are used to operate and improve our platform. Third-party cookies are set by external services that we integrate with, such as analytics providers or embedded content platforms. Third parties may have their own privacy and cookie policies governing how they use the data they collect.
1.2 Session and Persistent Cookies
Session cookies exist only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them manually. Both types may be first-party or third-party.
2. Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other technologies that function in a similar way, including:
Web beacons - small transparent images embedded in pages or emails that record whether a page was visited or an email was opened.
Pixel tags - code snippets that collect information about how you interact with a page, often used in conjunction with cookies.
Local storage - browser-based storage that holds data on your device beyond a single session without using traditional cookies.
Session storage - similar to local storage but cleared when your browser session ends.
For simplicity, this policy uses the term "cookies" to refer collectively to all of these technologies unless stated otherwise.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We group the cookies on our website into the following categories based on their purpose.
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, filling in forms, or setting privacy preferences. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided.
These cookies do not require your consent and are always active.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website - for example, which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and whether any error messages are encountered. All information collected is aggregated and anonymous. It helps us understand how our platform performs and where we can make improvements.
3.3 Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your language preference, region, or display settings. They enable us to provide a more personalised experience. Information collected by these cookies may be anonymised and cannot track your activity on other websites.
3.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners. They are used to build a profile of your interests and to show you relevant content or advertisements on our site or on other websites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
3.5 Social Media Cookies
These cookies are set by social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share content with your networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. We do not control these cookies - please refer to the respective social media provider's cookie policy for details.

5. How We Obtain Your Consent
Where applicable law requires consent before placing cookies on your device, we will present you with a clear consent notice when you first visit our website. This notice allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category.
Strictly necessary cookies are placed without consent because they are required for the website to function. All other categories are only activated if you provide consent or where another lawful basis applies.
Your consent choices are stored and respected across your sessions. You may change your preferences at any time using the cookie settings link available in our website footer.
6. Managing and Controlling Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies on our website and across the web.
6.1 Our Cookie Preference Centre
You can review and update your cookie preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings option provided on our website. Changes take effect immediately and your updated preferences are stored for future visits.
6.2 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to refuse, delete, or control cookies through their settings. The steps vary by browser - consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions. Common options include blocking all cookies, blocking third-party cookies only, or being notified before a cookie is set.
Please be aware that restricting cookies through your browser may affect the functionality of our website. Some features may not work correctly or at all if essential cookies are blocked.
6.3 Opt-Out Tools Provided by Third Parties
Some third-party providers offer their own opt-out mechanisms. For example, analytics providers may offer browser add-ons that prevent data collection. Advertising networks may participate in industry opt-out programmes. Where relevant, we recommend visiting the privacy pages of the specific third-party services you wish to opt out of.
6.4 Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to this signal. We will endeavour to honour such signals where technically feasible and where a recognised standard exists.
7. Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies we use may collect or be associated with personal data, such as a unique identifier linked to your account or your IP address. Where this is the case, our handling of that data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains the legal basis for processing, your rights as a data subject, and how to exercise those rights.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy for a complete understanding of how we collect and use information about you.
8. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or embed content from external providers. These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. We have no control over third-party cookies and are not responsible for their use. We encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
9. Retention of Cookie Data
The retention period for data collected through cookies varies depending on the type of cookie and its purpose. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for the duration specified at the time they are set, as outlined in the table in Section 4.
Where cookie data is associated with personal data held in our systems, it is retained in accordance with the retention periods described in our Privacy Policy.
10. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes to applicable law, or improvements to how we explain our practices. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Where changes are material, we may notify you through a notice on our website or by other appropriate means.
Continued use of our website after any changes to this policy constitutes your acknowledgement of those changes.
