Force Information Systems Ltd (“Force Information Systems”, “FIS”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on its website, https://www.force-uk.com/, and other public-facing FIS domains (the “Sites”).

This Cookies and Similar Technologies Policy (the “Cookies Policy”) explains:

  • what cookies and similar technologies are;
  • which types of cookies we use and for what purpose;
  • how you can manage your cookie preferences; and
  • how this policy interacts with our Privacy Policy.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides further information about how we process personal data and your rights.

What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies may collect information such as online identifiers (including IP addresses), browser type, device information, and information about your interactions with the website.

We also use similar technologies such as:

  • pixels or tags;
  • web beacons;
  • local storage; and
  • other technologies that perform similar functions.

For the purposes of data protection law, information collected through cookies and similar technologies may constitute personal data.

Types of cookies we use

Cookies on our Sites fall into the following categories:

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our Sites, including site security, access to secure areas, and protection against fraudulent or malicious activity. These cookies do not require consent.

2. Functional Cookies
These cookies would allow our Sites to remember choices you make (such as language preferences) and provide enhanced functionality. We do not currently place any functional cookies on our Sites.

3. Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our Sites, for example by collecting information about page visits and traffic sources, so we can improve performance and user experience. We currently use Google Analytics for this purpose. Analytics cookies are only placed with your consent, given via the cookie banner described below.

4. Marketing and Advertising Cookies
These cookies would be used to track visitors across websites in order to display relevant advertising. We do not currently place any marketing or advertising cookies on our Sites.

If we start using Functional or Marketing/Advertising cookies in future, we will update this Cookie Policy and our cookie banner before doing so.

Third-party Cookies and Service Providers

The only third-party service that places cookies on our Sites at present is Google Analytics, which we use for the analytics purpose described above. Google’s own privacy practices for this service are set out in Google’s Privacy Policy.

We do not control how third-party providers process personal data collected through their cookies.

How We Manage Cookie Consent

When you first visit our Sites, and we have not already recorded a choice from you or detected a Global Privacy Control signal (see below), we show you a cookie banner. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) are not placed unless you select Accept. If you select Decline, or take no action, analytics cookies remain blocked.

Your choice is stored for 180 days. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer of our Sites. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out using cookies before consent was withdrawn.

You may also configure your browser settings to block or delete cookies; browser controls are supplementary and do not replace the choice made via our cookie banner.

California residents – “Do Not Sell or Share”

Under California law, certain uses of cookies (particularly marketing and advertising cookies) may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not currently place any marketing or advertising cookies, and do not sell or share personal information collected via cookies.

California residents have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information at any time. This right can be exercised by declining analytics cookies via our cookie banner, using the “Manage cookie preferences” link, or via the methods described in our Privacy Policy. We do not discriminate against users for exercising their privacy rights.

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Where required by applicable law, we recognise browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), as valid requests to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. If your browser sends a GPC signal, analytics cookies are automatically blocked and the cookie banner will not ask you to make a choice.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. The “last updated” date will be shown at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically.
