This Cookie Notice explains how Idax Software (“Idax”, “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies can also store or access information on your device for related purposes.
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
– make our website work properly;
– remember your preferences;
– understand how visitors use our website;

– support embedded media.
For more information about how we handle personal data, please see our Privacy Notice.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small files of letters and numbers that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, remember preferences, and provide reporting information.
Some cookies are set by us (“first-party cookies”) and some are set by third parties whose services we use (“third-party cookies”).
2. Why we use cookies
We use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:
Strictly necessary
These are required for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They may be used for core functionality such as security, network management, form handling, session management, fraud prevention, and storing cookie preferences.
Analytics
These help us understand how visitors use our website, which pages are visited most often, how visitors move around the site, and whether users encounter errors. These technologies help us improve performance and usability.
Embedded media
These support embedded video content, such as YouTube or Vimeo videos. Depending on configuration and user interaction, these providers may use cookies or similar technologies when video content is displayed or played.
3. Legal basis for cookies
Under PECR, we provide clear information about cookies and similar technologies and obtain consent before placing or reading non-essential cookies on your device.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent where they are essential to provide the service you request or to operate the website securely.
Where cookies or similar technologies involve the processing of personal data, we also rely on an appropriate lawful basis under data protection law. For non-essential cookies and similar technologies, this will usually be consent.
4. How you can manage your choices
When you first visit our website, you will be given the option to accept or reject non-essential cookies and similar technologies.
You can also change your preferences at any time by clicking the ‘manage your cookie preferences’ link available on our website.
Most web browsers also allow you to control cookies through browser settings. Please note that disabling certain technologies may affect website functionality or prevent embedded content from working as expected.
5. Cookies and similar technologies we use
The exact technologies used on our website may change from time to time as we update the website or the services we use.

6. Embedded video content
We may embed video content from providers such as YouTube and Vimeo. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies when video content is displayed or played.
Where possible, we use privacy-focused embed settings to reduce unnecessary data collection. For example, YouTube offers a privacy-enhanced mode for embedded videos, and Vimeo offers a DNT (Do Not Track) embed parameter. Even so, embedded video content may still involve cookies or similar technologies, particularly when a visitor chooses to play the video.
Where required, we ask for consent before enabling non-essential embedded media technologies.
7. International transfers
Because we operate internationally and use service providers that may support our website from different countries, information collected through cookies and similar technologies may be processed in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, the United States, and other countries where our service providers or their sub processors operate.
Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.
8. International visitors
Our website is accessible to visitors globally. Depending on where you are located, local privacy laws may give you additional rights in relation to information collected through cookies and similar technologies. Where those laws apply to our activities, we will handle personal data in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
9. Changes to this Cookie Notice
We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time to reflect changes in law, guidance, technology, or the cookies and similar technologies we use.
Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
