2 What Cookies Are
Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on or accessed from your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits and identifiers. They can support core functions, remember choices, measure use, enable media and assist advertising.
3 Who Sets Cookies
First party cookies are set by Symposia Founders or by technology operating on its behalf through the website domain. Third party cookies are set by an external provider, such as an analytics, video, social media, booking, payment or advertising provider.
4 Cookie Categories
| Category | Purpose | Consent position |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, network management, form operation, consent choices, login, booking, checkout and other requested functions | Normally no consent required |
| Preferences | Remember language, display, form or other choices that are not essential | Consent where required |
| Analytics | Measure visits, traffic sources, page use and performance so the website can be improved | Consent |
| Embedded media | Enable video, audio, maps or other content supplied by an external platform | Consent unless the technology is strictly necessary for a requested service |
| Advertising | Measure campaigns, limit advertisements, build audiences or personalise advertising | Consent |
5 Current Cookies and Providers
The technologies in use may change as the website develops. The cookie settings panel or consent tool should provide the current name, provider, purpose, category and duration of active cookies. This dynamic list forms part of this policy.
Possible providers may include website hosting and form technology, analytics services, video or media platforms, social networks, booking services and payment processors. A provider will not necessarily set an optional cookie merely because its service is mentioned or linked.
6 Consent
Strictly necessary cookies may operate without consent where they are required to provide a service you requested or to secure the website. Optional cookies will not be placed or accessed until you have made the relevant choice, unless another lawful exemption applies.
The cookie banner should provide Accept, Reject and Manage Preferences controls at the same time. Accept and Reject should have equivalent prominence and visibility. Optional choices must not be selected in advance. Closing the banner, remaining inactive or continuing to browse will not be treated as consent.
7 Managing and Withdrawing Consent
You can accept or reject optional cookie categories through the cookie banner. You can later change or withdraw your choice through the permanent Cookie Settings control on the website. Withdrawing consent will not affect processing that lawfully occurred before withdrawal.
Your choice may be stored so that the website remembers it. Consent should be renewed at appropriate intervals and ordinarily no later than 24 months, or sooner where purposes or providers materially change.
8 Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block and delete cookies. Browser controls vary by provider and device. Blocking all cookies may affect forms, security, login, payment, booking, video playback and saved preferences.
9 Embedded Content and External Platforms
Pages may include content or functions from external platforms. These providers may collect information when content loads or when you interact with it. Where appropriate, the content will remain blocked until the relevant consent is given. External providers apply their own privacy and cookie terms.
10 Payments and Essential Technology
A payment provider may use essential technologies to process transactions, prevent fraud, secure checkout, verify activity and remember transaction state. These technologies may be necessary to provide the payment service you request.
11 Changes to This Cookie Policy
This policy may be updated when technology, providers, purposes or legal requirements change. The effective date will be revised and the consent tool should be rescanned and updated before or when new cookies are introduced.
