Catalytica Ltd Cookie Policy
Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive.
Cookies can broadly split into four main categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of awebsite. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of a website, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.
- Analytical or performance cookies. These are used to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around awebsite when they are using it. These are often used to help website owners to improve the way that their website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
- Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise visitors when they return to a website. This enables website owners to personalise content for visitors, to greet visitors by name and to remember preferences (for example, a visitor’s choice of language or region).
- Targeting cookies. These cookies record visits to a website, the pages visited and the links followed by visitors. This information is often used to make a website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to the visitor’s interests.
We use a third party service called HubSpot, which helps us to manage our inbound marketing, sales, and customer services; and as part of that service HubSpot uses cookies on our website. As these are third party cookies, we have no direct control over them. You can find more information about the individual cookies used by HubSpot and the purposes for which we use them in the table below:
