Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Capital Contracts uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. It should be read together with the Capital Contracts Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on a device when a user visits a website. They can help websites function, remember preferences, improve performance, understand visitor behaviour and support security.
2. Scope
This policy applies to cookies and similar technologies used on the Capital Contracts website, including pixels, local storage, session storage, tags and similar tools where applicable.
3. Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function properly. They may support security, page navigation, load balancing, form submission, consent settings or basic site functionality. These cookies generally cannot be switched off through the website because the site may not work correctly without them.
Performance and analytics cookies
These cookies help Capital Contracts understand how visitors use the website, which pages are viewed, how users arrive at the site and whether website content is useful. Analytics should be configured in a privacy-conscious way where reasonably possible.
If analytics cookies are used, they should be activated only where legally appropriate and, where required, after consent.
Functionality cookies
These cookies remember choices such as language, region, display preferences or other user settings. They improve user experience but may not be strictly necessary.
Embedded content and third-party cookies
Where the website embeds content from third-party services, such as videos, maps, LinkedIn, analytics tools, fonts, forms or security services, those third parties may set cookies or similar technologies. Capital Contracts does not control all third-party cookie practices.
Marketing cookies
Capital Contracts does not currently intend to use behavioural advertising cookies unless expressly added later. If marketing cookies are introduced, this policy and the cookie consent mechanism should be updated.

- support contact forms;
- understand website performance;
- improve content and navigation;

5. Consent
Where required by law, Capital Contracts will request consent before setting non-essential cookies. Consent should be freely given, specific, informed and based on a clear positive action. Users should be able to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are essential to provide the website service requested by the user.
