Privacy Policy & Cookies

Last updated August 12, 2022

This Cookie Policy explains how sharedserviceslink ("Company", "we", "us", and "our") uses  cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our websites at  www.sharedserviceslink.com, ("Websites"). It explains what these technologies are and why  we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes  personal information if we combine it with other information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you  visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites  work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, sharedserviceslink) are called "first party  cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party  cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on  or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties  that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the  website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for  technical reasons in order for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential"  or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests  of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies  through our Websites for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in  more detail below.

The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Websites and the  purposes they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies served  may vary depending on the specific Online Properties you visit):

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your  cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie  Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject.  Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with  services.

The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our website. If  you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some  functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your  web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. As the means by which you can refuse  cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit  your browser's help menu for more information.

In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If  you would like to find out more information, please visit

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other,  similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels"  or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to  recognize when someone has visited our Websites or opened an e-mail including them. This  allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a  website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you  have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website,  to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In  many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so  declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?

Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or  "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services,  fraud prevention and for other site operations.

If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of  your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage  

Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain,  for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the  Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without  your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not  being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).

Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may  reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash  applications used in connection with our services or online content.

Do you serve targeted advertising?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising  through our Websites. These companies may use information about your visits to this and  other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that  you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the  effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by them using cookies or web  beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide  relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The  information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your  name, contact details or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide  these.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example,  changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please  therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and  related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated. Where can I get further information?

If you have any questions about our use of cookies or other technologies, please email us at  [email protected]
