What cookies are
Cookies are compact data files that websites request your browser to save to your device.
When you return to the site, the browser sends those files back, so the site can recognise your session, remember your preferences or measure how pages are used. Similar technologies - such as local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels - work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them all under the general term “cookies”.
A cookie generally contains the name of the site that set it, a value (often a random identifier) and an expiry date. Cookies cannot read other files on your device and are not programs.
Why we use cookies
Bekker Capital uses cookies to keep the website secure and functional, to remember the choices you make, to understand which pages are useful, and - where you have agreed - to measure the performance of our marketing. Strictly necessary cookies are set as soon as you open the site because the site cannot work without them. All other categories are only activated after you give consent, and you may withdraw that consent at any time.
The categories we use
Each cookie found on this website falls into one of four categories listed below.
Strictly necessary cookies
These ensure the website functions properly: they preserve your login status across different pages, distribute server load appropriately, safeguard input fields from robot attacks and retain your previous cookie preferences. They do not construct a user profile and cannot be disabled via our notice panel, since critical features like account login depend on them.
Preference (functionality) cookies
These remember the settings you choose - for example the interface language, a region, a display preference or whether you have dismissed an informational notice. They make the site more convenient but are not essential; if you refuse them, the site still works and simply asks for your preferences again on each visit.
Analytics (performance) cookies
These help us count visits, see which pages are read, how long people stay and where errors occur. The reporting is aggregated: it tells us that a page is popular or slow, not who you are. We use the results to fix problems and to improve the structure of the site.
Marketing (advertising) cookies
These record that you arrived from a particular campaign or advertisement, help avoid showing you the same message repeatedly, and measure whether a campaign led to a sign-up. They may be read by advertising partners on other websites. They are only set with your explicit consent.
| Category | Purpose | Consent needed | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session, security, load balancing, consent record | No - required for the site to work | Session up to about 12 months |
| Preference | Language, region and display choices | Yes | Days up to about 12 months |
| Analytics | Aggregated traffic and page-performance statistics | Yes | Days up to about 24 months |
| Marketing | Campaign attribution and advertising measurement | Yes | Days up to about 24 months |
How long cookies live
Session cookies exist only while your browser window is open and are erased automatically when you close it. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them; on this site their lifetimes range from a few days to roughly two years, depending on the purpose. The exact expiry of an individual cookie can always be inspected in your browser’s storage settings.
We keep the record of your consent choices for a limited period so that the banner does not reappear at every visit; after that period we will ask again.
Third-party cookies
Certain cookies originate from third-party vendors working in our interest, such as suppliers of analytics, delivery networks, security measures or ad tracking. Such vendors are able to access their cookies when you browse other websites that employ these same vendors. We have no authority over third-party cookie contents; their handling of collected information is subject to their respective privacy and cookie policies.
If a third-party cookie is not fundamentally required, we only deploy it following your approval via the cookie notice. To request the roster of current vendors in operation, reach out to our help desk and we will share current information.
How to refuse or delete cookies
You are always free to change your mind.
Through our banner
Use the cookie banner or the cookie settings link on the site to accept or reject the preference, analytics and marketing categories. Rejecting a category stops new cookies of that type from being written; cookies already stored can be cleared through your browser.
Through your browser
Standard web browsers enable you to examine stored cookies, remove them one by one or in bulk, restrict cookies from certain domains, prohibit all external cookies, or purge all data when you exit. These settings typically appear in a menu labeled "Settings", followed by "Privacy", "Privacy and security", "Site permissions" or "Cookies and site data". Browsers on mobile devices provide matching functionality in their configuration areas, and phone systems provide independent settings for ad tracking codes.
Private browsing
Opening the site in a private or incognito window means most cookies are discarded when you close that window, though this does not prevent them from being set during your visit.
What happens if you block cookies
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site from working: you may be unable to stay signed in, submit a form or complete a secure step. Blocking preference cookies means settings such as language are not remembered. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on functionality - you will simply not be counted in our statistics and campaign measurement.
Updates and how to contact us
We evaluate this document on a regular schedule and revise it should the cookies we employ, their underlying technology or relevant legislation be modified. The current edition is consistently displayed here; significant revisions will be notified across the site or within the cookie notice, and proceeding after any modification indicates you accept the updated terms.
Should you have inquiries regarding this document, request information about a particular cookie or wish to assert a privacy-related entitlement, kindly reach out to our help desk via the contact page. Related documents are listed in the footer of every page, including our Privacy Policy.
