This policy explains how we use cookies and related technologies (collectively called "Cookies") to provide our services to you through our Website and Apps.

What is a Cookie?

A Cookie is a small piece of data that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device (e.g. computer, laptop, tablet or mobile phone), to remember preferences and other information, for example previous website or page visits from that device and browser, username or login prompts, or other online behaviours.

How are they used on our Website?

We use Cookies to help us collect data about you and how you use our services – for example, we are interested in which internet browser you used to visit our Website, how long you visited and which pages you looked at.

We use industry standard Cookies and other tracking technologies (such as Google Analytics) to track your behaviour online, assist you in navigation and using intended Website functionality (e.g. retaining items in a shopping cart), analytics purposes to gather - and enable your ability to provide - feedback to improve our products and services, or to provide marketing, for example if you visit other websites within our network of marketing service providers.

What types of Cookies are on our Website and why?

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These Cookies are essential for you to browse our Website and use its intended functionality, including accessing secure areas of the Website, moving items to the shopping cart before making a purchase, helping to ensure security, and to log interactions with our Cookie banner. These Cookies cannot be opted out of.

Performance Cookies: These Cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Website. If you do not allow these Cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance using data provided by your visit.

If you disable these Cookies, the Website may lose certain non-essential aspects of its functionality.

Targeting Cookies: These Cookies may be set on websites by advertising and marketing service providers. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of users' interests and show relevant adverts on other sites. At GetTested, we employ tools and make every effort to reduce this activity; however, if you consent to these Cookies, you may experience targeted advertising.
