Introduction to Our Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how CIBERTS LTD ("CIBERTS", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our corporate website at https://ciberts.site (the "Site"). It applies to all visitors, including clients, prospective clients, partners, stakeholders, job candidates, and other users who interact with our online content and services.
The purpose of this policy is to provide you with clear, transparent information about what cookies are, which types we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes in more detail how we process personal data.
By continuing to browse or use our Site after being presented with our cookie banner, you acknowledge that your device may be used to store and access certain cookies as described in this policy, unless you have adjusted your preferences or browser settings to block some or all cookies.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide analytical information and personalised experiences.
Cookies typically contain information such as a unique identifier, the name of the website that set the cookie, and a value. Some cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies"), while others may be set by third-party services integrated into the website ("third-party cookies").
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, and tags that perform comparable functions. For simplicity, we refer to all such technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use a limited and purposeful set of cookies on the CIBERTS LTD website. These cookies fall into the following categories:
1. Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function correctly and securely. They enable core features such as page navigation, load balancing, security protections, and your ability to move around the Site and access secure areas. The Site cannot operate properly without these cookies, and they are always active when you use our services.
2. Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our Site, so we can measure performance and continuously improve the experience. These cookies may collect information about how often you visit the Site, which pages you view, how you arrived at the Site, and basic technical data about your device and browser.
We use this information in aggregated form to monitor Site usage patterns, identify popular content, diagnose issues, and guide enhancements to our navigation, layout, and content strategy. Where analytics tools are configured in a privacy-conscious manner (for example, IP address truncation or aggregated reporting), the data collected is not used to identify you personally.
3. Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make and provide more tailored features. This may include remembering your cookie preferences, recognising you when you return to the Site, maintaining your session across pages, or supporting interactive elements such as forms and content filters.
These cookies enhance convenience and ensure a smoother, more consistent experience when you browse, review our services, explore projects, or submit enquiries.
4. Preference and Consent Management Cookies
We use cookies to store and honour the choices you make in our cookie banner or consent management interfaces. These cookies record whether you have accepted, rejected, or customised certain categories of cookies so that we can apply your preferences consistently on future visits.
How We Use Cookies
CIBERTS LTD uses cookies in a measured way to support a secure, high-quality digital experience aligned with our role as an IT consultancy. Specifically, cookies on our Site may be used to:
- Maintain the technical functioning, security, and availability of the Site and its navigation structure.
- Remember your cookie and privacy preferences so you are not asked to reconfirm them each time you visit.
- Collect aggregated insights into how visitors access and use key sections of the Site, such as Services, Solutions, Projects, Clients, and Contact Us.
- Improve page performance, responsiveness, and content relevance based on anonymous or pseudonymous usage metrics.
- Support secure and reliable delivery of forms and interactions, including contact, enquiry, or partnership forms.
The data we collect through cookies generally relates to your device, browser, and interactions with our Site, such as:
- IP address (which may be truncated or anonymised, depending on configuration).
- Browser type, version, and settings.
- Device type, operating system, and basic configuration.
- Time and duration of visits, viewed pages, and referring URLs.
- Interactions with navigation, buttons, and forms.
Where cookie-derived data is considered personal data, we process it in accordance with applicable data protection laws and our Privacy Policy. We do not use cookies to make decisions that produce legal effects concerning you or significantly affect you in a similar way without appropriate safeguards.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Instructions for managing cookies can usually be found in the "Help", "Settings", or "Privacy" sections of your browser. For example:

Please note that if you block or delete certain cookies, some features of our Site may not function as intended, and your experience may be less tailored or convenient.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to cookies set directly by CIBERTS LTD, some cookies on our Site may be placed by third-party providers whose services we use to support analytics, performance monitoring, security, or embedded content.
These third-party cookies enable the relevant providers to deliver services to us, such as aggregated analytics, security and fraud prevention, or integrated media and social features. Depending on the provider and configuration, these cookies may allow the third party to recognise your device across websites.
We aim to work with reputable service providers that apply appropriate safeguards and data protection measures. However, we do not control how third parties use their cookies once they are set. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie notices of any third-party services referenced in our Privacy Policy for more detailed information on their practices.
Where required, we will ask for your consent before enabling third-party cookies that are not strictly necessary for the operation of the Site.
Retention Periods
Cookies are stored on your device for varying lengths of time, depending on whether they are session cookies or persistent cookies, and on the purposes for which they are used.
- Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain on your device only for the duration of your active browsing session. They are typically deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. They enable us to recognise your device between sessions and remember your settings or preferences.
In practice, the retention period for each cookie depends on its specific function. For example:
- Essential and security-related cookies are kept only as long as necessary to ensure the stability and protection of the Site.
- Analytics cookies may remain active for several months to allow for meaningful trend analysis and performance reporting.
- Preference and consent cookies may be retained for a period that allows us to respect your choices on subsequent visits, typically up to 12–24 months unless you clear them earlier.
You can remove cookies at any time by using your browser settings. Deleting cookies may affect how our Site functions and may require you to reapply your cookie preferences when you return.
