Welcome to IMMIGRANT INVEST’ ‘Cookie Policy’ (or the “policy”).
We, the company IMMIGRANT INVEST, believe that we are transparent with respect to how we process the data. This policy is designed to inform you about our usage of cookies, local storages and similar technologies. This Cookie Policy is part of our Privacy Policy, which also contains additional information.
IMIN Malta Limited (”We ”, “Us”, “Our”, “IMMIGRANT INVEST”) (with company registration number C 76982) may collect two types of information about you resulting from your use of its website https://imin-malta.com/ and/or any sub website and/or associated domains (and/or sub-domains) of https://imin-malta.com/ (hereafter referred to as the “website” or the “site”), as follows:
- personal information, including your name and surname; and
- aggregate information which is generated from the practices that We have in place regarding the ‘cookies’ and Internet Protocol Address (“IP address”) of the users of the website.
By continuing to view or use our websites, you agree that we may store and access cookies and other tracking technologies described in this Cookie Policy.
Please read the following carefully to understand how and why the site uses your IP address and cookies. If you do not accept or agree to the practices described in this Policy, you must exit the site immediately.
IP address
1. What happens when you visit the site
Every time you connect to the internet or, if you use an always-on connection, such as broadband or ADSL, when you boot up or restart your computer, you are automatically assigned a unique identifying number known as an IP Address. This IP Address, which contains information regarding the location of your computer on the internet (your country of origin) and the name of your internet service provider (“ISP”), is automatically logged by the site.
2. What is an IP address?
When you first started your internet session (i.e. your computer connected to the internet), your computer was automatically assigned a unique number (normally in the region of 9 or 10 decimal numbers), known as an IP Address. This is your computer’s unique address on the internet. Without an IP Address, websites would not be able to deliver their content to you given that they would not be able to find your computer on the internet. Since each time you disconnect and reconnect to the internet a new IP Address is automatically assigned to your computer, IP Addresses are not inherently capable of identifying you as an individual (at least, by themselves and not combined with other identifiers). An IP Address does, however, contain information regarding the location of your computer on the internet (your country), and the name of your ISP.
3. How do We collect your IP address?
Each time you visit a page on the site, your computer sends out a message asking for the requested content to be delivered. This message sent by your computer also encloses your IP Address as a form of “return address”, so that Our website may find your computer in order to send it that requested content. Our web-server automatically logs all these messages.
4. What do We do with your IP address?
When We log your IP Address, the data collected is grouped up with the other logged IP Addresses in order to provide Us with the statistics on the geographic location of visitors to Our website, how long they stay on the site, which are the most viewed pages and for other statistical reasons that may be relevant for Our business.
We gather your IP address automatically and store it in log files. These files also contain information relating to your browser type, ISP, operating system, date/time stamp, clickstream data and the files viewed on site. Collecting this type of information allows Us to generate aggregate information for the purposes of developing the site, including in terms of overall user trends and activities online (such as the number of unique visitors, pages accessed and viewed most frequently or the search terms entered). It also allows Us to administer the site, diagnose any potential server problems, analyse visitor trends and statistics, and generally helps Us to provide you with a better internet experience.
IP Addresses are not stored for longer than necessary for the above stated purposes.
The site uses cookies to distinguish you from other users. They allow Us to analyse trends and administer the site, to help Us to provide you with a good experience when you browse the site and to develop and improve the site at the same time.
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that We store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. A cookie enables the website to remember users that have already visited. Without a cookie, every time you open a new web page, the server where that page is stored will treat you like a completely new visitor. Cookies allow Us to remember your custom preferences such as your language preference and allow you to complete tasks without having to re-enter your information when browsing.
Cookies typically contain the name of the website that the cookie came from, the lifetime of the cookie as well as a randomly generated unique number. Websites typically use this number to ensure that you are recognised when you visit the website again, while you move from page to page within one website and that any information you have entered is remembered.
We use different types of cookies on our homepage, including:
- Session cookies that disappear when you log out and close the browser;
- Persistent cookies that remain on your device until you or your browser removes them or until they expire;
- Primary cookies that are associated with the domain you are visiting;
- Third-party cookies that are associated with a different domain than the one you are visiting.
In addition to the cookies listed above, we can also use other standard technologies, such as web beacons, web errors, clean gif, local storage objects (such as HTML5 and Flash), and scripts. They help to ensure the functionality described in this Policy.
Web beacons are typically a minute and transparent graphic image that is placed on a website or in an email. Web beacons allow the website to record the simple actions of the user opening the page that contains the web beacon. Since web beacons are the same as any other content on a web page, you cannot opt out or refuse them, however, these can be rendered ineffective by changing your browser’s cookie settings to refuse cookies.
