Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Four Key Asset & Block Management Limited, trading as "Four Key" ("Four Key", "we", "us" or "our"), uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with our website.

It explains what cookies are, why they may be used, the types of cookies and similar technologies that may operate on our website, and the choices available to you.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further information about how we collect, use and protect personal information.

This website is operated by:

Cookies are small text files or pieces of information which may be stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies are commonly used to enable websites to function, improve website performance, remember user preferences and provide website operators with information about how their websites are being used.

Cookies may be:

• First-party cookies — cookies placed by or on behalf of Four Key through our website; or
• Third-party cookies — cookies placed by another organisation whose technology or services are used on or integrated with our website.

Some cookies exist only for the duration of your browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser ("session cookies"), while others may remain on your device for a specified period or until deleted ("persistent cookies").

References in this policy to cookies also include, where applicable, similar technologies which store information on, or access information from, your device.

We may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:

• enabling the website and its core functions to operate;
• maintaining the security and integrity of the website;
• remembering choices or preferences;
• understanding how visitors use and navigate our website;
• measuring website performance and identifying technical issues;
• improving the functionality, content and user experience of our website; and
• supporting third-party services or functionality integrated into the website.

The cookies and technologies used may change as our website and the services supporting it develop.

5.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the operation, security or essential functionality of our website. These may include technologies necessary to enable page navigation, maintain security, manage user choices or deliver functionality requested by you.

Where a cookie or similar technology is strictly necessary for the provision of the website or a service you have requested, your consent may not be required for its use. You may be able to block these cookies through your browser settings, but doing so may cause parts of the website to stop working correctly.

5.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They may provide information such as which pages are visited, how visitors navigate through the website, whether errors occur and how the website performs.

Where these cookies require consent, they will only be used where the appropriate consent has been obtained. The information obtained may be used to understand and improve the performance and usability of the website.

5.3 Functionality Cookies

Functionality cookies allow a website to remember choices made by a visitor and may provide enhanced or more personalised functionality. For example, they may be used to remember certain preferences or settings.

Where consent is required for a functionality cookie, it will only be used where the appropriate consent has been obtained.

5.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Four Key does not currently identify marketing or advertising cookies in its published cookie policy.

If we introduce advertising, remarketing, social-media tracking or other marketing technologies that require cookies or similar technologies, we will update this policy and, where required, obtain the appropriate consent before those technologies are used.

Our website currently identifies the following third-party services which may use cookies or similar technologies in connection with the operation and delivery of the website:

Vercel

Vercel is used in connection with the hosting and operation of our website and may use technologies associated with website delivery, security and/or performance monitoring.

Cloudinary

Cloudinary is used in connection with the delivery and optimisation of media, including images and video, on our website.

Third-party technologies are subject to the practices and policies of the relevant third-party provider. The presence or use of a third-party service does not mean that Four Key controls every cookie or technology that the provider may use.

The tables below are intended to provide details of the cookies and similar technologies identified as operating on the Four Key website.

The exact cookie names, providers, purposes and durations should be verified against the website's current cookie scan and consent-management system. Four Key will update these tables where cookies or technologies are added, removed or changed.

Note: A blank entry does not mean that no cookie or similar technology is used. The tables should be populated and maintained by reference to the technologies actually operating on the website.

Where consent is required for a cookie or similar technology, we will seek your consent before that technology is activated.

You should be provided with an appropriate opportunity to accept or reject non-essential cookies and, where available, manage your preferences by category.

Strictly necessary cookies may operate without consent where their use falls within an applicable legal exception.

You may withdraw or change your consent to non-essential cookies at any time through the cookie preference controls made available on the website, where applicable.

Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing undertaken before consent was withdrawn.

Most internet browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• view cookies stored on your device;
• delete existing cookies;
• block all or certain cookies;
• block third-party cookies;
• allow cookies only from selected websites; or
• configure your browser to notify you before a cookie is stored.

Please be aware that disabling or blocking certain cookies may affect the operation of our website. Some pages, features or services may not function correctly. Your browser provider's help and support pages will provide further information about managing cookies.

Our website may contain links to external websites or incorporate content, functionality or services provided by third parties.

Those third parties may use their own cookies or similar technologies. Four Key does not control the operation of third-party websites or the cookies independently placed by third parties.

You should review the applicable cookie and privacy information provided by the relevant third party to understand how its technologies operate and how you can manage your choices.

Some cookies and similar technologies may involve the collection or processing of information that constitutes personal data.

Where personal data is processed through cookies or similar technologies, we will handle that information in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and our Privacy Policy.

The fact that information collected through a particular technology may be anonymous or aggregated does not necessarily mean that the rules relating to cookies and similar technologies do not apply.

The cookies and technologies operating on our website may change from time to time, including where:

• website functionality is introduced or changed;
• our website provider or hosting arrangements change;
• third-party services are added, removed or updated;
• cookies are introduced, removed or replaced; or
• applicable legal or regulatory requirements change.

We may therefore update this Cookie Policy and the cookie tables periodically. Where a change requires consent, we will seek the appropriate consent in accordance with applicable law.

We may amend this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, the technologies we use, our business practices, or applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

The latest version will be published on our website together with the date on which it was last updated. We encourage users to review this policy periodically.
