1. About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains how ALLOut Security, operated by the Gate Software group, uses cookies and similar technologies on alloutsecurity.com and on Gate-operated webpages or portals that link to this Policy.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, share and protect personal data.

The Gate company responsible for the relevant website or portal is responsible for its use of cookies and similar technologies. You do not need to determine which Gate company is responsible before contacting us. Gate will ensure that your enquiry is handled by the appropriate company.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on or accessed from your device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise your browser or device and may support functions such as security, login, preferences, analytics, embedded content and campaign measurement.

We may also use similar technologies, including tags, pixels, scripts and local storage.

In this Policy, references to “cookies” include these similar technologies where appropriate.

3. How we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

operate and secure our website and portals;
enable login, authentication and session management;
remember your cookie choices;
protect website forms against spam or misuse;
understand how visitors use the website;
measure website performance;
provide embedded video content; and
understand the effectiveness of our marketing and business communications.

4. Categories of cookies

The cookies and similar technologies used on our website fall into the following categories.

4.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These technologies are required to operate or secure the website or to provide a service or function requested by you. They may support website sessions, security, authentication, spam prevention and the recording of your cookie choices.

Strictly necessary technologies are used without consent only where an applicable legal exemption applies. Blocking them through your browser may prevent parts of the website from functioning correctly.

4.2 Functional cookies

These technologies provide optional website features or remember choices you make. They may support language preferences, embedded content, chat functions, interface settings and other enhanced functionality.

Functional cookies are used only with consent unless a particular technology is genuinely necessary to provide a function expressly requested by you.

4.3 Analytics and performance cookies

These technologies help us understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are visited, how visitors move through the site, how long they remain and whether errors occur. We use this information to improve the website, its content and its performance.

Analytics and performance cookies are used only with consent.

4.4 Marketing cookies

These technologies may be used to measure marketing and campaign effectiveness, understand engagement with content, attribute website visits or conversions and support advertising or professional-networking activities.

Marketing cookies are used only with consent.

Some cookies are supplied by third-party providers. Third-party cookies are classified according to their purpose rather than being treated as a separate category.

5. Information about cookies and third-party services

The cookies and similar technologies used may change as website features and providers change.

Further information about the cookies and similar technologies currently used, including their providers, purposes and durations, is provided through our Privacy Settings or related cookie information.

The website may use Gate-operated technologies and services provided by third parties for website operation, security, language preferences, embedded content, chat functionality, analytics and marketing measurement.

Where a third-party service is enabled, the provider may receive information such as your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, feature interactions and identifiers stored in or read from your device. The provider may also process information in accordance with its own privacy information.

6. Consent and default settings

Gate does not use non-essential cookies or similar technologies unless you have provided consent.

When you first visit the website, you can:

accept non-essential cookies;
decline non-essential cookies; or
open the Privacy Settings and choose which optional services to enable.

Optional cookies and similar technologies are intended to remain disabled unless you choose to enable the relevant service through our cookie banner or Privacy Settings.

Continuing to browse the website without making a positive choice is not treated as consent.

Strictly necessary technologies may remain active where they are genuinely required for website operation, preference management, security, spam prevention or a service requested by you. This may include Google reCAPTCHA where it is used to protect a relevant website form.

7. Changing or withdrawing your choices

You may change or withdraw your choices at any time using the Privacy Settings control available on the website.

After consent is withdrawn, the relevant optional technologies will no longer be enabled through the website.

Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn. It also does not automatically delete cookies or information already stored on your device, which you may need to remove through your browser settings.

8. Recording your choices

We use a necessary preference cookie or similar consent-management record to:

remember your choices;
apply those choices on later visits;
avoid repeatedly asking for the same decision; and
demonstrate the consent choices recorded through the website.

We may ask you to confirm your choices again where:

a consent record expires;
the cookies or services used change materially;
a new purpose or provider is introduced; or
applicable legal requirements change.

9. Embedded video content

Some pages may contain videos provided through Vimeo.

Where Vimeo is disabled, an embedded video may not load or may have limited functionality.

Enabling Vimeo may allow Vimeo to place or access cookies and receive information about your device, browser and interaction with the video.

10. Cookie duration

Some cookies last only for the current browsing session and expire when you close your browser.

Other cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until they are deleted.

The duration of individual cookies may vary according to the service concerned. Further information about the duration of current cookies and similar technologies is provided through our Privacy Settings or related cookie information.

11. Managing cookies through your browser

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Browser controls operate separately from the choices recorded through our Privacy Settings.

Blocking all cookies may affect website functionality. In particular, it may prevent:

cookie preferences from being remembered;
forms protected by reCAPTCHA from working;
login or session functions from operating; or
embedded videos and other optional features from loading.

12. International processing

Some providers used on our website may process information outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area.

Where information collected through cookies constitutes personal data, international transfers are handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection law.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to:

the website;
the cookies and similar technologies used;
the services shown in our Privacy Settings;
our providers; or
applicable legal requirements.

The current version will be published with its effective or last-updated date.
