These Terms of Use do not apply to the practices of companies Kinetic Advantage does not own or control, including operators of sites to which you may link from the Kinetic Advantage website. Kinetic Advantage has created these Terms of Use to demonstrate our firm commitment to protect your privacy and to fully disclose what information we collect and how we use it.

Legitimate business purposes – This is where we have a legitimate interest, as a business, to process personal information, such where the user is a client of Kinetic Advantage or for the purpose of fraud prevention or ensuring network security. We take due care to balance our interests against your right to privacy.

We have developed this Cookies Policy in order to explain how we use cookies and similar technologies (referred to together as “cookies”) on this website and to demonstrate our firm commitment to the privacy of your personal information.

Cookies are small text files containing user IDs that are automatically placed on your computer or other device by when you visit a website. The cookies are stored by the internet browser. The browser sends the cookies back to the website on each subsequent visit, allowing the website to recognize your computer or device. This recognition enables the website provider to observe your activity on the website, deliver a personalized, responsive service and improve the website.

The first time that you visit our website, we notify you about our use of cookies through a notification banner. By continuing to use the website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this Cookies Policy. However, you can choose whether or not to continue accepting cookies at any later time.

However, we track how our site is used by both visitors and our registered customers. One way we track is by using cookies.

Using cookies enables us to recognize your computer if you or someone else using your computer returns to our site, and to keep track of the pages on our site that you or another user of your computer visit, and whether or not you or another user of your computer respond to certain banner ads or special offers. We use this information to help us present more relevant offers and information.

You can adjust your computer browser settings so that you are informed when a cookie is being placed on your browser. You can also set your browser to decline or accept all cookies.

These cookies are essential for site administration and security.
