As described in our Privacy Policy, for general web browsing of this website, your personal data is not revealed to us, although certain statistical information is available to us via our internet service provider as well as through the use of special tracking technologies. Such information tells us about the pages you are clicking on or the hardware you are using, but not your name, age, address, or anything we can use to identify you personally.

This Cookie Policy sets out some further detail on how and why we use these technologies on our website. The terms "Toucan", "we", "us", and "our" includes Toucan Association and our affiliates. The terms “you” and “your” includes our clients, business partners, and users of this website. By using our website, you consent to storage and access to cookies and other technologies on your device, in accordance with this Cookie Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are a feature of the web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer or device used to access a website. A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

What are the different types of cookies?

A cookie can be classified by its lifespan and the domain to which it belongs.

By lifespan, a cookie is either a:

• session cookie which is erased when the user closes the browser; or
• persistent cookie which is saved to the hard drive and remains on the user's computer/device for a pre-defined period of time.
• As for the domain to which it belongs, cookies are either:
• first-party cookies which are set by the web server of the visited page and share the same domain (i.e. set by us); or
• third-party cookies stored by a different domain to the visited page's domain.

What cookies do we use and why?

We list all the cookies we use on this website in the APPENDIX below.

We do not use cookies set by ourselves via our web developers (first-party cookies). We only have those set by others (third-party cookies).

Cookies are also sometimes classified by reference to their purpose. We use the following cookies for the following purposes:

• Analytical/performance cookies: They allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it, as well as dates and times they visit. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
• Targeting cookies: These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed, as well as time spent on our website, and the websites visited just before and just after our website. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

In general, we use cookies and other technologies (such as web server logs) on our website to enhance your experience and to collect information about how our website is used. This information is put together (‘aggregated’) and provides general and not individually specific information. None of this information is therefore associated with you as an individual and the cookie-related information is not used to identify you personally. It is therefore anonymized and ‘de-identified’. The pattern data is fully under our control and these cookies are not used for any purpose other than those described here.
