As a business-to-business provider of Newsletters, Events and Publications, Reconnaissance utilises the ‘legitimate interests’ processing reason to lawfully process your data. Broadly speaking Legitimate Interests means that we can process your personal information if:

This means that when you provide your personal details to us, we use your information for our legitimate business interests to carry out our work providing business intelligence in the fields of security printing and anti-counterfeiting. Before doing this, though, we will also carefully consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights.

Websites and Communications

IP Address Lookup

Our company uses third parties to provide information about visitors to our websites. When you visit our websites we will record your IP address. This address will be matched against public and proprietary IP address databases to provide us with information about your visit. This information may identify the organisation to whom the IP address is registered but not individuals. In some limited cases, ie single person companies, it may be possible to identify personal data from publicly available ICANN data.

Website Cookies and Link Tracking

Cookies allow us to provide important site functionality so you don’t have to re-enter lots of information. They also allow us to remember what links and pages have been clicked or viewed during a session. If you have provided us with personal data (for example, completing a contact form), we may associate this personal data with other information. This will allow us to identify and record what is most relevant to you.

By using your browser controls, you are always in control of the cookies we store and access on your computer. More information on how to control cookies and limit personal data processing can be found at  www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/five-top-tips.

Other information that may be needed from time to time to process a request may also be collected as indicated on the website.

We use the information collected primarily to process the task for which you visited the website.

Cookie Policy

Your Internet browser has the in-built facility for storing small files – “Cookies” – that hold information which allows a website to recognise you as a user. Our websites take advantage of this facility to enhance your experience. We use a number of these cookies for analytical purposes, and these are described in detail below. By using the following websites, you consent to the use of cookies for these purposes:

taxstamptreaceabilitynews.com

We use a combination of both session and persistent cookies. Session cookies keep track of your current visit and how you navigate the site, persistent cookies enable our website to recognise you as a repeat visitor when you return. The session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies will be removed on a pre-determined expiry date, or when deleted by you.

Most web browsers allow user privacy settings to block either all cookies, or third party cookies. Blocking cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one. Please visit www.aboutcookies.org for comprehensive information on how to change your cookie settings in a wide variety of different web browsers.

Google Analytics Cookies

Google Analytics is a website monitoring tool that allows users to see volumes of website visitors, their source, and to analyse how the content of their website is viewed and navigated. This in turn allows optimisation of the content and pages across our websites and the marketing programs that drive traffic to the website. Google Analytics does not store any personal information about website visitors, but does use persistent cookies to identify repeat visitors. You may universally opt-out of all Google Analytics tracking used by all websites by visiting the following url – https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Lead Tracking Cookies

We use a tool called GatorLeads to identify the business or organisation that website visitors belong to, based on a reverse IP Lookup. GatorLeads also use cookies to process this identification, and personal information about individual users is stored. Cookies used by GatorLeads store information about your current web browsing session (pages viewed, time on site etc) and the dates and times of previous website visits.

This information is used by Reconnaissance International Ltd and Currency Publications Ltd to profile website visitors, in order to better understand the way in which our website content is viewed by different industry segments. It is also used to identify the types of organisations that might be interested in subscribing to our Newsletters and attending our events.

Email Marketing Post-Click Tracking Cookies

These cookies are used to report on the pages of our website that have been viewed by visitors who have followed links from our email marketing campaigns. This analysis helps us to understand additional content that is viewed by the contacts in our database and therefore allows us to improve and tailor future campaigns to those contact’s specific areas of interest.
