Cookies are a common Internet technology that assign a unique identification to your computer and store the detail on only your computer's hard drive via a facility in your web browser.
Cookies are used on this site. They are used to keep track of the information you have given us during your visits to the site. The cookie stored on your computer is simply a numeric identifier that we use to identify you as you move around the site and so you can retrieve information you have previously sent to our server.
The Astutis website uses a “session cookie” to identify your browser “session” as you move between pages on the website and perform activities.
The website cookie allows this website to recognise each subsequent request from your browser as being the same browser that made the initial request to this website.
By knowing that each subsequent request is related to the first, this website is able to track your actions as you move around the website and to provide interactive features. By analysing how this website is being used in general, we can improve the website experience for future visitors. Should you experience any problems in using this website, our website developers may be able to use this information to track down your specific “user journey” and investigate and fix any issues that might arise.
The cookie itself is a very small text file that is stored on your device (for example, your PC or your phone) by your web browser. It contains a simple text code that your browser sends back to our website each time you browse to a new page. This allows the website to look up your specific session and associate data for that session with your browser. The data itself is not stored in your cookie but on the server(s) operating the website.
Each page on our website is generated by a Content Management System (CMS). This system provides a number of interactive features where your experience may be tailored according to your past activity on the website. Such features require the “session cookie” to operate.
As our website is improved over time, similar and more advanced features may be added that also require a “session cookie” to operate.

About HubSpot
Astutis uses HubSpot (https://www.hubspot.com) for our blog and to integrate with our website to provide a better experience to our visitors. The tool is used to provide useful content to visitors in a convenient and less interruptive way and help us understand how it is used by them. The overall aim is to help visitors to determine if Astutis is the right company for them and to give Astutis enough information to maximise the chances of turning the visitor into a happy customer. HubSpot uses cookies to track website visitors and contacts. Tracking includes timestamps of first, last and current visits and session identifiers. Upon first visiting the Astutis blog or website you will be given the option to accept these cookies. If you previously accepted these cookies and wish to change your preferences you can clear your cookies in your browser, as each browser is different please refer to your browser's help section for instructions. Should you decline, you will be given the option to accept on future visits. Further details on these cookies can be found here. These cookies also help identify visitors which can bring them the following benefits on future visits such as: preventing messages being repeatedly shown to visitors that have already seen them, saving visitors' time by pre-filling in forms, preventing repeated requests to login (where required), determining/saving whether any chat widgets are open, helping Astutis de-duplicate contacts to prevent visitors being given the same information multiple times, providing visitors with a better experience by facilitating A/B testing.
HubSpot may also be used to better identify users of the Astutis website, blog, content, social media channels and communication channels that may be a good or inappropriate match to the services offered, or even spam. This is done through tracking the usage (such as visit totals and frequency for any Astutis content viewed; completion of forms/submission of data on them, interactions with Astutis on social media and communication with Astutis) of the aforementioned properties as outlined above. This data may be recorded together with any other data that has been voluntarily provided to Astutis or shared publicly by users and organisations. The identified users may then be manually reviewed to enable appropriate action to be taken, such as sharing of information that may be useful, making contact or monitoring further activity.
