Cookie Policy of tstgroup.co.uk
This document contains information regarding the technologies that enable tstgroup.co.uk to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies allow the Owner to collect and store information (for example, through the use of Cookies) or use resources (for example, by running a script) on the User’s device when the User interacts with tstgroup.co.uk.
For simplicity, these technologies are succinctly referred to as “Tracking Tools” in this document, unless there is reason to differentiate.
For example, although Cookies can be used in both web and mobile browsers, it would be inappropriate to talk about Cookies in the context of mobile applications, since they are Tracking Tools that require the presence of a browser.

Some of the purposes for which Tracking Tools are used may, in addition, require the User’s consent. If consent is given, it can be freely revoked at any time by following the instructions in this document.
tstgroup.co.uk uses Tracking Tools operated directly by the Owner (commonly called “first-party” Tracking Tools) and Tracking Tools that enable services provided by third parties (commonly called “third-party” Tracking Tools). Unless otherwise specified within this document, such third parties have access to their respective Tracking Tools.
Duration and expiration of Cookies and other similar Tracking Tools may vary depending on what is set by the Owner or each third-party vendor. Some of them expire at the end of the User’s browsing session.
In addition to what is specified in the description of each of the categories below, Users may obtain more detailed and up-to-date information about the duration, as well as any other relevant information – such as the presence of other Tracking Tools – in the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers (via the links made available) or by contacting the Controller.
