Investor Pointe
Cookie Policy
1. About this policy
In this notice ‘we’ and ‘our’ means Investor Pointe (UK) Limited, which operates this platform. This policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on the surfaces we operate and control, namely our website and our customer support portal (provided using Zendesk), what they do, and the choices available to you. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
This policy does not cover cookies set within our clients' own instances of our platform. Where you access our platform as an investor or end user of one of our clients, that client controls its own instance, including its own privacy and cookie information; please refer to the privacy and cookie information made available to you by the relevant client.
2. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site recognise your device, remember your actions and preferences, and understand how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs) and local storage, which we refer to collectively as “cookies” in this policy. Cookies may be set by us (“first-party”) or by a third party whose service we use (“third-party”).

5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services on our site - currently Cloudflare, HubSpot, Google (Analytics), LinkedIn, Microsoft (Clarity), Zendesk and X (Twitter). These parties may use cookies to collect information about your activity across different sites and services. We do not control these cookies; please review the relevant provider’s own privacy and cookie policies for details.
6. Managing your cookies
When you first visit the Site, a cookie consent banner will appear. Non-essential cookies are not set until you actively accept them. You can accept all cookies, accept only strictly necessary cookies, or customise your preferences by category. The same approach applies on our support portal.
Your consent choices are recorded and timestamped. We retain a log of your consent for audit purposes in accordance with Article 7(1) of the GDPR.
You may change or withdraw your consent at any time by:
- Clicking “Cookie Settings” in the footer of any page on the Site.
- Adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Refer to your browser’s help function for instructions.
- Using opt-out tools provided by third parties, such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
General information about cookies and how to manage them is available at www.allaboutcookies.org.
7. Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data collected through cookies on the following legal bases under Article 6 of the UK/EU GDPR:
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — for functional, analytics, and marketing cookies, where you have given clear, informed, and freely given consent.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — for strictly necessary cookies required to operate the Site securely. Our legitimate interest is the secure and reliable delivery of our online services. This processing is proportionate and does not override your privacy rights.
8. International transfers
Some third parties we work with (including HubSpot, Google and Zendesk) may transfer and process data collected through cookies in countries outside the UK or EEA, including the United States. Where such transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, in particular the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses), or rely on a transfer to a country covered by UK adequacy regulations. For further information on the safeguards applicable to any specific transfer, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the details below.
For further information on the safeguards applicable to any specific transfer, please contact us.
9. US state privacy choices
If you are a resident of California or another US state with applicable privacy laws, you may have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information collected through cookies (including for targeted advertising) as those terms are defined under applicable state law. You can exercise these choices using the "Cookie Settings" link in our footer, or any "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link where provided. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
10. Your rights
The information collected through cookies may amount to personal data. You have rights over that data, including the rights to access, correct, erase, restrict and object to its processing. These rights, and how to exercise them, are set out in full in our Privacy Policy.
11. Right to Lodge a Complaint
You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority at any time. In the United Kingdom this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), ico.org.uk. In the European Union, it is your national data protection authority; a list is available at edpb.europa.eu. We would appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns directly before you contact a supervisory authority.
12. Changes to this notice
We may update this notice from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and where appropriate we will notify you. Please review it periodically. This notice was last updated June 2026.
