Cookie Policy

We gather information from users of www.bdo.com.mt automatically and when you decide to provide us with information, for example, when you register for our newsletter. This information is treated with confidence, and is only used by BDO as per the terms of the Privacy Notice. We may use "cookies" to keep, and sometimes track, information about you.

Cookies are small text files which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a web site or application. Your web browser (such as Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome) then sends these cookies back to the web site or application on each subsequent visit so that they can recognise you and remember things like personalised details or user preferences. Cookies do not damage your system. You can reset your browser so as to refuse any cookie or to alert you to when a cookie is being sent.

To improve your experience and to make our service to you better we use cookies for the purposes of system administration and analytics of our web site. This gives us information about the number of visitors to different parts of our web site.

BDO does not share this data with third parties. Our cookies do not store personal information such as your name or address, they simply enable us to see behaviour on the web site to help us improve your experience. However, if you’d prefer to restrict, block or delete cookies from this web site, or any other web site, you can use your browser to do this. Each browser is different, so check the ‘Help’ menu of your particular browser (or your mobile phone’s handset manual) to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

How to control my cookies

There are various ways that you can control and manage your cookies which are discussed in a bit more detail below. Please remember that any settings you change will not just affect this Global Portal’s cookies. These changes will apply to all web sites that you visit (unless you choose to block cookies from particular web sites).

Managing cookies in my browser

Most modern browsers will allow you to:

See what cookies you’ve got and delete them on an individual basis
Block third party cookies
Block cookies from particular web sites
Block all cookies from being set
Delete all cookies when you close your browser

You should be aware that any preferences will be lost if you delete cookies. This includes where you have opted out from cookies, as this requires an opt-out cookie to be set. Also, if you block cookies completely many web sites will not work properly and some functionality on these web sites will not work at all.
