Cookie Policy

The International Potash Institute Privacy Policy explains our policy regarding the collection, processing, and storage of information. This cookie policy specifically explains how we deploy cookies, as well as how you can control them.

 

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing us to monitor the performance of the website. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third-party cookies”).

Both websites and emails may also contain similar technologies such as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are typically small transparent images that provide us with statistics, for similar purposes as cookies. They can be used alongside cookies, but they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.

 

How IPI uses cookies

IPI uses cookies for the purpose of monitoring traffic on the website, and to record if you have accepted the cookie policy. If you accept the terms of our cookie policy, we store a cookie to remember this.

In addition, to record traffic to the site, and allow us to monitor how the site is performing, we use anonymous performance cookies. These performance cookies collect information on how users interact with our websites, including what pages are visited most, as well as other analytical data. We use these details to improve how our websites function and to understand how users interact with them.

 

Third-Party and Embedded Content

The IPI website also may makes use of different third-party applications and services to enhance the experience of website visitors. These include social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter (through the use of sharing buttons), or embedded content from video hosting platforms such as YouTube. As a result, cookies may be set by these third parties, and used by them to track your online activity. We have no direct control over the information that is collected by these cookies.

 

Controlling Cookies

Visitors may wish to restrict the use of cookies or completely prevent them from being set. Most browsers provide for ways to control cookie behaviour such as the length of time they are stored – either through built-in functionality or by utilizing third party plugins. If you disable cookies, please be aware that some of the features of our service may not function correctly.
