What are cookies? 

Cookies are pieces of code placed into the electronic device of the User accessing the Collabwith website in order to improve each of the Users’ experience.

Whenever consent is provided by the user, the consent can be freely withdrawn with instructions provided in this cookie policy. Rejection of cookies may result in the unavailability of several of Collabwith’s services. 

There are two types of cookies, ‘first party cookies’ which have been implemented by the owner of Collabwith and then there are ‘third party cookies’. The third party cookies allow third party features to be provided through the website. These have been implemented to support the user experience, facilitating access of the website.
