Collecting the Information

You submit your personal data in various forms on Yocal or on our partner sites.

Yocal uses third-party analytics providers, including, but not limited to, Google Analytics, to analyze the data collected during the visit and persistent metrics cookies to enhance the website, our services, and our advertising. The third-party provider(s) of analytics do not receive personally identifiable information through these cookies and do not combine, match, or cross-reference Yocal and our partner sites’ information with any other information.

Yocal uses web measurement and customisation technologies (such as cookies) to improve the functionality of Yocal and our partner sites. This is done by using the data to understand visitor behaviour and optimise your visit. When you visit LeadLab or our partner sites, your internet browser may download and save a “cookie” (a small file) so we can recognise your computer and browser every time you use LeadLab. These cookies fall into two categories based on the length of time they remain active:

Single-session cookies only operate while your web browser is active. When the browser is closed, the cookies are deleted.

Multi-session cookies operate longer than a single session on a browser, which allows a website to recognise a computer or user (for a defined amount of time).
