This Cookies Policy explains how Vedas Opportunities Fund and its related entities (“Vedas”, “we”, “us”, “our”) use cookies and similar technologies on our website (the “Site”). By continuing to browse or use the Site, or by clicking “I agree” on the cookies banner, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy, in accordance with the Mauritius Data Protection Act 2017 and other applicable data protection legislation (“DP Legislation”).
Where cookies allow us to collect or process personal data, such personal data will also be handled in line with our Data Protection and Privacy Policy and the DP Legislation.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other device when you visit a website. They enable the website to recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions, such as pages visited, time spent on the Site or language settings.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (“session cookies”). Others remain on your device for a defined period or until you remove them (“persistent cookies”).
Cookies can be set directly by the Site (“first-party cookies”) or by third parties whose services are integrated into the Site, such as analytics or content providers (“third-party cookies”).
What information do we collect through cookies?
Depending on your use of the Site and your cookie settings, cookies and similar technologies may collect information including:
- Technical data such as IP address, browser type and version, device identifiers, time zone setting, operating system and platform.
- Usage data such as the pages you visit, the time and date of your visits, clickstream data, the referring website (if any) and how you interact with page elements.
- Preference data such as your chosen language, region, investor type declarations and cookie-consent choices.
- Login-related data to help us authenticate registered users and maintain session security on sections of the Site that require credentials.
Some of this information may constitute personal data. Where that is the case, it will be processed in line with the DP Legislation and our Data Protection and Privacy Policy.
Types of cookies we use
Consistent with standard practice for asset managers and fund managers, the cookies used on the Site fall into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to operate and for you to move around it and use its features (for example, to access secure areas or submit forms). Without them, services you have requested cannot be provided. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they are used without requiring your explicit consent, although you may still block them through your browser settings; doing so may affect the functioning of the Site. - Performance and analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site by collecting information such as which pages are visited most often, how users move around the Site, and if they encounter error messages. We use this information in aggregate form to improve how our Site works, assess which content is most relevant for visitors and support internal reporting. These may include cookies set by third-party analytics providers. - Functional cookies
These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as language preferences, region, or previously selected options) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. If you disable these cookies, some parts of the Site may not function as intended or may lose personalisation. - Targeting or advertising cookies (if enabled)
Where used, these cookies record your visit to the Site, pages visited and links followed in order to deliver content or information more relevant to your interests, and to measure the effectiveness of communications or campaigns. They may be set by us or by carefully selected third parties acting on our behalf. If we use such cookies, they will only be deployed with your consent where required by the DP Legislation or other applicable law.
The specific cookies in use on the Site, including their providers and lifetimes, may change over time as we develop our services. Where required by law, further details will be made available via the cookies banner or a cookie settings tool on the Site.
Legal basis for use of cookies
Our use of cookies is based on the following legal grounds:
- Strictly necessary cookies – processed on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating a secure, functional Site and providing services you request.
- Performance, functional and targeting cookies – processed on the basis of your consent where required by the DP Legislation or other applicable laws. Where consent is not legally required, we rely on our legitimate interests in analysing, improving and promoting our services, balanced against your rights and freedoms.
You may withdraw or modify your consent at any time using your browser controls or any cookie settings tool we make available on the Site.
Third-party cookies and transfers
We may use third-party service providers (for example, analytics, security, content delivery or investor-verification tools) that set cookies on our behalf when you visit the Site. These providers may process limited personal data about you in order to deliver their services to us, and may be located outside Mauritius.
Where such transfers occur, we will take steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your information is protected in line with this Cookies Policy, our Data Protection and Privacy Policy and the DP Legislation. This may include contractual safeguards, data-transfer agreements or other mechanisms recognised under applicable law.
How to manage or delete cookies
You have several options to control or limit how cookies are used:
- Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. The method for doing so varies by browser; please consult your browser’s help function for detailed instructions.
- Cookie settings on the Site: Where available, you may use the cookie banner or settings tool on the Site to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
- Existing cookies: You can delete cookies that have already been set by clearing your browser’s cache and cookie history.
Please note that blocking some types of cookies, particularly strictly necessary cookies, may impact your experience of the Site and certain features may not function correctly.
Retention
The length of time a cookie remains on your device will depend on whether it is a session or persistent cookie and the specific purpose of the cookie. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are stored for a period defined by the provider and will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Cookies Policy and permitted by the DP Legislation.
Relationship with our Data Protection and Privacy Policy
This Cookies Policy should be read together with our Data Protection and Privacy Policy, which provides more detail on how we collect, use, disclose, transfer and store personal data, your rights under the DP Legislation, and how to exercise them. Where cookies collect personal data, that personal data will be processed in accordance with both documents.
Changes to this Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time, for example, to reflect changes to the cookies we use, to our services, or to applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Site after any changes becomes effective signifies that you acknowledge the updated Cookies Policy.
