Cookie Policy

Upon your subsequent visits to the website, your browser transmits these files back to the site, enabling it to identify your session, retain your settings, or analyze page performance. Comparable tools - including local storage, session storage, and small tracking pixels - function analogously and are all encompassed by this policy under the general designation "cookies".

A cookie typically includes the website name that created it, a value (usually a random code) and an expiration date. Cookies lack the ability to access other content stored on your device and are not executable software.

Federal Investment Access Program uses cookies to keep the website secure and functional, to remember the choices you make, to understand which pages are useful, and - where you have agreed - to measure the performance of our marketing. Strictly necessary cookies are set as soon as you open the site because the site cannot work without them. All other categories are only activated after you give consent, and you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies ensure the site remains functional: they sustain your logged-in state as you browse different pages, distribute user load among multiple servers, shield form submissions from bot attacks and store your previously indicated cookie preferences. They do not create a behavioral profile about you and cannot be disabled via our notification panel, since disabling them would cause essential features like user authentication to malfunction.

Preference (functionality) cookies

These remember the settings you choose - for example the interface language, a region, a display preference or whether you have dismissed an informational notice. They make the site more convenient but are not essential; if you refuse them, the site still works and simply asks for your preferences again on each visit.

Analytics (performance) cookies

These help us count visits, see which pages are read, how long people stay and where errors occur. The reporting is aggregated: it tells us that a page is popular or slow, not who you are. We use the results to fix problems and to improve the structure of the site.

Marketing (advertising) cookies

These track that you came from a specific promotion or advertisement, prevent you from receiving identical content multiple times, and evaluate whether a promotion resulted in a registration. Advertising partners across other sites may access them. Your explicit permission is required before they are deployed.

Session cookies exist only while your browser window is open and are erased automatically when you close it. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them; on this site their lifetimes range from a few days to roughly two years, depending on the purpose. The exact expiry of an individual cookie can always be inspected in your browser’s storage settings.

We keep the record of your consent choices for a limited period so that the banner does not reappear at every visit; after that period we will ask again.

Certain cookies are implemented by third-party vendors operating in our interest, such as vendors specializing in analytics, distribution networks, security measures or promotional analysis. When you access other websites utilizing these same vendors, those vendors are able to access their own cookies. Third-party cookie content falls outside our authority; how they manage collected information is subject to their respective privacy and cookie policies.

Where a third-party cookie is not strictly necessary, it is only placed after you have consented through the cookie banner. If you would like a list of the providers currently in use, contact support and we will provide the up-to-date details.

Through our banner

Use the cookie banner or the cookie settings link on the site to accept or reject the preference, analytics and marketing categories. Rejecting a category stops new cookies of that type from being written; cookies already stored can be cleared through your browser.

Through your browser

All major browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them individually or entirely, block cookies from specific sites, block all third-party cookies, or delete everything automatically when the browser closes. You will normally find these controls under a menu named “Settings”, then “Privacy”, “Privacy and security”, “Site permissions” or “Cookies and site data”. Mobile browsers offer the same options in their settings screens, and mobile operating systems provide separate controls for advertising identifiers.

Private browsing

Opening the site in a private or incognito window means most cookies are discarded when you close that window, though this does not prevent them from being set during your visit.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site from working: you may be unable to stay signed in, submit a form or complete a secure step. Blocking preference cookies means settings such as language are not remembered. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on functionality - you will simply not be counted in our statistics and campaign measurement.

We review this policy periodically and update it when the cookies we use, the technologies behind them or the applicable rules change. The current version is always published on this page; material changes will be signalled on the site or through the cookie banner, and continued use after the update means the revised policy applies.

If you have a question about this policy, want details of a specific cookie or wish to exercise a data-protection right, please write to our support team through the contact page. The footer section on each page contains relevant materials, including our Privacy Policy.
