Cookie Policy
At Fusion, we believe in being transparent about how we use the data we collect from you. This Cookie Policy (“Policy”) is designed to let you know how and when we use cookies on our websites (the “Websites”).

The Websites and other products and services provided by Fusion are described as the “Fusion Services”.
What are cookies?
We use “cookies” to assist you in customising your browsing experience. A cookie is a message in the form of a text file that is added to your computer or mobile device by a web server. Cookies are allocated specifically to you, and only a web server in the domain that assigned the cookie to you can read that cookie. Cookies are intended to promote convenience and efficiency – once placed on your hard disk or mobile device, they notify the web server when you return to a specific page, so your experience on that webpage can be personalised.
Cookies set by the website owner are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
