Cookie disclosure
We've designed this information page to provide our site visitors with accessible, transparent information about the cookies we use.
This information is relevant for visitors to www.pwc.com/m1/en and the areas of our site which provide you with access to our blogs, careers information and marketing content.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by the websites that you visit. They are used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide statistical information to site owners. Some cookies also enable the display of relevant advertising when you move from site to site.
Our Cookies Your Choice
We use three types of cookies on our site:
Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for our site to operate. They don’t access or store any personal data. Our website cannot function without these cookies so they are always set on.
You can manage and control cookies through your browser (a good search term is ‘managing cookies’). Your choices will include removing cookies by deleting them from your ‘browser history’ when you leave our site. If you do switch cookies off for our site it may not work as well as you would expect it to.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to measure and report on website activity such as which pages are visited most frequently and how visitors move around the site. The information collected does not directly identify any visitors individually. We drop these cookies and use Adobe to help us analyse the data.
We’ve set these cookies on but you can turn them off at any time via the cookie settings button below.
Marketing Cookies
These cookies help us provide personalised and relevant services or advertising to our site visitors, and to assess the effectiveness of our digital marketing activities. We also use these cookies to enable third party ‘plug-ins’ like social media sharing and like buttons. They also ensure that video content can be played.
The tables below provide details about the actual cookies we use of each type. We’ve included information on the duration of each cookie, its purpose and if its use involves the transfer of information to any of our third party business partners.
