Understanding Cookies and Their Functionality

 

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) when you visit a website. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular client and website and can be accessed either by the web server or the client computer. This allows the server to deliver a page tailored to a particular user, or the page itself can contain some script which is aware of the data in the cookie and so is able to carry information from one visit to the website (or related site) to the next.

Here's a deeper dive into the different types of cookies and related technologies:

 

Session Cookies:

These are temporary cookies that are only stored on your device while you are visiting a website and are deleted when you close your browser. They are often used to remember your choices for that particular session, such as items in a shopping cart.

 

Persistent Cookies:

Unlike session cookies, persistent cookies are stored on your device even after you close your browser. They remember your preferences and actions across multiple sites and multiple visits.

 

Tracking Cookies:

These cookies collect information about your browsing habits in order to make advertising more relevant to you and your interests. They are set by third-party providers with the website operator’s permission.

 

Third-party Cookies:

These are cookies set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. They might be used for online advertising, or for sharing content on social networks and other platforms.

 

Tracking Pixels (or Web Beacons):

These are tiny, transparent images embedded in emails and websites. They are used in conjunction with cookies to understand user behaviour. When you open a website or email that contains a tracking pixel, it requests the image from the server, and the action is tracked. This can be used to monitor the number of users visiting a site or opening an email, for instance.

 

Flash Cookies (or Local Shared Objects):

These are pieces of data that websites which use Adobe Flash may store on a user's computer. They are more resilient than regular cookies and can be used to track more detailed user behaviour.

It's essential to understand that while cookies and related technologies enhance the user experience by remembering user preferences and delivering content tailored to individual interests, they also raise privacy concerns. Users should be aware of these technologies and their implications, and websites should provide clear instructions on how to manage or opt-out of such tracking.

 

Updates to the Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page, and we will notify you by updating the date at the top of this Cookie Policy. In certain circumstances, we may also notify you through additional communication channels such as email or pop-up notifications on our website. Please check back periodically to stay informed about any changes.
