14. Know your Cookies
All Cookies used by and on Our Site are used in accordance with current Cookie
Law. We may use some or all of the following types of Cookie:
ï‚· Strictly Necessary Cookies: A cookie falls into this category if it is essential
to the operation of your website. Strictly necessary cookies may, for example,
be required for functions such as logging in, storing items in a shopping
basket, or enabling payment transactions.
ï‚· Analytics Cookies: Understanding how users use your website can be
extremely valuable. Analytics cookies provide insights into many factors such
as how users are navigating around the site and what features they are using.
Analytics cookies may often be set by third parties, but not always. To add to
complications, however, even if analytics cookies are set by you, if the data
collected by them is processed by a third party, they will be treated differently
from a data protection perspective.
ï‚· Functionality Cookies: Many websites offer some level of personalisation
and functionality cookies play a key role here. For auditing purposes,
however, it is important not to confuse these with the strictly necessary variety.
If the site can be used properly without the cookie, it isn’t strictly necessary.
ï‚· Targeting Cookies: It is important to know when and how often someone
visits your website, and which parts of it they have used (including which
pages they have visited and which links they have followed). As with analytics
cookies, targeting cookies allow you to better understand your users, enabling
you to make your site and, more importantly, the advertising on it more
relevant to those users’ interests. Targeting cookies may often be set by third
parties.
ï‚· First-Party Cookies: As the name suggests, these cookies are placed
directly by your website (as opposed to those placed by third-party services,
for which see below). Most, if not all, of your strictly necessary and
functionality cookies will likely be first-party cookies.
ï‚· Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are placed by third parties providing
services such as advertising and analytics. Analytics and targeting cookies
are common types of third-party cookie as such work is often not undertaken
in-house.
ï‚· Persistent Cookies: Any of the cookies listed above may be a persistent
cookie. Persistent cookies are those which remain active on a user’s
computer or device for a predetermined period of time and are activated when
that user visits your website.
Any of the above types of Cookie may be a session Cookie. Session Cookies are
temporary and only remain on your computer or device from the point at which you
visit Our Site until you close your browser. Session Cookies are deleted when you
close your browser.
ï‚· Cookies on Our Site are not permanent and will expire after 30 days
