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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Cookies on Our Site are not permanent and will expire after 30 days For more specific details of the Cookies that We use, please refer to the table in section 13
