Our Cookie Policy
This site uses the following cookies – small text files that are placed on your machine to help the site provide a better user experience.
Single Sign-On (SSO) cookie: when a user logs into the website, this identifies whether the user is authenticated and logged into the website. This is a 'session' cookie that expires after 12 hours.
Shopping basket cookie: this allows a user to store (i.e. remember) items to be purchased and their shipping address/shopping details. This is a 'session' cookie that expires after 14 days.
Google Analytics cookie: this shows web traffic analysis. These cookies have multiple expiration dates; please refer to here for more information.
Google AdWords and Google Remarketing: We use the online advertising program Google AdWords and the Google Remarketing technology, both operated by the company Google Inc. ("Google"). For measuring conversion with Google AdWords, a conversion tracking cookie is placed when a user clicks on a XYZ Company advertisement delivered by Google (“Ads”). Conversion tracking cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification.
Google uses a different cookie for each Google AdWords customer and there is no consolidation of the cookie data with other data. If you click on one of our Ads and proceed to a page equipped with a conversion tag and the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion is documented. With the help of the conversion tracking cookie we see the total number of conversions and are able to review the performance of our Ads. You can find more information about Google AdWords here.
Facebook pixel: this is a 'web beacon', in this case a pixel used on the XYZ Company website, which functions in a similar way to a cookie. It is used to build up a 'Custom Audience' based on people who visit our website, so we can target more relevant and effective Facebook advertising campaigns. Please refer to Facebook for more information.
LinkedIn Insight tag: a lightweight JavaScript snippet that drops a cookie on the web browser of a visitor whenever they visit our website. This will allow us to monitor our ads and conversions on our website. Please refer to LinkedIN for more information.
