This is the notice regarding cookies and other technologies, such as pixels, that we use in connection with this website or other online presence administered by us, including our social media presences and applications. For information about our processing of personal data obtained in connection with your use of and interaction with this website, please see our Privacy Policy:www.atterley.com/privacy-policy

WHAT IS A COOKIE?

A cookie is a piece of data that is stored by a website within an internet browser or the hard drive of your computer when you visit our website (strictly necessary cookies only) or when you activate cookies according to your preferences (in relation to all other cookies that we use). Cookies act as a reliable device for websites to remember things that an internet browser has done in the past – this includes clicking particular buttons, log in details, or having read pages on that site previously.

Typically, a cookie contains information such as the domain from which the cookie has come from, a value which is usually a random unique number as an identifier, and the lifetime (expiry) of the cookie.

WHAT WILL A COOKIE DO FOR ME?

Like many other websites, we use cookies on our website. Cookies can be "first party", i.e. set by us, for example, to keep track of items within your shopping basket, or "third-party", i.e. placed on your device by another company, for example, Google Analytics. Third-party cookies may be placed on your device, if you activate them, by someone providing a service to us or by the organisations listed in the tables below, so that they can advertise products and services to you on our website and elsewhere on the internet.

MANAGING COOKIES ON OUR WEBSITE

Most websites store or retrieve information on your browser, mostly in the form of cookies. This information might be about you, your preferences or your device and is mostly used to make the site work as you expect it to. The information does not usually directly identify you, but it can give you a more personalised web experience. Because we respect your right to privacy, you can choose not to allow some types of cookies in our cookie settings preference centre at any time by adjusting the toggles to "Inactive" or "Active" and clicking "Save Settings". However, please be aware that if you choose not to enable cookies it may impact your experience of the site and the services we are able to offer.

You can find out how to manage cookies for your particular browser by clicking "help" on your browser's menu or for further information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to refuse them, you can visit https://ico.org.uk/your-data-matters/online/cookies/. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites, please visit Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

WHAT COOKIES DO WE USE?

We group the cookies we use on our website into the following four types:

• Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are necessary for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.
• Performance cookies. These cookies allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and traffic sources so we can see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to measure and improve the way our website works, for example, they help us to know which pages are the most and least popular. If you do not activate these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
• Functionality cookies. These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation, for example, to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region). They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not activate these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
• Targeting cookies. These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose. If you do not activate these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

WHAT ARE PIXELS AND WHICH ONES DO WE USE?

There are times when we want to reach people who use social media to market our own products and services to them. We use Cookies to help with this. For example, we place a Facebook pixel (a small piece of nearly invisible pixel-sized software) on our website if you accept/enable targeting/advertising cookies that will create a link between your visit to our website and Facebook and allow Facebook to place cookies on web browsers which helps Facebook provide you with more personalised adverts and measure and improve adverts.

When a visitor to our website, who uses Facebook, returns to Facebook, Facebook can identify them as part of a group of Atterley visitors and then serve marketing messages from us on Facebook. The data that can be obtained by Facebook from a visit to our website is limited to the URL of the pages that have been visited, together with the limited information a browser might pass on, such as its IP address.

Please note that when the Facebook pixel is placed, Facebook is able to follow your surfing behaviour across other websites which have implemented a Facebook pixel or Facebook social plug-in.

The goal of engaging this technology is to best adapt the available information to your interests and to make your online experience as rich and informative as possible.

Because the online data collected through targeting/advertising Cookies is shared with our advertising and social media partners, when you are on another website, you may be shown advertising based on your browsing patterns on the Atterley website.

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.

We will post any changes we make to this notice on this webpage.
