Type One Sanctuary’s Cookie Policy

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site and service.

WHAT IS A COOKIE?

A ‘cookie’ is a piece of information that is stored on your computer’s hard drive, if you consent to this. It records how you move around a website so that, when you revisit that website, it can present tailored options based on the information stored about your last visit. Cookies can also be used to analyse traffic and for advertising and marketing purposes.

Cookies are used by nearly all websites and do not harm your system.

We are required to obtain your consent for all non-essential cookies used on our website. You can block cookies (including essential cookies) at any time by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block essential cookies you may not be able to access all or parts of our site.

HOW DO WE USE COOKIES?

We use cookies to track your use of our website. This enables us to understand how you use the site and track any patterns with regards to how you are using our website. This helps us to develop and improve our website as well as products and/or services in response to what you might need or want.

Cookies are either:

·      Session cookies: these are only stored on your computer during your web session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser – they usually store an anonymous session ID allowing you to browse a website without having to log in to each page but they do not collect any personal data from your computer; or

·      Persistent cookies: a persistent cookie is stored as a file on your computer and it remains there when you close your web browser. This cookie can be read by the website that created it when you visit that website again. We use persistent cookies for Google Analytics.

 

Cookies can be categorised as follows:

·      Strictly necessary cookies: These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, buy a product or service. Without these cookies, the services available to you on our website cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information from you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.

·      Analytical or performance cookies: These cookies allow us to monitor and improve the performance of our website. For example, they allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources and see which parts of the site are most frequently visited.

·      Functional cookies: These cookies enable our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features. For instance, we may be able to provide you with news or updates relevant to the services you use. They may also be used to provide services you have requested such as viewing a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymised.

·      Targeting cookies: These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests.

·      First and third party cookies: First party cookies are cookies set by our website. Third party cookies are cookies on our website that are set by a website other than our website, such as where we have adverts on our website or use Facebook pixels so that we can show you relevant content from us when you are on Facebook. We use third party cookies on our website and these are set out in the table below.

You can see a table of the current cookies being used on the site by clicking the CookieScript pop up consent tool on the website and selecting the option ‘SHOW DETAILS’.

 

This provides a detailed and current report of the individual and third-party cookies, together with their purpose and duration of data expiration.

You can alter your cookie preferences at any time by changing the settings in our cookie consent tool. Please refresh your page to ensure that the new settings have taken effect. If the cookie consent tool does not appear on our site, open our site on a new page in an incognito browser. You can also control your cookie settings through your web browser.

 

You can opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites, by going to http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
