“Session cookies” are temporary bits of information which are deleted when you exit your web browser. Session cookies are typically used to improve navigation and to collect web statistics.
“Persistent cookies” are more permanent bits of information that are stored and remain on your computer until they are deleted by you. This type of cookie stores information on your computer for a number of purposes; such as saving your passwords. Persistent cookies delete themselves after a certain period of time but are renewed each time you visit the website.
If you are concerned about having cookies on your computer or device, you can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being set, allowing you to decide whether to accept it. You can also delete cookies from your computer. However, if you choose to block or delete cookies, certain features of the Services may not operate correctly.
You can choose to block cookies by activating the settings on your browser that allow you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access parts of the website. Your browser settings also allow you to delete all cookies stored on your device whenever you wish.
The UK Information Commissioner’s Office has provided the following guidance on controlling cookies:
• A number of websites provide detailed information on cookies, including AboutCookies.org and AllAboutCookies.org.
• The European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website Your Online Choices allows you to install opt-out cookies across different advertising networks. Google has developed a browser add-on to allow users to opt-out of Google Analytics across all websites which use it. This is also available in the Chrome web store.
• Some browsers include a feature known as ‘Do Not Track’ or DNT. This allows you to indicate a preference that websites should not track you. However, whilst DNT is available in many browsers, websites are not required to recognise its request, so it may not always work. You can get help on how to use DNT in Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera.
• For more information on how private browsing works as well as its limitations, visit the support pages for your browser: Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari (IOS mobile and desktop) and Opera.
If you are concerned about online tracking then we can recommend you:
• Install a privacy-friendly browser on your device, such as Mozilla Firefox, Firefox Focus or Brave;
• Install anti-tracking and ad-blocking plug-ins on that browser, such as uBlock, Ghostery or PrivacyBadger; and
• Use privacy-friendly web search engines, such as DuckDuckGo or Qwant.
• If you have any questions about the cookies or similar technologies in use on our website, please send an email to privacy@stg-sokin-staging.kinsta.cloud.
