Cookies Policy
a. What is a cookie? A cookie is a small amount of data, which
often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile phone
(referred to here as a "device") browser from a website's computer and is stored
on your device's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your
browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy)
your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to
you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Many sites do this whenever a
user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows. Cookies record
information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor the websites to
your interests. Users have the opportunity to set their devices to accept all
cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at
any time. The last of these means that certain personalised services cannot then
be provided to that user and accordingly you may not be able to take full
advantage of all of the glassjargifts.co.uk features. Each browser is different,
so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie
preferences. During the course of any visit to glassjargifts.co.uk, the pages you
see, along with a cookie, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this,
because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out
whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This
is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there
on the last visit.
b. How does glassjargifts.co.uk use cookies? Information
supplied by cookies can help us to analyse the profile of our visitors and help
us to provide you with a better user experience. For example: if on a previous
visit you went to our security pages, we might find this out from your cookie
and highlight security information on your second and subsequent visits.
