1. WHAT IS A COOKIE? 

A cookie is a small text file that some Platforms or web applications store via the browser on Your computer's hard drive when You visit them. Cookies are widely used in order to make Platforms or web applications work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the Platform or web application. Some expire at the end of Your session; others will remain on Your computer for longer. When You return to Platforms or visit Platforms that use the same cookies, these cookies and therefore Your browsing device, are recognised. Cookies do lots of different and useful jobs like letting You navigate between pages efficiently, remembering Your preferences and generally improving Your browsing experience. Cookies can be used to customise areas of online content to be more relevant to You and Your interests. 

 

2. FIRST PARTY COOKIES

First-party cookies are cookies set by the specific Platform or web application You visit i.e. the location displayed in the URL window. 

 

3. THIRD PARTY COOKIES

Third party cookies are set by third party services that appear on our pages. They are set by the operators of that service and are not in our control. They are set by e.g. Twitter, Facebook and other advertisers or file sharing Platforms. They may use the information they obtain from Your use of their cookies to track Your browser across multiple Platforms; to build a profile of Your web surfing; or, to target advertisements which may be of particular interest to You.

 

4. COOKIE CATEGORIES

The type of cookies used on Platforms or web applications can be put into 1 of 4 categories, based on the International Chamber of Commerce guide to cookie categories.

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential, as they enable You to move around a Platform and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, the Rated Services You have asked for (such as access to secure areas) cannot be provided. These cannot be restricted or blocked. These cookies do not gather information about You that could be used for marketing or remembering where You have been on the internet. 

B. Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how You use a Platform, for example which pages You go to most often and if You get any error messages from certain pages. These cookies do not gather information that identifies You. All information these cookies collect is anonymous and is only used to improve how a Platform works. These cookies are not used to target You with online advertising. Without these cookies We cannot learn how the Rated Platform is performing and make relevant improvements that could better Your browsing experience. These can be restricted or blocked.

C. Functionality & Profile Cookies: These cookies allow a Platform to remember choices You make (such as Your username, language or the region You are in) and tailor the Platform to provide enhanced features and content for You. For instance, they remember Your login details and allow You to watch videos.  They also ensure the onsite marketing and experience is relevant to You. These cookies can also be used to remember changes You have made to text size, font and other parts of pages that You can customise. The information these cookies collect may be anonymous and they cannot track Your browsing activity on other Platforms. Without these cookies, a Platform cannot remember choices You have previously made or personalise Your browsing experience. These can be restricted or blocked.

D. Tracking/ Targeting Cookies: These cookies gather information about Your browsing habits. They remember that You have visited a Platform and share this information with other organisations such as advertisers. They do this in order to provide You with adverts that are more relevant to You and Your interests. Although these cookies can track Your visits to other Platforms, they do not usually know who You are. Without these cookies, online advertisements You encounter will be less relevant to You and Your interests. These can be restricted or blocked.
