Your Control Over Information

This Cookie Notice describes the types of cookies and similar tracking technologies we use on our services via our websites and apps, how we use them, and what your choices are for controlling cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies and similar tracking technologies, such as beacons, scripts, web beacons and tags (which together we refer to as “cookies”), are small bits of text, usually stored on a user's computer hard drive or within a browser. They enable a website to remember information about the user's visit to the website. On mobile websites and mobile applications, we use device IDs and / or Advertising IDs in a similar manner to which we use cookies.

1) Understanding Our Cookie Usage

For example, like many companies, we use Analytics, a web analytics service provided by third party analytics service, to help us monitor our site traffic. Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the site analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the site (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by them. They will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the site, compiling reports on site activity for site operators and providing other services relating to site activity and Internet usage. They may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information. Analytics will not associate your IP address with any other data held by them.

Nevertheless, performance cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous and it does not affect your privacy. It is only used to improve how a site works. We might also use these cookies to highlight our products or services which we think will be of interest to you based on your use of our sites. By using Organization’s sites you agree we may place these types of cookies on your device.

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Without these cookies services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided. As these cookies are strictly necessary, we do not need to ask for your consent to use them.
Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use a site, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. Some of these are analytics cookies, set using third-party web analytics software, which allow us to understand more about how our site is used.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the site to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, these cookies can be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other sites. By using Organization’s sites you agree we may place these types of cookies on your device.
Targeting or advertising cookies: These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the site operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a site and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation. Our Sites do not use targeting cookies. We will ask for your consent before we use targeting cookies.

2) Use of Tracking Technologies and Cookies by Third Parties

Third-Party Advertisements and Cookie Tracking: Third parties manage some of the advertisements on our site. These parties use cookies to track the frequency of ad exposure and monitor your visits to various sites where their ads are also displayed. This tracking is done anonymously and helps advertisers tailor ads more suited to your interests and control ad repetition across different sites. For example, after searching for vehicles, you might see related automotive service ads on our site. While we do not control these cookies or the data they collect, options are available for you to opt out of such tracking by online advertisers.

3) Adjusting Cookie Preferences
