What are cookies and other similar technologies?
Cookies are text files which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. They are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device (e.g. remember your account login details). The term cookie actually describes a range of technologies, including:
- pixel tags (transparent graphic images placed on a web page or in an email, which indicates that a page or email has been viewed),
- mobile device identifiers, and
- web storage used in desktop software or mobile devices.
We will use the term cookie throughout this Policy to cover all of these technologies, but we will make sure we provide you with clear details about them all so that you can make informed choices about your cookie settings.
Cookies do a lot of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your browser experience. They can also help to ensure that ads you see online are more relevant to you and your interests, but note that Boxx will never use adds on her website. There are a few different categories of cookies, including:
Session and Persistent Cookies
- Session Cookies – these are cookies which expire once you close your web browser; and
- Persistent Cookies – these are cookies which stay on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them.
First and Third Party Cookies
- First-Party Cookies – these are cookies set by the website that you are visiting at that time;
- Third-Party Cookies – these are cookies that are set by a party other than that of the website you are visiting.
