This Cookie Policy explains how Elephants Don’t Forget use cookies to recognise you when you visit our website (www.elephantsdontforget.com). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the site again, the cookie allows that site to recognise your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information. Cookies provide a convenient feature to save you time or tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page.

Cookies set by us (Elephants Don’t Forget) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”.  Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., like advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites. 

Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our site to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. For example, Elephants Don’t Forget keeps track of the website pages you visit in order to determine what portion of our website is the most popular or most used. This data is used to deliver customised content and promotions based upon individualised behaviour of users which indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area. Third parties may serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

Before we place cookies on your computer, you will be presented with a message bar requesting your consent to set those cookies. By giving your consent to the placing of these cookies, you are enabling us to provide a better experience and service to you.

You can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.
