What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that is stored on your internet browser or on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information that can then be transferred from your computer’s hard drive to a third party. Unless you have blocked the use of cookies, Prospectory may set cookies on your computer or mobile device in accordance with the Cookie Preferences.

First-party cookies

First-party cookies are those cookies set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time (e.g. cookies placed by this website).

Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies are those cookies that are set by a domain other than that of the website being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that website, that cookie would be a third-party cookie.

Session cookies

Session cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when the user closes the browser window. Session cookies are temporary in nature. Once a user closes a browser, all session cookies are deleted.

Required cookies

These cookies enable core website functionality in providing services and allow users to navigate websites and use essential features (like secure areas and shopping baskets). Without these cookies, requested services cannot be provided. Required cookies are not intended to nor do they gather any information about users that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.

We may use these Required cookies to:

Functional cookies

Functional cookies allow us to analyze website usage and measure website performance in order to improve the user’s experience and understand users’ interests. Functional cookies collect information about how you use our websites including which pages you visit and if you experience any errors while visiting our websites.

Some of our Functional cookies are managed for us by third parties. However, we do not allow any third parties to use Functional cookies for any purpose other than those listed above. You can control whether or not these cookies are launched through the Cookie Preferences or your browser settings, but preventing them may impact some services and targeted advertising.

Advertising cookies
