What are Cookies?
A cookie is a simple text file containing small amounts of information which are stored on your computer or mobile when you visit a website. Cookies are sent back to the originating site on each subsequent visit or to another site that recognizes the cookie. Cookies allow a website to remember your preferences, improve the user experience and tailor the adverts you see to those that are most relevant to you.
We may use other forms of technology which serve a similar purpose to cookies and which allow us to monitor and improve our sites and apps. These could include \”web beacons\” (also known as image tags, pixel tags, GIFs or web bugs) which are small pieces of code used to collect advertising data, such as counting page views, promotion views or advertising responses. When we talk about cookies in this policy, this term also includes these similar technologies.
Cookies used on this site
We (“Bleeding Fingers”) use the following types of cookies:
- First party cookies
First party cookies are set by the Bleeding Fingers website and can only be read by our site. - Third party cookies
Third party cookies are set by an organization other than Bleeding Fingers. For example, we use a third party analytics company (Google Analytics) which will set its own cookie to perform this service. Our site may also contain content embedded from, for example, YouTube or Flickr, and these sites may set their own cookies. Bleeding Fingers does not control the dissemination of these cookies so you should check the relevant third party website for more information. - Session cookies
Session cookies are temporarily stored during a browsing session and are deleted from your device when the browser is closed. - Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies are saved on your computer for a fixed period and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are used where we need to know who you are for more than one browsing session. For example, we use this type of cookie to store your preferences so that they are remembered for the next visit. - Flash cookies
Our site uses Adobe Flash Player to deliver video content to users. Adobe utilizes its own cookies, which are not manageable through your browser settings but are used by the Flash Player for similar purposes, such as storing preferences or tracking users. Flash cookies work in a different way to web browser cookies (such as the four listed above). Rather than having individual cookies for particular jobs, a website is restricted to storing all data in one cookie. You can control how much data can be stored in that cookie but you cannot choose what type of information is allowed to be stored.
