What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device. The cookie allows the website to “remember” your actions or preferences over time.

Most internet browsers support cookies of some sort; however, users can set their browsers to decline certain types of cookies, or decline specific cookies. Further, users can delete cookies at any time.

Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies to learn how you interact with our content and to improve your experience when visiting our website. For example, some cookies remember your preferences so that you do not have to repeatedly make these choices when you visit.

Additionally, cookies allow us to serve you specific content. We may employ the learnings of your behaviour on our website to serve you with targeted advertisements on third-party website in an effort to market our products and services to you.

What types of cookies do we use?

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
We use both first-party and third-party cookies on our website. First-party cookies are cookies issued from the loophorizon.com domain that are generally used to identify preferences or render basic site functionality.

Third-party cookies belong to and are managed by other parties, such as business partners or service providers. These cookies may be required to render certain contact forms or to allow for some advertising outside of the website.

Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will then not work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set by our advertising partners and used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience un-targeted advertising.

Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to understand activity on our site so we can improve site performance. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

How are cookies used for advertising purposes?

Cookies and ad technology such as web beacons and pixels help us serve relevant ads to you more effectively. They also help us collect aggregated audit data, research, and performance reporting for advertisers. They enable us to understand and improve the delivery of ads to you, and know when certain ads have been shown to you. Since your web browser may request advertisements and web beacons directly from ad network servers, these networks can view, edit, or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.

We use aggregate data from third parties to show you relevant, interest-based advertising. You can opt out of off-site and third-party advertising by adjusting the cookie settings in your browser.

Opting out will not remove advertising from the pages you visit, but, instead, opting out will result in the ads you see not being matched to your interests.

How are third-party cookies used?
For some of the functions within our websites we use third-party suppliers, for example, when you visit a page with videos embedded from YouTube. These videos – and any other content from third-party suppliers – may contain third-party cookies. We encourage you to consult the privacy policies of these third-party vendors on their websites for information regarding their use of cookies.

How do I reject and delete cookies?
You can choose to reject or block all or specific types of cookies set by virtue of your visit to loophorizon.com using the cookie preferences on our website.

You can also change your preferences for our website and/or the websites of any third-party suppliers by changing your browser settings.

Please note that many browsers automatically accept cookies. Therefore, if you do not wish cookies to be used, you may need to actively delete or block the cookies.

If you reject the use of cookies, you will still be able to visit our websites but some of the functions may not work correctly.

You may also visit www.allaboutcookies.org for details on how to delete or reject cookies and for further information on cookies generally. By using our website without deleting or rejecting some or all cookies, you agree that we can place those cookies that you have not deleted or rejected on your device.
