COOKIE POLICY

Updated September 2018



What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are used by websites to make a user’s experience more efficient. So that means when you visit our website a text containing small amounts of information will be placed on your device.

“First Party” and “Third Party” Cookies

Cookies can be set and controlled by the operator of the website which the user is browsing such as Audrey Kirk for this website (known as a ‘first party cookie’) or a third party such as Facebook, for example to display advertisements and social sharing features, (known as a ‘third party cookie’).

Broadly speaking, there are two different types of browser cookie:

(1) Session cookies are stored in the computer’s memory during a user’s browsing session and are automatically deleted from the user’s computer when the browser is closed, or the session is deemed to have ended.

These cookies usually store a session ID that is not personally identifiable to users, allowing the user to move from page to page without having to log-in repeatedly. They are widely used by commercial websites; for example, to keep track of items that a consumer has added to a shopping basket.

Session cookies do not collect any information from the user’s computer and they expire at the end of the user’s browser session. They can also become inaccessible after the session has been inactive for a specified length of time, usually 20 or 30 minutes.

(2) Persistent cookies are stored on the user’s computer and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies can be used to retain user preferences for a particular website, allowing those preferences to be used in future browsing sessions.

Persistent cookies usually assign a unique ID to the user’s browser and they are usually configured to identify a user for a prolonged period of time, from days to months or even years.

How does Audrey Kirk use cookies?

Our website uses cookies to help us improve the user experience and to analyse how our website is being used. The cookies that Audrey Kirk use do not collect personal information such as name, address, email address and do not link any information they collect to an individual.
