1. What are Cookies?
Cookies and flash cookies are small files that are saved on your data carrier which store specific information about your preferred settings and any other data that our system needs when interacting with your browser (“Cookies”).
There are two different kinds of Cookies: session Cookies, which are deleted the moment you quit your browser; and temporary/permanent Cookies, which are stored on your data carrier for a longer period of time or, in some cases, permanently, unless you or your browser deletes them. These temporary/permanent Cookies have a lifespan of around one month to two years, after which they will be automatically deleted. These Cookies allow us to collect and analyse data to come up with strategies to improve our Website.
2. How we use Cookies
Depending on how you are accessing our services and subject to your opt-out preferences, we may use Cookies or similar technologies to record log data. When we use Cookies, we may use session Cookies or temporary/permanent Cookies. For example, we may use Cookies to keep you logged into the Website. Some of the Cookies we use are associated with your Viewing Hub account (including Personal Information about you, such as the email address you gave us), and other Cookies are not.
Cookies are used purely for the purpose of statistical analysis of traffic flows for the improvement of our Website and are never stored in a form in which individual users can be identified. Therefore, they are not used to collect or store Personal Information about you. Our Cookies cannot be traced back to an individual user. Once a Cookie is activated, it is given an ID number, which is solely used for internal reference and cannot be used to identify the user or access any Personal Information, such as your name or IP address.
You may also refrain from providing or may withdraw your consent for Cookies via your browser settings and via limited opt-out functions within Viewing Hub. Your browser’s help function should contain instructions on how to set your computer to accept all Cookies, to notify you when a Cookie is issued, or to not receive Cookies at any time. Please keep in mind that Cookies are required to authenticate Viewing Hub Users as well as perform some actions within Viewing Hub, so in order to use the Website, Cookies are often required. Please note that by deleting our Cookies or disabling future Cookies you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our Website.
If you want to delete any Cookies that are already on your computer, please refer to the help and support area on your internet browser for instructions on how to locate the file or directory that stores Cookies.
