Tinies websites and applications use cookies and similar tracking technologies. This Cookie Notice provides you with information about cookies and similar technologies we use and how to control them.
“Cookie” – a cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie, to develop a record of the user’s online activity.
“Similar Tracking Technologies” – functions usually performed by a cookie can be achieved by other means. This could include, for example, using certain characteristics to identify devices so that visits to a website can be analysed. Examples include HTML5 local storage, fingerprinting techniques and technologies like scripts, tracking pixels and plugins, and SDKs.
“Affiliate” — an affiliate is a website operator who can send traffic to our website using links from another website.
“First-Party and Third-Party Cookies” — whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the domain placing the cookie. First-Party cookies are those set by us when visited by the user at the time — the website displayed in the URL window. Third-Party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than us. If a user visits our website and another entity sets a cookie through our website, then this would be a Third-Party cookie.
“Persistent Cookies” — these cookies remain on a user’s device for the period of time specified in the cookie.
“Session Cookies” — these cookies allow us 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 they close the browser. Session cookies are created temporarily and once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
