Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or application. Your web browser (such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) then sends these cookies back to the website or application on each subsequent visit so that they can recognise you and remember things like user preferences.

This Cookie Policy sets out how Cuidiú uses any information we collect from you, or that you provide to us, when you use this website.

In order for the site to work properly we need to collect some information. Below are the details of the cookies and what they are used for, there is also information about how you can control them.

When someone visits the website we collect standard internet log information. This information is anonymous and is not combined with any other information that you may submit on the site.

Cookies broadly fall into 2 categories:

  • Session cookies
  • Persistent cookies

Session cookies are generally used for security reasons and to reallocate server resources once a visitor has left the website. These will expire automatically several hours after the last user-input or page request has been made by the visitor, and/or the visitor's web browser has been fully closed.

Persistent cookies are usually set to last a lot longer than session cookies, and are used to remember visitor preferences for their next visit, and to track page visits for analytics purposes and improving the website for future visitors.

Further information on cookies can be found at http://ec.europa.eu/ipg/basics/legal/cookies/index_en.htm
