This Cookies Policy describes how cookies and similar technologies are used on our websites and web properties (e.g., widgets and applications) that contain or link to this Cookies Policy (which are referred to in this policy collectively and individually as the “Site”). It is intended to operate with and be read together with the cookies banner and privacy preference center that link to it.

“We” (or “us” or “our”) means YR Group (for e-commerce sites) or the relevant member of our group that operates the specific Site (as indicated on the Site or in our Privacy Policy).

We may change this Cookies Policy from time to time, so please check back periodically for updates. This Cookies Policy was last revised on the date specified at the top of the policy.

WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is a small piece of information that the Site’s server transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your device so that the contents of that cookie can be retrieved and read.

Cookies do not usually record your name or specific contact details, but some cookies may assign an identifier to an individual. To the extent that cookies collect and process personal data, this is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

There are other technologies we use on the Site that work in a similar way to cookies by storing or accessing information on a user’s device, such as:

HTML5 LOCAL STORAGE: Mainly used to store and retrieve data in HTML pages from the same domain.
LOCAL SHARED OBJECTS: Commonly called “Flash cookies,” used by websites using Adobe Flash to support advertisements and videos.
DEVICE FINGERPRINTS: Identifying a unique device by combining certain attributes without necessarily knowing the IP address or setting cookies.
SCRIPTS: Lists of commands executed by programs or scripting engines to generate Web pages and automate computer processes.
TRACKING PIXELS / WEB BEACONS: Small pieces of code loaded when a user visits a website to track site visits, user behaviour, ad impressions, and other online activities.
PLUGINS: Add-ons for a program that adds functionality, like enabling video playback on the Site.

HOW WE USE COOKIES
We use a combination of strictly necessary cookies, functional cookies, targeting cookies, and performance cookies, as described in the privacy preference center.

We currently use both session and persistent cookies on our Site. Session cookies expire at the end of your browser session, while persistent cookies last longer.

We generally request cookies consent every 12 months. If you close your online shop account, we will erase all cookies data associated with your account within 2 hours. If you opt-out of marketing, we will erase all cookies data used for marketing purposes within 1 month.

3RD PARTY COOKIES AND TOOLS
