What Exactly Are Cookies?
Think of cookies as tiny digital breadcrumbs. When you visit a website, these small text files are downloaded onto your computer or phone. They quietly observe how you interact with the site, remembering things like your language preference, items in your shopping cart, or even the pages you've visited. This information allows websites to recognize you on future visits, creating a more personalized and seamless experience. Some cookies are essential for basic website functionality, while others enhance features like video playback or product recommendations.
TEG's Cookie Jar: A Breakdown
We use a variety of cookie types, each with a specific purpose. Here's a closer look:
Session Cookies: These temporary cookies are like short-term memory, remembering your actions within a single browsing session. They're essential for things like keeping items in your cart while you shop. Once you close your browser, they disappear.
Persistent Cookies: These cookies are the long-term memory of the web. They stay on your device for a set period, allowing us to remember your preferences across multiple visits. This includes things like your language choice or login details. They also help us deliver targeted advertising based on your interests.
Essential Website Cookies: These are the backbone of our websites, enabling core functionalities like secure logins, fraud prevention, and location-based content. Without them, some parts of our sites might not work properly.
Performance and Functionality Cookies: These cookies enhance your experience by enabling features like video playback, product recommendations, and personalized content. While not strictly necessary, they make your visit more enjoyable.
Analytics and Customisation Cookies: These cookies help us understand how people use our websites. We analyze this data anonymously to improve our content, design, and marketing efforts. Some cookies also allow us to personalize your experience based on your browsing behavior.
Advertising Cookies: These cookies help us show you ads that are more relevant to your interests. They prevent you from seeing the same ad repeatedly and ensure that advertisers reach the right audience.
