GEMO COOKIES POLICY
This Cookies Policy aims to inform you of the use of cookies by Gemo Limited (“Gemo”, “we” or “us”) in relation to the direct-to-consumer websites of Gemo (“Websites”). This Cookies Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which is available here.
We reserve the right to amend this Cookies Policy from time to time. We will inform you of any material changes via the Websites.
We will always ask for your consent to place cookies or other similar technologies on your device, except where it is strictly necessary for us to do so in to provide you with a service that you have requested. Please indicate your preferences to our use of non-essential cookies through the cookies banner which appears on the bottom of our Websites.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that a website automatically downloads to a user’s computer or mobile device when they visit the site. They are primarily used in helping the website recognise a user that has visited the site previously (such as remembering the user’s login, language, font size and other display preferences). They may store account and password information so the user does not have to keep re-entering them whenever they come back to the website or browse from one webpage to another.
How do we use cookies and for what purposes?
Our Websites use a number of different cookies to distinguish you from other users of our Websites. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our Websites.
Please see more details about the types of cookies we use below:
- Strictly necessary cookies – These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Websites. Our Websites use cookies to allow you to navigate and use the key features on the site. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log-in for secure areas of our Websites, use a shopping cart or make use of online payment services.
- Analytical/performance cookies – These cookies allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our Websites when they are using the site. This helps us to improve the way our Websites work, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
- Functionality cookies – These cookies are used to recognise you when you return to our Websites. This enables us to personalise our content for you – for example, to remember your preferences, such as your choice of language or region.
- Targeting cookies – These cookies record your visit to this Website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our Website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
Depending on how long the cookies remain in your browser, they may also be divided into two different groups: session cookies and persistent cookies.
- Session cookies – These cookies expire at the end of your browser session (usually when you exit the browser). These cookies allow us to recognise and link your actions during a browsing session to ensure that you will not be asked for the same information you have previously given during your visit to the Websites. Cookies allow you to proceed through the Websites quickly and easily without having to authenticate or reprocess each new area you visit. We may use the cookies to analyse user behaviour, such as the pages which have been visited during the session, in order to improve your overall experience, for example enabling us to determine and display more relevant content.
- Persistent cookies – These cookies are stored on your device in-between browsing sessions. These cookies enable us to collect information such as number of visitors to the site and pages visited in order to analyse user behaviour. This information is collected in an anonymous form and may be collated with similar information received from other users to enable us to compile reports in order to develop and improve user experience by displaying more tailored and relevant content.
