Cookie policy

On this website we collect and use information as set out in our privacy policy. One of the ways we collect information is through a technology called “cookies”. J&L Plagas uses cookies for several purposes.

What is a cookie?

A “cookie” is a small piece of text stored in your browser (such as Google Chrome or Apple Safari) when you visit most websites.

What a cookie is NOT

It is not a virus, a Trojan, a worm, spam or spyware, and it does not open pop-up windows.

What information does a cookie store?

Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or bank details, photographs or personal information. The data they store is technical or statistical, or relates to personal preferences, content personalisation and similar.

The web server does not associate you as a person, but your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Chrome and then visit the same website with Firefox, you will see that the website does not realise you are the same person, because it is actually associating the information with the browser, not the person.

Cookies covered by the regulations and exempt cookies

Under the EU directive, the cookies that require the user’s informed consent are analytics, advertising and affiliate cookies. Technical cookies and those needed for the website to work or to provide services expressly requested by the user are exempt.

What types of cookies are there?

  • Technical cookies: These are the most basic and allow, among other things, the site to know whether a human or an automated application is browsing, and whether a user is anonymous or registered — basic tasks for any dynamic website to work.
  • Analytics cookies: These collect information about how you browse, the sections you use most, the products you view, the time of use, language and so on.
  • Advertising cookies: These show advertising based on your browsing, country of origin, language and so on.

What are first-party and third-party cookies?

First-party cookies are generated by the page you are visiting, and third-party cookies are generated by external services or providers such as Mailchimp, Mailrelay, Facebook, Twitter, Google AdSense, etc.
