Cookies Policy

What is a Cookie?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device. You can find more information about cookies at: https://allaboutcookies.org

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improve the user experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

First-party cookies

First party cookies are cookies that we deploy on the website that you are currently visiting and with which you will interact when you continue your journey on our websites.

Third-party cookies

Our websites may also contain content from other websites which may deploy their own cookies. These cookies are set by someone other than the owner of the website you’re visiting. Such third-party providers can set cookies while you are visiting our website and thus receive information such as the fact that you have loaded a HEFLO website. Please visit the websites of third-party providers to obtain further information on how they use cookies. You can find information about the respective 3rd party controlling such a third-party cookie in the detailed cookie table.
