Tagging and Cookies
Each page that you view on any of our websites may contain a small piece of code, known as a tag. You may also have seen the same code described as a web beacon or web bug, or a clear gif. The tag places a very small (single pixel) image on the page.
The image is not visible, but the URL (the internet address) of the image tells us what pages are viewed on the website. We record the URL in our logs and may use this to build reports for our statistics to better understand the users and usage of our sites.
Along with this image, we send back two other pieces of information:
A cookie which identifies your computer; and
a machine-readable version of this privacy policy or link to that information.
How cookies work
A cookie is a small text file which is sent from a web server to a web browser when that browser visits the server's site. It does not contain any code that can be executed on your computer, so it cannot contain a virus or damage your computer.
The Gard Plasticases cookie contains a seemingly random, unique, text string that is generated when we see you for the first time. It can then be used like an identification card to identify you as someone that we have seen previously. It is unique to your computer and can only be read by the server that gave it to you.
Cookies are used to collect information about your use of our client's website and their use helps to ensure that the information provided to you by our client’s website is relevant to you and up to date.Cookies are an essential part of website navigation.
By using our websites you are agreeing to cookies being stored on your machine and used by your web browser unless you opt-out by refusing cookies by modifying the settings of your browser.
