Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

A cookie is a simple text file containing small amounts of information which are stored on your computer or mobile when you visit a website. Cookies are sent back to the originating site on each subsequent visit or to another site that recognises the cookie. Cookies allow a website to remember your preferences, improve the user experience and tailor the adverts you see to those that are most relevant to you.

We may use other forms of technology which serve a similar purpose to cookies and which allow us to monitor and improve our sites and apps. These could include "web beacons" (also known as image tags, pixel tags, GIFs or web bugs) which are small pieces of code used to collect advertising data, such as counting page views, promotion views or advertising responses. When we talk about cookies in this policy, this term also includes these similar technologies.

Cookies used on this site:

We (“Accent UK”) use the following types of cookies:

• First party cookies
• First party cookies are set by the Accrnt UK website and can only be read by our site.
• Third party cookies
• Third party cookies are set by an organization other than Accent UK. For example, we use a third party analytics company (Google Analytics) which will set its own cookie to perform this service. Our site may also contain content embedded from, for example, YouTube or Flickr, and these sites may set their own cookies. Accent UK does not control the dissemination of these cookies so you should check the relevant third party website for more information.
• Session cookies
• Session cookies are temporarily stored during a browsing session and are deleted from your device when the browser is closed.
• Persistent cookies
• Persistent cookies are saved on your computer for a fixed period and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are used where we need to know who you are for more than one browsing session. For example, we use this type of cookie to store your preferences so that they are remembered for the next visit.
