What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies are used to enable web pages to function more efficiently as well as providing information to the web page owner. Cookies also make it possible to distinguish users from each other, which can give the user a more positive experience of the website.
The term cookie is the most used term but “cookies” actually describe a range of technologies, such as;
- Pixel tags,
- Mobile device identifiers, and
- Web storage used in desktop software or mobile devices.
When we refer to “cookies” in this policy we mean all such technologies.
There are a few different categories of cookies, including:
Session and persistent cookies
- Session cookies – these are cookies which expire once you close your web browser, and
- Persistent cookies – these are cookies which stay on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them.
First and third party cookies
- First-party cookies – these are cookies set by the website that you are visiting at the time, either by us, or by a third party at our request,
- Third-party cookies – these are cookies that are set by a party other than that of the website you are visiting. If you visit Securitas website or use Securitas services and another party sets a cookie through that website this would be a third-party cookie.
