UK law requires us to ask for your permission when placing certain kinds of cookie on your devices for the first time. Where consent is required, the law states that it should be ‘informed consent’. We want to ensure that you understand what cookies are and why we use them. 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.
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improve your user experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
Certain aspects of cookbuzz.com require your computer, tablet or mobile phone to accept cookies, as, without them, you won’t be able to take advantage of the personalisation that we offer. You are at liberty to restrict, block or delete cookies from this or any other website, however, by checking the Help menu on your browser for guidance on changing your cookie preferences. Please be reassured that cookies will be properly destroyed after inactivity or logout.

There are 4 main cookie categories, as outlined in the ICC UK Cookie Guide (please see below for their website):

• Strictly necessary cookies are essential in order to enable the visitor to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these, cookie services that have been asked for cannot be provided. These cookies don't gather any information about the visitor that could be used for marketing, or remember where they have been on the internet. These cookies will not be used to gather information that could be used for marketing to the user or to remember customer preferences or user ID’s outside a single session (unless the user has requested this function).
• Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works.
• Functionality cookies allow a website to remember choices a visitor makes (such as user name, language or the region they are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that can be customised. They may also be used to provide services the visitor has asked for.
• Targeting cookies or advertising cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to the visitor and their interests. They are also used to limit the number of times they see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They remember that a website has been visited and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers.
