What is a cookie?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your computer or mobile 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 improving the user experience.
What are ‘similar technologies’?
Functions usually performed by a cookie can be achieved by other means, e.g. tracking pixels.
From now on, this notice uses the term ‘cookies’ to refer both to cookies and other similar technologies, including when used on www.garrard.com and other contexts such as email marketing campaigns.
What cookies do we use on www.garrard.com?
