Cookie Policy.

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how One Brit Abroad ("I", "me", or "my") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit my website at onebritabroad.com ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why I use them, as well as your rights to control my use of them.

In some cases I may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if I combine it with other information. In such cases the Privacy Policy will apply in addition to this Cookie Policy.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, One Brit Abroad) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

3. Why do I use cookies?

I use first and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for my Website to operate, and I refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable me to track and target the interests of my users to enhance the experience on my Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through my Website for analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

4. Types of Cookies I Use

Essential Website Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through my Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website to you, you cannot refuse them without impacting how my Website functions. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings however, as described below under the heading "How can I control cookies?".

Performance and Functionality Cookies

These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of my Website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable.

Analytics and Customization Cookies

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help me understand how my Website is being used or how effective my marketing campaigns are, or to help me customize my Website for you.

5. How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on my website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use my website though your access to some functionality and areas of my website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.

6. What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. I may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable me to recognize when someone has visited my Website or opened an e-mail including them. This allows me, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

7. Do you serve targeted advertising?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through my Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by them using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable me or them to identify your name, contact details or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.

8. How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

I may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies I use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about my use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
