This Cookie Policy sets out how Offer18 uses cookies and other digital technologies on the www.offer18.com platform (hereinafter "Offer18", "we", "our" or "us").

This cookie policy sits in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and should be read in line with our Privacy Policy. If you have questions or comments, please contact us.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small (temporary) text files that we transfer to your device that enable the collection of data from your device ("Cookies"). When you visit our website (hereinafter "Platform"), these files are downloaded to the browser directory or hard drive of your computer, tablet or smartphone (hereinafter "Device"). Each time you visit our Platform, the cookie and the Platform communicate with each other and thus recognise your Device. This is useful for both you and us. For example, a cookie can be used to save your text entries in form fields on the website so that you do not have to enter the same information again the next time you visit the website. This improves the user-friendliness of our platforms. We manage the cookies using a small program called a tool or tag.

We use first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies come from our platform and send information only to us; third-party cookies are placed on our platform by third parties and send information about your device to other companies that recognise that cookie. In most cases, the information in a cookie is pseudonymised or anonymised because cookies generally do not identify you as an individual, but rather your device. In a few cases, certain cookies may be linked to personal data. We will only process such information if you give us your consent or if the processing is necessary to enable you to use a certain service.

Please see our privacy policy for information on how we process personal data collected on our platform.

You can set your browser to notify you of these cookies or to block them. However, blocking them will cause parts of the platform to stop working. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information.

Functional cookies: These cookies enable the platform to provide improved functionality and personalisation. They are set either by us or by third parties whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, these services may not function properly.

Analytics or performance cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and track traffic flows so that we can measure and improve the performance of our platform. They help us to know which pages are most and least popular and to see how visitors move around the site. All the information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our platform and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Advertising cookies: These cookies may be set by our advertising partners on our platform. They may be used by these companies to profile your interests and show you relevant advertising on other websites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on the unique identification of your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will receive less targeted advertising.

Social Network Interaction and Widgets: Social network widgets, buttons and plug-ins on the Platform passively transmit data relating to social network members on the relevant social network. These technologies may allow a social network to personally identify its members and know the web sites its members have visited. This is always the case when social network buttons are embedded. If you are a member of a social network or use web services in these categories, you should check the privacy policies of these services to find out what data they collect and whether the respective service offers options on how the data is collected and used. If you disable advertising cookies, the passive tracking associated with these buttons will be blocked on our platform.
