4. WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE USED BY RACKITDIRECT.COM?
The types of cookies used on our platform can generally be put into one of the following categories: strictly necessary; performance; functionality; or targeting. You can find out more about each of these cookie categories below.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the platform to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work.
Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All 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 site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the platform to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.
Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
5. IS CONSENT NEEDED TO USE COOKIES?
We do not need your consent to store and access essential cookies on your device, although you can still block or delete them (see How do I refuse, block or delete cookies?).
We may only store and access non-essential cookies on your device with your permission. You are not obliged to give consent to our use of non-essential cookies. If you do give your consent and then change your mind, you can still delete any cookies that have already been placed (see How do I refuse, block or delete cookies).
