How does Principle use cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. The table below explains the cookies we use and why. We are providing the following information in accordance with the EU Cookie Law. Details of this regulation can be found at the following address:
https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-pecr/cookies-and-similar-technologies/
Why do we use cookies?
To do a few different things:
- To remember information about you, so you don’t have to give it to us again and again
- To help us understand how people are using our services, so we can make them better
- To help us personalise our systems to you by remembering your preferences and settings
A few things on our websites wouldn’t work without some cookies. Tech people call these “strictly necessary cookies”. They’re always on when you visit us.
But we want to use others like functional and performance cookies to improve your experience. We’ll only use them if you’ve agreed. You can always change your mind.
How long do cookies last?
Some are erased when you close the browser on your website or app. Others stay longer, sometimes forever, and are saved onto your device so they’re there when you come back. You can change some settings on your computer or mobile device to cause all saved cookies to be cleared/ erased, as if you never had them.
How do I control my cookies and tracking?
When you first visit us, we’ll tell you about our cookies and ask you to agree if we can use them. You can always change your mind by going to your settings (see below).
Stopping all cookies might mean you can’t access some parts of our websites or services, or that some of them might not work properly for you.
