2: What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data that a website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device when you visit the website or certain pages. The cookie allows the website to “remember” your actions or preferences over time. These cookie preferences are personal and you can manage them yourself, in line with the relevant privacy regulations.

Cookies will usually contain the name of the website where the cookie has come from, how long the cookie will remain on your device, and a value which is usually a randomly generated unique number.

Some cookies will be deleted as soon as you leave the website (“session cookies”), other cookies will remain stored on your computer or mobile device and will help us identify you as a visitor of our website (“permanent cookies”).

3: Why do we use cookies?

Cookies on our Website are used for a variety of different purposes.

We use cookies to improve the user-experience on the website and to map your surfing behaviour (e.g. the pages you have visited and the time you spent on that page). Cookies make our website easier to use and allow us to better tailor it to your interests and needs. Cookies are also used to help speed up your future activities and experience on the website; for example, we use cookies to remember your language preferences.

We also use cookies to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how our Website is being used and how we can improve our services.

In addition, we also use the User ID feature from Google analytics which enables the association of one or more sessions (and the activity within those sessions) with a unique and persistent ID that we send to Google Analytics. This allows us to identify related actions and devices and connect these data points. The purpose is to provide more accurate user count in our reports and to have a more unified holistic story about a user’s relationship with EIT Food.
