How do we use cookies at Prestige Pictures?

We use cookies to track your use of our website. This is done through GOOGLE ANALYTICS and STATCOUNTER. These two services tell us how many people have looked at our site, which specific pages were viewed, the length of time spent and the the country of viewing. An IP address is also recorded which means that if that computer is used again to view the site in the future, the viewing experience may be enhanced eg. by not repeating the same information popups etc. This information enables us to understand how you use the site and helps us to ascertain whether most visitors are using a mobile phone or a desktop computer. This will inform our future development of the website. We do not gather your personal identity from cookies. Your personal ID is only gathered if you choose to give us your name and possibly other details as part of a product order or a specific opt-in to our newsletter or other form of marketing communication.

 

Cookies are either:

Session cookies: these are only stored on your computer during your web session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser – they usually store an anonymous session ID allowing you to browse a website without having to log in to each page but they do not collect any personal data from your computer; or

 

Persistent cookies: a persistent cookie is stored as a file on your computer and it remains there when you close your web browser. The cookie can be read by the website that created it when you visit that website again. A persistent cookie will often have an expiry date of one to two years. 

 

Cookies can also be categorised as follows:

Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential to enable you to use the website effectively, such as when buying a product and / or service, and therefore cannot be turned off.
