(Revision Date: 20 June 2018)

In order to provide you with a more personalized, responsive service and to ensure that this Website runs effectively we need to remember and store information about how you use our Websites. This is done by means of ‘cookies’.

This Cookie Notice forms part of our Privacy Policy. For more information on how we collect, process and hold personal information, please refer to the Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

A ‘cookie’ is a small text file generated by a website and saved by your web browser on your device’s hard drive when you visit said website. Your web browser sends these cookies back to a website on each subsequent visit so that it can recognize you and remember things like your user preferences (such as your geographical location, language, your internet protocol address and your display preference). You can find more detailed information about cookies and how they work at: http://www.aboutcookies.org/.

Whenever you use this Website, information may be collected through the use of cookies and other technologies. By using this Website you agree to our use of cookies as described in this Cookie Notice and also to the use of cookies on our other country specific Websites.

How do we use cookies?

We only use cookies that are necessary to enable you to move around our Websites or to provide certain basic features.

We make use of two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies only last for the duration of the session (usually the current visit to a website or a web browser session); and persistent cookies enable us to recognize you as an existing user so it’s easier to access our Websites on your return.

The above cookies are used for the following:

  • recognition of your device so that you need not provide the same information repeatedly; and
  • record keeping of what users do and do not like on our Websites and the popularity of various elements of the Website.
Why do we use cookies?

The aim of our use of cookies is to enable Carrick to better understand the users of our Websites, improve the user experience thereof and ensure that the Websites are functioning correctly, through our monitoring of which web pages and advertisements are seen, how frequently particular web pages are visited and which sections of our Websites are most popular.

How can you control cookies?

You can manage and/or delete cookies as you wish. You can delete all cookies that are already on your device and you can set most web browsers to prevent them from being placed. Please bear in mind that removing or blocking cookies can impact on your user experience and parts of this Website may no longer be fully accessible and/or functional.

Most web browsers will allow you to see what cookies you have and delete them on an individual basis or block cookies from particular or all websites. Please note that any preference you have set will be lost if you delete all cookies, including your preference to opt-out from cookies as this itself requires an opt-out cookie to have been set. For more information on how to modify your web browser settings to block or filter cookies, see http://www.aboutcookies.org/ or http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/.

We or our service providers also use analytic services to help us understand how effective our content is, what interests our users have, and to improve how our Websites work.
