We are committed to maintaining transparency with our users regarding the collection and utilization of their data. For additional details about this and our role as a data controller, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

This Cookie Policy is designed to provide clarity for website visitors ("you") regarding the methods, timing, and reasons behind our cookie usage.

To learn how to remove or prevent cookies, please refer to the section How can I change my cookie settings? below. Nevertheless, we strongly recommend reviewing this policy before taking any cookie-related actions.

What information is available in this policy

Our use of cookies

Every browser that accesses our Website will be provided with cookies by us. To the extent that the cookies we utilize are not absolutely essential for the website's operation, we will request your consent for cookie usage during your initial visit.

We implement cookies on our Website to ensure that every user enjoys an optimal experience while browsing. Data gathered through cookies enables us to enhance your picklynx.co.uk experience.

Cookies generally do not include information that directly identifies an individual user; however, personal data we maintain about you might be associated with information stored in and retrieved from cookies. Our Privacy Policy contains further details about the personal data we process concerning our users.

About cookies

Cookies are tiny text files that websites you visit place on your device. They allow websites to retain your actions and settings (including login credentials, language selection, font size, and other display options) for extended periods, eliminating the need to repeatedly input this information when returning to the site or moving between pages. Cookie usage facilitates efficient page navigation, preserves your preferences, and enhances your browsing experience in various ways. Additionally, cookies can help make the online marketing content you encounter more aligned with your interests.

Similar technologies, such as data stored on your web browser or device, device identifiers, and related software, serve comparable functions. Throughout this policy, we use the term "cookies" to encompass all of these technologies."

Cookies can be categorized according to their duration, the domain they originate from, and their storage location.

Based on their duration, cookies fall into two categories:

  • session cookies that are removed when the user closes the browser – session cookies persist only for the duration of the session (typically the current website visit or browser session).
  • persistent cookies that remain stored on the user's computer or device for a predetermined timeframe (unless manually deleted by the user prior to expiration). Persistent cookies assist us in recognizing you, making it simpler to revisit our Website or use our services without repeatedly signing in or adjusting settings. Once you sign in, a persistent cookie remains in your browser and will be accessed again upon your return to our site.

Regarding the domain they originate from, cookies can be:

  • first-party cookies that are established by the web server of the page you're visiting and belong to the same domain, or
  • third-party cookies placed by a domain different from the one you're visiting. This occurs when a webpage includes files, like JavaScript, hosted on external domains.

Considering their storage location, cookies can be:

  • browser cookies that are transmitted by a website and saved in the user's browser. Browser cookies contain less data than Flash cookies and can only be accessed by the specific browser where they are stored.
  • Flash cookies referred to as local shared objects, which differ from browser cookies in terms of data volume, type, and storage method. They are saved outside the browser and can be accessed by various browsers on the same device.

Which cookies do we use and what is their purpose?

We employ all cookie types described above. Below you will find comprehensive information about our cookies, including their purposes and origins.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are required for our website to function properly. They enhance website usability by activating core features such as page navigation and entry to protected sections. These cookies can safeguard and speed up our website through automatic content delivery optimization, resulting in faster page loading and superior performance. Additionally, essential cookies serve security purposes and help identify verified visitors. They can detect and differentiate bots from real users, blocking spam activities on our website.

Preference and functionality cookies

Preference cookies allow websites to retain information that modifies website behavior or appearance – such as your language preference or geographic location. They can also facilitate requested services like video playback or live chat functionality.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies assist website operators in understanding visitor interactions by gathering and reporting data anonymously. We utilize analytics cookies to examine how our website is being used. These cookies can handle data concerning visitor counts, traffic sources, page views, scrolling behavior, downloads, user agent details, session duration, and approximate device location when accessing our website. We compile this information into reports that aid in website enhancement. Reports might be displayed visually using heat maps and anonymized screen recordings.

Marketing cookies are employed to ensure the normal operation of marketing services. These cookies track visitors across different websites with the goal of showing advertisements that are pertinent and appealing to each individual user.

When you consent to receiving promotional content, marketing cookies enable us to assess your preferences for specific content, which we then use to deliver targeted advertising aligned with your interests.

Please note that we may utilize marketing cookies from other providers whose services we use for marketing purposes. Additionally, our partners may place third-party cookies (see the section below) to advertise their products.

Third party cookies

Third parties may place cookies when you access our Website. This can occur because we have engaged third parties to deliver services on our behalf. Alternatively, it may happen because our web pages feature third-party advertisements or content like videos and news articles.
