1.  Introduction

We think it's important for you to understand how cookies and other similar technologies are used by King’s Inn. We have provided this cookie policy to tell you more about why we use cookies and other similar identifying technologies, the types of cookies and similar technologies we use, and your choices in relation to these technologies. In this policy we use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and other similar technologies covered by the EU Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (e-Privacy).

2.  Cookies and what they do

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer by a web site. Some cookies are only placed on your device for the time you are browsing the website. Cookies can be read by the site on your subsequent visits.

Cookies are commonly used by websites to remember some aspect of your current or previous visit. This could include things like the choices you’ve made or preferences you’ve chosen during your visit. Websites commonly do this in order to improve or tailor your current and future visits to that site or other related sites.

They are stored in your browser’s cache and allow a website or a third party to recognise your browser. Most browsers support cookies but you can configure your computer or mobile device browser's settings locally to reflect your preference to accept or reject cookies, including how to handle third-party cookies.

By continuing to browse the site, you are agreeing to our use of cookies.

3.  Purpose

Our policy is to use cookies only to improve the way we do business with you or when they’re essential to the way our website works. Where possible, we have ensured to not collect your personal data.

The types of activities we may use cookies for are:

·         Finding out how people use our sites, such as how often they visit, which pages they go to, and which links they click on, so that we can improve our sites;

·         Store information about which media players you use so that any video content appears correctly;

Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites.
