This Cookie Policy explains how the EFI Awards (“EFI Awards”) uses cookies and other tracking technologies through our website https://www.efiawards.co.uk/. This Cookie Policy is to be read alongside EFI Awards’s Privacy Policy which explains how EFI Awards uses personal information. If you do not accept our use of cookies you may disable them. You can also change your cookie preferences at any time following our guidance below.
What are web cookies?
Like most websites, EFI Awards’s website uses necessary cookies to make our site work. Web cookies are small files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by a website when you visit it. They contain details of your browsing history on that website and distinguish you from other users. Cookies send data back to the originating website on each subsequent visit or allow another website to recognise the cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device and, for instance, remember your preferences and generally improve your online user experience.
Although this Policy refers to the general term “cookie”, which is the main method used by our website to store information, the browser’s local storage space is also used for the same purpose, and we may use other tracking technologies through this website such as web beacons. As a result, the information included in this Cookie Policy is likewise applicable to all such tracking technologies that we use.
You can find out more about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.
