Cookie List

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website—when visited by a user—asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies—which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting—for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:

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. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

This website utilizes the online advertising programs from various third-party providers from time to time, such as “Google AdWords” and associated conversion tracking cookies may be set on the user’s browser. The information collected by the conversion cookies are used by such third-party providers to provide information such as conversion statistics to clients such as Aesop who have opted-in for conversion tracking. It is possible for Aesop to identify from this information when a particular individual website visitor completes an event (such as making a purchase) after interacting with our ads on those platforms. If you do not want to allow these cookies on your device, you may be able to deactivate them through your user settings in your internet browser, for example you can deactivate the Google conversion-tracking cookie through your user settings in your internet browser.

We also use Google AdWords remarketing codes to log when users view specific pages or take specific actions on a website. This allows us to provide targeted advertising in the future. If you do not wish to receive this type of advertising from us you can opt out using the DoubleClick opt-out page (http://www.google.com/settings/ads) or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page (http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp).

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Functional cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Performance cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They assist us in understanding which pages are the most and least favoured, and 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.

We also use Google Analytics to help analyse how you use our site. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies. The information generated is used to create reports about the use of our site. Google will store this information. If you do not want your website visit data reported by Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. For more details on installing and uninstalling the add-on, please visit the Google Analytics opt-out page at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
