COOKIES
This is the cookie notice for www.beatricewind.com.
It applies to information collected and used by Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Ltd. This information is collected through instruments known as cookies and various other technologies, collectively referred to in this Cookie Notice as 'cookies'.
You can view Cookie Settings by clicking the Cookie Settings button at the bottom of your screen.
Please review this Cookie Notice and our Privacy Notice.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files transferred and stored by your web browser to your computer or mobile device when you visit or use a website. Cookies allow websites to recognise your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions.
Cookies can be considered as 'first party' or 'third party' Cookies depending on the domain that places them. First party Cookies are Cookies set by a website visited by the user. Third party Cookies are set by a domain other than that of the website visited by the user, so if a user visits a website and a third-party organisation sets a Cookie through that website, this would be a third-party Cookie.
Cookies can also be considered as 'persistent' or 'session' cookies depending on their duration. Persistent cookies remain on a user's device for the time specified in those Cookies. They are activated every time that user visits the website that created the Cookies, until the Cookies expire or are disabled by the user. Session Cookies allow the actions of a user to be linked during a single browsing session. A session starts when a user opens a browser window and ends when the browser window is closed, following which all session Cookies are deleted.
Why do we use Cookies?
We use cookies and other similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activity and about the device you have used to access our website (including the make, model and operating system, IP address, browser type and mobile device identifiers) so we can provide essential features and functionality on our website:
Make our website as easy and intuitive as possible for you to use
Monitor and analyse website usage and performance so we can measure the effectiveness of our website and improve it (including security)
Remember choices you make when visiting our website and recognise you when you return so you don't have to remind us
Remember certain information about your browsing activity on our website, such as the web pages you have viewed and your preferences. This information can then be used to personalise and improve the way you interact with our website (for example, displaying content we think might be relevant to you based on your previous activity) and inform you of special offers and promotions tailored to your interests (where you have consented to receiving marketing communications from us).
Why do we use Cookies?
The Cookies used on our website can be broken down into two categories:
-
Strictly necessary
-
Functional
Strictly necessary
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 that 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 then some parts of the site will not work.
Functional
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 some or all of these services may not function properly.
Managing cookies
When you visit our websites, you will be presented with a Cookie banner. It gives you the choice to accept the use of Cookies on the site or not. It will also present you with a link to our Cookie manager. Through the cookie manager, you can choose to opt-in or opt-out of the types of cookies active on our sites. You can also find out a bit more about what we use them for. Our Cookie manager will only remember your preferences for our site for the specific browser that you're using at that time.
You can also manage your Cookie preferences at any time by clicking the Cookie Settings button at the bottom of your screen.
If you wish to change your Cookie settings generally, you can delete cookies stored on your computer or change your privacy settings at any time via your browser settings.
