What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files which are stored on your computer or a website (both Mobile or Web). They are designed to hold a small amount of data specific to a particular client and website and can be accessed either by the website or your computer. Your browser makes cookies available each time you visit our websites or App.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

Cookies are used to improve your online experience and to ensure that relevant content and functions are delivered and used more effectively.

We use both session cookies and persistent cookies to perform various functions across our sites.

Session cookies are downloaded to your device temporarily for the period that you browse a particular website; these cookies might allow you to navigate between pages more efficiently or enable websites to remember the preferences you select. Persistent cookies can be used to help websites remember you as a returning visitor or ensure the online adverts you receive are more relevant to you.

How Do We Use Cookies?

When you visit our website or App, Cookies will be placed on your device in two ways. Cookies placed by Quid, as the site operator, are called “first party” Cookies. Cookies may also be placed on your device by a party, and these are known as “third party” cookies. Examples of the uses of third-party cookies include collecting information about browser habits and providing tailored content to you. Customer experience and usage metrics will also be extracted from all our products.

While there are many different uses for first and third-party cookies, the cookies used by us all fall into one of the following four main categories of cookies:
