Below is information about how Scarlet Splendour and its affiliates (‘Scarlet Splendour’, ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’) use cookies and other similar technologies on our websites and mobile applications.

1. Overview

When you visit our websites, we, or an authorised third party, may store a cookie or similar technologies on your device and browser that collects and processes information about your online activities over time and across different sites. This information might be about you, your preferences or your device, and is mostly used to make the site work as you expect it to. The information does not usually directly identify you, but it can give you a more personalized web experience.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files of letters and numbers containing a unique user ID that are placed on a device to store data that can be recollected by a web server in the domain that placed the cookie. Cookies can do several things, for example, remembering your preferences, recording what you have put in your shopping basket and counting the number of people looking at a website. Similar technologies, such as “tracking pixels,” which are small blocks of code on a webpage or app, are also used.

3. Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies and similar technologies for several reasons. To make our website work or work more effectively, for example, counting the number of people visiting the website, remembering user preferences and settings and enabling sign in. To determine which parts of our sites and emails are of interest to you, to improve your experiences with them, to improve site navigation and fix bugs. They can also be used to provide interest-based and more relevant advertising and help us provide you with content, information, products and services more tailored to your interests. Advertising could be on other websites, mobile applications or devices that you use, as Scarlet Splendour uses third-party cookies.

We may also use cookies and similar technologies in emails to notify us when you have opened an email or clicked on a link in the email. For details on how to unsubscribe from any marketing emails, see the “Your Privacy Rights” section of our Privacy Policy.

When using cookies and similar technologies, we may collect information such as your mobile device ID, IP address and other information about your device, as well as behavioural data of your device usage on our sites (e.g., pages viewed, links clicked, documents downloaded). Our cookies do not hold personal information, such as your name.

Our cookies simply allow us to find information once you are logged in or help link your browsing information to you when you choose to register for a service, download a position paper or white paper, or sign up for a newsletter.

4. What types of cookies do we use?

To provide our visitors with a user-friendly experience we use cookies that may be placed by us or our affiliates and business partners.

First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting, i.e., the URL displayed in the address bar.

Third-party cookies are placed on your device not by the website you are visiting, but by a third party like an advertiser or an analytic system. This typically occurs when the website incorporates elements from other sites, such as images, social media plugins or advertising.
