In general, our cookies recognize you when you return to our website or interact with our marketing emails and help us understand what you find most interesting and useful. Specifically, when you visit Breckinridge’s website, we or our third-party service providers may collect a variety of information about you, including: your computer or device type; the internet protocol (IP) address used to access our site; browser type and version; date and time of your visit; pages you view; links you click; and searches you conduct. We also may use similar tracking technologies in emails that we or our third parties send to you. Cookies help us to improve our website design and functionality, to enhance our ability to serve you and to tailor our communications to you regarding our products and services.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files of letters and numbers that are stored on your internet device when you visit websites or interact with emails. Cookies contain information that is transferred to or read on your device. Cookies are used to distinguish you from other users and collect information on your activities. This helps us to provide you with a useful experience and also allows us to improve our online services. You can find more information about cookies at: All About Cookies and Your Online Choices.

Types of cookies:

There are two main types of cookies:

  • Session cookies: these are temporary cookies that expire at the end of a browser session; that is, when you leave a site or email.
  • Persistent cookies: in contrast to session cookies, persistent cookies are stored on your internet device between browsing sessions until expiry or deletion.

Cookies can also be either first-party or third-party cookies. This depends on which website the cookie comes from. First-party cookies are those set by the website owner. All other cookies are third-party cookies.

How do we use cookies?

We use session, persistent, first-party and third-party cookies to tell us, in general terms, how and when pages on our website are visited and our emails are opened and read. In broad terms, we use cookies on our website for the following purposes:

  • Analytical purposes: Analytical cookies allow us to recognize, measure and track visitor behavior and compile a record of this usage information. This helps us to improve our online services.
  • Usage preferences: Some of the cookies on our website are activated when visitors to our sites make a choice about their usage of the site. Our website then ‘remembers’ the settings preferences of the user concerned.

Our third-party service providers also may use some of the collected information to enhance their own products and services.

Third-party links

The third-party links provided on our website may also use cookies that we do not control. You should check the relevant website’s cookie policy for more information on their use of cookies and tracking information.
