HOW DO WE USE COOKIES ON OUR SITE?

7.1         Our website uses cookies.

7.2         A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.

7.3         Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

7.4         Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

7.5         We may use both session and persistent cookies on our website.

7.6         Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies and you can also delete cookies already stored on your computer. However, as most websites these days use cookies, blocking or deleting all cookies will have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites.

7.7         If you block cookies on the Pole PT website, you will not be able to use all of the features on our website.

If you have any questions about the way we collect or store personal information or the use of cookies on our site, please contact us by email: neola@thepolept.com.
