BRACKENBRIDGE COOKIE POLICY
How Brackenbridge uses cookies:
Brackenbridge uses cookies and other information storage and retrieval devices to track users' interactions with Brackenbridge products and services.
Cookies make it possible to recognise a user's browser and the type of device used to access the Website. They are used to make the user's next visit easier and to make the Website or applications more useful.
Types of cookies used by Brackenbridge:
The Website owned by Brackenbridge uses the following types of cookies:
- Advertising cookies: these allow the most effective management of any advertising space the publisher has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided, based on criteria such as the content published or how often ads are shown. They make it possible to show advertising relevant to the User's interests.
- Analytics cookies: when a user visits the Brackenbridge website, this tool collects standard, anonymous information about the user's browsing and behaviour patterns.
Google Analytics sets the following cookies on the Website's domain:
- "__utma": required for Google Analytics to work; expires after 2 years.
- "__utmz": used to identify where the visit came from, i.e. from where and how the user reached our website; expires after 6 months.
- "__utmb": records the time of arrival on the page and expires 30 minutes after the last page view is recorded. It is deleted automatically when you leave the website or close your browser.
- "__utmc": not required by the current Google Analytics JavaScript code. It was previously used together with __utmb to decide whether to start a new session for the user after more than 30 minutes on the same page. It is still written to ensure compatibility with websites that use the older urchin.js tracking code.
