COOKIE INFORMATION
What cookies are and how we use them.
What is a cookie?
Most websites you visit use cookies to improve your user experience. Cookies enable a website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’).
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, storing your preferences, and generally improving your experience of a website. Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. If a website doesn’t use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site. So for example, when you enter your login details and move to another page, the site won’t recognise you and won’t be able to keep you logged in.
What’s in a cookie?
A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server and only that server will be able to retrieve or read the contents of that cookie. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. It will contain some anonymous information such as a unique identifier and the site name and some digits and numbers. It allows a website to remember things like your preferences, or what’s in your shopping basket.

Social media buttons
You will see social media buttons on pages of our site such as Twitter, Google +1, Facebook ‘Like’ and, LinkedIn ‘Share’. These enable users to share or bookmark the web pages.
In order to implement these buttons, and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of Appurity Limited. You should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including on Appurity Limited’s site. If you click on any of these buttons, these sites will be registering that action and may use that information. In some cases these sites will be registering the fact that you are visiting appurity.co.uk, and the specific pages you are on, even if you don’t click on their button. Please check the respective policies of each of these sites to find out how they use your information and to learn how to opt out of providing such information.

If you visit one of our pages featuring a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. Here the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited.
If you’re logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Google web fonts
For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our plugin. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.
