Cookies Policy

1.WHAT ARE COOKIES? 

Like most websites, Brightex Retail websites use cookies and other equivalent technologies to collect information. Cookies are small data files which are placed on your computer or other devices (such as ‘smartphones’ or ‘tablets’) as you browse this website. They are used to ‘remember’ when your computer or device accesses our websites. Cookies are essential for the effective operation of our websites and to help you shop with us online. They are also used to tailor the products and services offered and advertised to you, both on our websites and elsewhere.

 4.WHAT KIND OF COOKIES DO WE USE?

4.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These are cookies that are required for the operation of a website. They include, for example, cookies that enable users to log into secure areas of a website, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services. Generally, these are session cookies that expire on closing the browser but not always.

 

4.2 Performance cookies

These types of cookies allow online providers to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around their website when they are using it. This assists online providers in improving the way their website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. Generally, these will be first party cookies, and a mix of session and persistent cookies. Sometimes the services are provided by third parties and specialised software – which can use either first or third-party cookies.

 

4.3 Functionality cookies

These are used to recognise users when they return to a website. They enable the personalisation of content, the recognition of users and remember user preferences (for example, their choice of language or region). They are generally a mix of first and third party, session and persistent cookies.

 

4.4 Targeting cookies

These cookies record a user's visit to a website, the individual pages visited and the links followed. If the cookie is set by a third party (for example, an adtech provider) which also monitors traffic on other websites, this type of cookie may also be used to track a user's movements across different websites and to create profiles of their general online behaviour. Information collected by tracking cookies is commonly used to serve users with targeted online advertising. These will almost always be third party cookies and mostly persistent.

 

5.HOW CAN I MANAGE MY PREFERENCES?

You can access the Preference Centre where you can change your preferences by clicking 'Cookies Settings' 

Do note that if you remove the consent to a specific class of cookies, it would not delete the cookies from your device and only disable them.
