Cookie Policy

Philglas & Swiggot respects the privacy of all visitors to our website.

This is our policy on the use of cookies on https://www.philglas-swiggot.com. We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect any changes in technology or legislation affecting the way we use cookies and how you, as a user, can manage them.

What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, preferences, basket items) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you visit our website and also assists us in making improvements.

The Cookies we issue

Broadly speaking we issue two types of cookies, first party and third party. First party cookies are cookies issued by our webserver and are registered to our domain. They are typically required for our website to perform as you would expect.

When you browse our site you may also receive Third Party cookies which are not issued directly by us but we facilitate their deployment to enable third-party services on our site such as our live chat function or A/B testing or to measure and improve the effectiveness of our online advertising on other websites.

To make the process as transparent as possible we have grouped the cookies issued into 4 groups:

1. First Party Cookies;
2. Analytics Cookies;
3. Third Party Marketing Cookies; and
4. Third Party Service Cookies.

In each group we have named each of the cookies issued, explained who issues them, for how long and the general purpose for their existence.

Web Beacons

Web beacons (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags and clear GIFs) are typically transparent graphic images placed on a site. Web beacons are used in combination with cookies to measure the actions of visitors on web sites. We may use web beacons to obtain information such as the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, and the type of browser used to view the page.

We may also use web beacons in marketing emails sent by our system.  If you receive the HTML formatted version of such emails and your email is configured to download images, a record of whether or not you open the email (and, if you open the email, how frequently you open it) will be saved with your subscriber history. Your engagement with the content of the communication (such as which links you click on) will also be recorded.

We may use this information in aggregated form to give us an indication of the popularity of content and to help us make decisions about future content and formatting. We may also use the information to publish more content relevant to users in future issues and to unsubscribe recipients who haven't opened our emails for a period of time.
