Cookies Policy

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website or app. Some cookies are needed to make websites function, but they can also be used to provide useful performance data to the owners of the website, and information to third parties.

Cookies collect information that relates to, for example, the devices you use to access the internet, your location, your browsing history and your Internet Protocol (IP) Address.

2. Cookies we use
Moya Cole Hospice uses both first party and third-party cookies on our website, and they fall into the following categories:

Functional cookies or Session cookies are temporary. They only last for a “session” of browsing. Once you close the browser window, or leave the website, the cookie disappears. Unlike other cookies, session cookies are never stored on your
computer. The Moya Cole Hospice session cookies allow you to:
o Use your shopping cart on ecommerce websites;
o Browse websites without constantly re-entering the same information.

Analytics Cookies (including Google Analytics), which help St Ann’s Hospice assess their website’s overall performance and usability. In other words, they can track:
o How long people spend on the website;
o Whether people find the information they’re looking for;
o If people are ignoring certain parts of the website, or if there’s unusually high activity in other parts.

Marketing Cookies
Moya Cole Hospice works with partners like YouTube, Facebook and other social media channels. Marketing partners use both session and persistent cookies. These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign.

3. Changes to this policy
We may update how we use cookies (and this policy) from time to time. Information on
changes will be posted on this page.
