What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that may be placed on your browser or device when you access a website. They can help a website recognise a browser, remember certain information between visits, or support functions that allow pages to operate as expected. A cookie does not automatically identify you as a person; what it can do depends on how the relevant website, browser or service is configured.
Similar technologies
Similar technologies may include browser storage, pixels or comparable tools that can support related website functions. The terminology used for these tools can vary between browsers, devices and service providers. Like cookies, they may be used to retain a setting, understand whether a page is working properly, or support a particular feature where that feature is available. This policy uses “cookies” as a practical shorthand for cookies and similar technologies.
Some technologies are set by the website itself, while others may be connected with an external service used through the website.
First-party and third-party context
First-party cookies are set by Cardemble’s website. Third-party cookies or similar technologies may be set by an external organisation if its content or functionality is used on the site. Where an external service is available, its provider may have its own privacy notice, cookie information and controls. Cardemble does not assume that every visitor sees, uses or accepts an external service, and no particular third-party arrangement is implied by this policy.
