Cookies on Eureka Gear
Most websites you visit use cookies to improve your experience by allowing the website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit and until you close your browser (using a ‘session cookie’), or for a set amount of time when you visit this site (using a ‘persistent cookie’).
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (‘first party cookies’), or they may be set by other websites or technology partners that run content on the page you are viewing (‘third party cookies’).
Eureka Gear uses different types of cookies to enhance and improve your experience.
First-party cookies
Essential cookies: These cookies are necessary to enable navigation around our website, and for the website and its features to function. You can set your browser to block or disable these cookies, but some parts of this website and services won't work properly or won't be able to provide certain features and functionality. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information
Functional cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as selecting your region or preferred language. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
Performance cookies: These cookies allow us to collect information about how you use our website, such as to count the number and source of visits, so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They also help us to know which pages are the most popular, see how visitors move around the site, and spot any difficulties our readers have with the site. For example, the Google Analytics cookie gives us information such as your journey between pages and whether you have downloaded anything. We also use this technology to check if you have opened our emails, so we can see if they are being delivered correctly and are of interest. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and does not identify the usage of a single person or their personal identity.
Advertising cookies: These cookies are used to help us better understand our advertising campaigns and how we can make these more relevant to you. They may also be set through our site by our partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. For example, these cookies collect information about your activities on this site and other websites to provide you with targeted advertising. We also use cookies to tailor the content of our email newsletter and the emails we send you so that the content is more relevant to you. These cookies do not store personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
Social media cookies: These cookies are set by social media services that enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. These cookies may track your browser across other sites and build up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit, and may also be used for advertising purposes.
Third-party cookies
We use or allow third parties to place cookies, such as Google Analytics which helps us understand more about our website traffic including how long users spend on the site and the pages they visit. We may also use third party cookies to help us with market research, revenue tracking and improving site functionality.
If you click on a hyperlink from Eureka Gear or another Eureka Media website to any third party websites (such as if you ‘share’ content through social networks), you may be sent cookies from these third party websites. Third party websites have their own privacy and cookie policies which Eureka Media cannot control. Visit the third-party websites for more information about their cookies and how to manage them.
Advertisers sometimes use their own cookies to provide you with targeted advertising. This includes when advertisers build a visitor profile on sites that you have previously visited to present you with more relevant advertisements. If you are based in the European Union and would like to learn more about how advertisers use these types of cookies or to choose not to receive them, visit www.youronlinechoices.eu. If you are based in the United States and would like to learn more, visit www.aboutads.info/choices.
