What Are Cookies?

To make our website www.stannergill.co.uk (“our site”) easier to use and improve our service, we sometimes place small amounts of information on your computer. These are known as cookies and are used by most major websites.

Cookies are small pieces of text sent by your web browser by a website you visit. When you visit our website we store a cookie file in your web browser, this allows us or a third-party to recognise you and make your next visit easier and our website more useful to you.

Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies.

Cookies measure how you use our website so we can measure its effectiveness and improve its performance. Our cookies are not used to identify you personally, and you can delete these files if you want to. For more information on how to manage, control or delete cookies, please visit www.aboutcookies.org

How Do We Use Cookies?

When you access and use our website, we may place several cookie files in your web browser. Most cookies will not collect information that identifies you and will instead collect more general information.

What Do We Use Cookies For?

This is not a definitive list of all cookies we use on our website but is a representative example of the type of cookies used on this site.

Functionality Cookies

We use “persistent” functionality cookies to allow us to remember your preferences and recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

Online Shop

Our Online Shop uses “session” cookies to “remember” goods when they you have added to or removed from your shopping basket as you move around our website. Without these cookies being enabled throughout the purchasing process you may not be able to complete your transaction and place an order.

Showing/Hiding The Cookie Policy

We use a “persistent” cookie to enable us to remember that you have already read our Cookie Policy, so we do not show it to you every time you visit our website.

The Age Gate Cookie

To enter our website, you must be the legal age required to purchase alcohol in your country of origin. This “persistent” cookie saves you the trouble of confirming your age every time you access our website. If you have selected that you are the legal age to be able to visit our site, we store this information so that we do not have to ask you the next time you visit.

The Remember Me Cookie

Certain cookies contain personal information – for example, if you click on “Remember Me” when logging in, a “persistent” cookie will store your username.

Google Analytics & Performance Cookies

We use Google Analytics on an ongoing basis to collect and measure information about how people use our website, and from time-to-time use other third-party services. We do this to make sure we are meeting our users’ needs and to understand how we can improve our website.

Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit on our website, how you got here and what you click on. We do not collect or store any personal information (e.g., your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify you. We do not allow Google to share our analytics data.

We use Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting to accurately determine the age, gender, and interests of visitors to our website. This helps us better establish the types of content we make available on our website and what we produce online is relevant to our audiences.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by implementing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available from Google at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/

Custom Audience Tool

We may display interest-based advertisements to you when you are using Facebook through a tool offered by Facebook called the Custom Audience Tool. This tool allows us to personalise our adverts based on your shopping experience with us.

We do not share any of your personal information, including your shopping history, with Facebook. The tool lets Dunnet Bay Distillers Ltd convert your e-mail address to a unique number that Facebook uses to match to a unique number Facebook generates from the e-mail addresses of its users.

What Are Your Choices Regarding Cookies?

You may prefer to disable the cookies on our website. The most effective way to do this is to disable cookies in your browser. We suggest consulting the “Help” section of your browser or visiting www.aboutcookies.org

We believe that that website will work best with cookies enabled.
