KLAPP AUDIO VISUAL COOKIE POLICY

This Cookie Policy explains how Klapp Audio Visual uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

The terms "we", "us," "our," or "KlappAV" refer to Klapp Audio Visual.

What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small data file that is placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. A cookie may have unique identifiers and reside, among other places, on your device, in emails we send to you, and on the website.

Cookies set by KlappAV are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than KlappAV are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by third parties in connection with the website, for example, advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

We may use other technologies similar to cookies like web beacons, which are sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs". These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our website or opened an email that we have sent them. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Our website may also use "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs"), which are different from browser cookies because of the amount and type of data stored.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate. Others provide a better experience on our website by remembering some of your activities on the website (including through our plug-ins, widgets, and embedded content). Other cookies enable more relevant advertising and better analytics.

Essential Cookies. Some cookies are required for the website to operate, for example, in the following ways:

  • To identify you as being logged into the website
  • To make sure you connect to the right service on our website when we make any changes to the way the website works

Cookies for Features and Services. Some cookies provide a better experience on our website. For example, without cookies to remember some of your settings and activities on our website, the following functionality may become unavailable:

  • Adding purchases to your cart and remembering the products you have added
  • Remembering settings you have applied, such as layout, text size, preferences, and colours
  • Remembering if we already have asked you to complete a survey or if you already have engaged with particular content on the website to avoid showing these items to you again
  • Remembering when you have added a product to your cart

Cookies for Analytics and Personalisation. Some cookies collect information about how you use the website to help us improve how our website is being used, and to help us understand what may interest you and personalise your experience accordingly. These cookies, for example:

  • Collect or transmit information about you, such as your browser type and search preferences, and your use of the website or third-party sites that incorporate part of the website

Advertising Cookies. We and third parties use cookies to make advertising more relevant to you. They perform functions like measuring the performance of ads, preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting ads that are based on your visits to our website and other sites. These cookies, for example:

  • Provide feedback to advertising partners that one of their visitors also visited the website
  • Provide our marketers with data relating to content that have been displayed to you or that you have clicked on, and the date and time of your use
  • To show you relevant content
  • To understand what actions you take on the website after receiving our advertising

Third-Party Cookies. We work with analytics service providers, advertising partners, and advertising networks that may have access to your device information but does not enable them to collect your name, contact details or other personal information unless you choose to provide this information.
