What is a "cookie"?
Cookies are small text files stored on the hard drive by your web browser when you use websites. A cookie file allows Foxtrot Alliance or a third-party to recognize you and make your next visit easier and the website more useful to you. In this policy, we use the term “cookies” to refer to all files that collect information in this way.
Cookies serve many functions. For example, they can remember the username, any promotions code(s), preferences and analyze how well our website is performing, or even allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you.
Certain cookies contain personal information, but most cookies will collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use our websites, or a user’s general location.
What is the lifecycle of a cookie?
Cookies are administered by web servers. The lifecycle of a cookie may vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it was placed. It can be removed manually when you delete it, or it expires. From a technical perspective, only the web server sending the cookie may access it again when you return to the website associated to the web server. For example, as mentioned above, certain cookies are exclusively used during a single session (“session cookies”) and are not remembered after you leave the website. Other cookies are remembered and reused each time you return to the respective website (“persistent cookies”).
