Cookie Policy

Our cookie policy was last updated on October 10, 2022.

Expanish uses cookies on expanish.com. By using this website, you consent to the use of cookies. Our Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use cookies, how third-parties we partner with may use cookies and your choices regarding cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text that are generated by a server when you visit a website. A cookie file is stored in the browser on your computer, tablet or mobile device and allows the website or a third-party to recognize you when you return to the website/app.  

Cookies are designed to provide useful information and improve the way you interact with a website. For example, cookies can save user preferences and registration details to save you time and offer a more efficient experience on your next visit. Websites often use cookies to track user habits and gather information that can be used for marketing purposes, such as more targeted recommendations and adverts. 

There are “persistent” or “session” cookies:

  • Persistent cookies are stored on the users’ device and not deleted when the browser is closed. These are the cookies that are used to save user preferences and details for future website visits. They sometimes come with an expiration date, at which point they will be erased.

  • Session (or non-persistent) cookies are only stored during a browsing session and deleted when the browser is closed. They are used to save user actions during a session, such as tracking items in a shopping basket. Session cookies are not saved on a device’s hard drive and do not store information about the user’s device. 

Third-party cookies are those that are created not by the website you visit but other domains/servers that feature on it. For example, third-party cookies are commonly created by adverts that are displayed on the website you visit.
