Aerfin
Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how AerFin (“we” and “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It explains the types of cookies we use and why, and how you can change your cookie preferences. You should read this Cookie Policy alongside our Privacy Policy. In addition to the provisions set out in this Cookie Policy which apply to users in the UK, EU additional terms and information relating to use of cookies may apply depending on where you are located. These additional terms are set out as appendices to this policy.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a text file which is stored on your computer or device when you visit a website. They are generally used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information about your use of the website, and to display content and advertising that is relevant to you.
Other technologies operate in a similar way but use different names: for example, pixels, beacons, tags, scripts, social media plug-ins, and device fingerprinting techniques. In this Cookie Policy, we use the term “cookie” to refer to all similar technology.
Why do we use cookies?
We (and our partners, including marketing partners) use cookies for various purposes: to differentiate you from other users on this website, improve user experience, administer the services, remember your preferences, track users’ movements around our website, enable you to navigate between webpages more efficiently, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, help us understand how our website is used so we can improve it, and record information about your visit to help target advertising and to build a profile of you. The purpose for each cookie we use is set out below
What cookies do we use?
We use four types of cookies: strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functionality cookies, and advertising cookies. Each type of cookie has a different purpose.
Some cookies are set by us (known as first-party cookies). Other cookies are set by another organisation’s website (known as third-party cookies). For third-party cookies, we do not have access or control over these technologies. We do not tie the information gathered by third parties to our customers’ or users’ personal information.
A cookie can either be a session cookie or a persistent cookie. A session cookie is stored temporarily on your computer or device while you use the website and is deleted when you close your internet browser. A persistent cookie remains on your computer or device after you have closed your browser, so we can remember if you have visited our website before or your preferences or to track your actions across different websites in order to target advertising to you. Depending on the type of cookie, the period of time the persistent cookie stays on your computer or device is set out below.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are cookies which are essential for our website to operate, such as cookies that are used to help a webpage load quickly.
Functional cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made such as your username, language, the region you are in, in order to provide a more enhanced and personalised experience.
We also use HTTP cookies for customising your user experience, remembering your settings, and monitoring use and effectiveness of our website service.
Performance cookies
These cookies help us to improve the way our website works. For example, they gather information that allows us to count the number of visitors to our website and to see how visitors move around our website.
Other technologies
We may use standard Internet technology, such as web beacons, pixels, and other similar technologies, to track your use of our website. We also may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
The information we obtain in this manner enables us to customize the services we offer to customers and users of our website, to deliver targeted advertisements, and to measure the overall effectiveness of our online advertising, content, programming, or other activities. Web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags or web bugs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users or to access cookies. Unlike cookies, which are stored on your device, web beacons are embedded invisibly on the web pages (or in emails) and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Web beacons may be used to deliver or communicate with cookies, to count visitors to certain pages, and to understand usage patterns. We also may receive an anonymous identification number if you come to our website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website.
We (or service providers on our behalf) may also use pixels to collect certain personal information about you, such as your email address and your IP address. If no email addresses are identified via certain pixels, the data collected from the pixels is immediately deleted. Please see below for further information on our use of pixels in marketing emails.
Advertising and social media cookies
These cookies record information about your visit to our website to help target advertising and to build a profile of you. For example, the pages you have visited, the links you have followed, the number of times you’ve seen an ad, the ads you have clicked on and your browsing habits and interests.
We, and our advertising partners, use this information to make the ads you see, both on and off our website, more personalised and relevant to your interests. Our advertising partners may combine it with other information they have about you, for example information about your browsing habits on other websites or information they have obtained from data brokers. This will then be used to create a profile of you so that relevant advertising is shown to you.
You might also see our advertisements on other websites that you visit. We and our advertising partners use locally shared objects (LSOs) or flash cookies to collect and store information. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing LSOs.
Advertising cookies may also be used for other purposes such as ad click fraud detection, market research, product improvement and debugging.
If you do not wish to have your information used to serving you targeted ads, you can opt out by contacting us at [email protected] or via the contact information below or by amending your preferences via the cookies preference centre (see ”How can you control cookie preferences?” below).
Please note that users in the European Union and the United Kingdom may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, selecting the user’s country, and then clicking “Choices” (or similarly-titled link). Please note this does not opt you out of being served all advertising and you may continue to receive generic ads.
Our website also has social media plug-ins. A plug-in allows you to share our website content via your social media account or easily share information with others. We have a presence on Meta, Twitter/’X’, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn. If you click on any of the social media icons on our website, you will be taken to our pages on those platforms. The platform may then start tracking your behaviour using cookies for their own purposes; for example, to better understand your interests so that they can present relevant content or advertising to you.
Data about you may also be transmitted to the social media channel even if you don’t click on the plug-in. The social media platforms will provide us with statistical information, which we use to help understand how you and our other users interact with our social media presence.
All these platforms provide you with some control over their use of non-essential tracking technology and you can find details of how to exercise this control by reviewing their privacy and cookie notices.
We have contractual arrangements in place with the social media channels we use. Please contact us for more information via the contact information section below.
Pixels in our marketing emails
Our marketing emails contain a campaign-unique “web pixel” to tell us how you interact with our communications, such as whether you opened the email or clicked on a link in it. The pixel will be deleted when you delete the email.
We use this information to help determine which of our emails are more interesting to you and to help us determine if you should continue receiving emails if you do not open them. These pixels help us to understand how effective our marketing campaigns are and your level of engagement with us.
If you do not wish the pixel to be downloaded to your device, you should opt-out of email marketing altogether or configure your email to not load remote images by default or to show your emails in plaintext format.
You can opt out of our marketing emails or change your preferences at any time by clicking “Unsubscribe” in the marketing emails or by contacting us via the “Contact Us” section below.
List based targeting
Sometimes we will use cookies, or other identifiers such as your email address or IP address, to create a list of individuals who we would like to show advertising about our products and services when they use their social media. We may use this list to target advertising to existing customers or users of our website. We may also use this list to target advertising to individuals who share similar interests and profiles to our existing customers or users. For more information about our use of this type of list-based marketing and other similar tools, please visit our Privacy Policy. If you do not wish us to use your information in this way, you can opt-out by contacting us at [email protected].
How can you control cookie preferences?
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by amending your preferences via the cookies preference centre. You can do this by clicking on the “Manage Cookies” icon at the bottom of this webpage. You can then adjust the available sliders on the “View Preferences” tab. You may need to refresh your page for your settings to take effect.
