Version date: 15/09/2023
Please read this policy carefully as it contains important information on how we use cookies and similar technologies on our “Website” https://www.amivetexports.co.uk/
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Notice which tells you how and why we collect, use (‘process’) your personal data. It also explains your rights in relation to your personal data and provides details of how to contact us.
This policy may be updated from time to time, so please check back regularly.

2. Our website
This cookie policy relates to your use of our website.
Throughout our website we may link to other websites owned and operated by certain trusted third parties to make additional services available to you. These other third-party websites may also use cookies or similar tracking technologies in accordance with their own separate policies. For privacy information relating to these other third-party websites, please consult their policies as appropriate.
3. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file which may already be stored on your device, or which is placed onto your device (e.g., computer, smartphone or other electronic device) when you use our website. Some cookies can help services to recognize you and your device and store some information about their customers and their devices and may store some information about customer preferences, consents, and past actions. Cookie data itself does not contain any personal information but they can when combined with other information be used to identify you. If you are interested in finding out more about cookies, please visit https://allaboutcookies.org/what-is-a-cookie.
Pixels (Tags)
We also use another type of tracking technology called pixels (sometimes referred to as tags). Unlike a cookie which is stored on your device, a pixel is a tiny piece of code that collects information about a visitor to a website and their behaviours on the site (such as how they browse and what types of actions they take). These tiny pieces of code can be linked to users via unique identifiers.
What is the difference between a cookie and a pixel?
Tracking pixels and cookies are very similar and are often used simultaneously. They both serve similar purposes by tracking user activity and behavior. However, the differences are in how the information is delivered and where it is kept. Cookies are dropped on a user’s browser and cannot follow them across devices. Tracking pixels do not rely on the user’s browser but will send information directly to servers. They can follow users across all their devices which allow marketing efforts to be linked across websites and mobile ads.
A key difference is that pixels cannot be disabled like cookies can.
Our website includes Google Analytics pixels.
By consenting to cookies, you are agreeing to the use of these pixels.
4. Who sets cookies?

There are three different categories of cookies that we use on our website:

- Analytical/performance cookies: Performance cookies are those that provide statistical information on site usage, i.e., web analytics, allowing us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our site works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. These cookies also allow us to see overall patterns of usage on our site and help us record any difficulties you may have with our site.
