How we use Cookies
The vanlocker.co.uk website uses Cookies in the following ways:
Making our website work:
These Cookies are essential so that you can move around the site and log in to your Account. Without them you would be unable to shop on the website or access your account.
Monitoring and improving the performance of the website:
These Cookies collect information about how visitors use the site, e.g. which pages they visit most often and whether they see error messages. The information is aggregated so it does not identify individuals, and we use it only to help us improve the way the website works.
Enabling the features of the website:
These Cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made, such as your user name, and help us provide you with a better, more personal experience. For example, they may allow you to watch a video clip, comment on a blog or add a product review.
Marketing and advertising:
These Cookies are used to deliver adverts that are more relevant to you, as well as to limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. The Cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information may then be shared with other organisations for advertising purposes. They're also used to enable price comparison sites to work.
What are ‘Flash Cookies’ (or ‘Local Shared Objects’)?
If your browser does not support HTML5 player, vanlocker.co.uk may deliver video content using Adobe Flash Player instead (although you may experience display problems if your browser is unsupported). Flash Cookies are stored on your device in a similar way to other types of Cookie, but they're managed differently by your browser, and if you wish to disable or delete them you can do this through Adobe Flash Player security settings.
