Managing Your Preferences
Before we dive into the details – if you are just looking to manage your preferences on our Site relating to cookies and similar technologies (including opting-out), you can do so at any time through our Consent Preference Centre in the bottom left hand corner of each page. If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Site. For example, we may not be able to recognize your device and you may need to log in every time you visit our Site.

What types of technologies does Cork use?
We may use any or all of the following “technologies” on our Site and in our emails:
- Cookies: a cookie is a very small text file that may be placed on your browser or in the storage on your device. There are two types: “session cookies” and “persistent cookies”. Session cookies are cookies that disappear from your device or browser when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device even after you close your browser. Please note that both Cork and third-party service providers may set cookies via our Site – these ‘third party cookies’ are set by domains other than those we control and may recognize your device across different websites.
- Pixel tags: A pixel tag is a single pixel, transparent GIF image with a unique identifier that can recognize certain types of data on your device (similar to how cookies do). They are used to operate and improve the Site and our email practices, including to help deliver cookies, count visits and understand usage and
email campaign effectiveness. For example, we may put pixel tags on emails to understand how you interact with that email – such as whether you opened the email, whether you forwarded it, whether you clicked on a link in the email that directed you to our Site etc – these pixels may collect the time, location and operating
system of the device you use to read the email. - Other similar technologies: We may also use other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs and tags, HTML5 local storage / local shared objects (which store relevant data locally on your device), for similar purposes as described in this Cookie Notice. So, when we refer to cookies and “similar technologies” in this Cookie Notice, such reference includes reference to the pixel tags discussed above, HTML5 local storage / local shared objects and other equivalent tracking technologies.
