Cookie Summary
We use cookies on this website and other Pipe Ten group websites.
Our overall cookie policy can be summarised as “do no evil”; this includes:
- Use cookies only where they are necessary to deliver, understand and optimise our services.
- Any third-party resources which could set cookies, are permitted only with agreement they will not share the information gathered.
- By using our websites or services you consent to our use of cookies to provide the website or services in accordance with this policy; your consent can be withdrawn at any time through deletion and cessation of services.
About cookies
Cookies consist of parcels of information, often including unique identifiers, sent by web servers to web browsers, which may then be sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Web servers can use cookies to identify and track users as they navigate different pages on a website and identify users returning to a website.
Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies.
A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which will be stored by the browser and will remain valid until its set expiration date (unless deleted by the user before the expiration date).
A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session when the web browser is closed.
How we use cookies
Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
We may use the information we obtain from your use of our cookies for the following purposes:
- to recognise your computer when you visit our website
- to track you as you navigate our website, and to enable you to log in to your Pipe Ten accounts and services
- to improve the website’s usability
- to analyse the use of our website
- in the administration of this website
Third-party cookies
We do not share the cookies we create with third parties; however, by visiting this website and other Pipe Ten group websites, we may use third-party resources who, by including those resources, set their own cookies. We don’t allow our approved third parties to use the information stored or linked to these cookies for any purpose other than providing services for the above purposes.
Third-party cookies may include the provision of live chat, website statistics, newsletter subscription, or Google Ads (AdWords) tracking cookies.
Google Ads (AdWords) Cookies
We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and personalise advertisements you see. These cookies collect anonymised data about how you interact with our ads and website to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and deliver relevant content.
Google Ads cookies are non-essential and will only be activated if you explicitly consent by clicking ‘Accept’ on our cookie banner. If you do not provide consent, these cookies will remain disabled, and your browsing experience will not be affected.
Cookie banners & consent
We use a cookie banner to allow users to explicitly consent to non-essential cookies, including Google Ads cookies. By clicking ‘Accept’ on our cookie banner, you consent to the use of these cookies as described in this policy. If you do not consent, non-essential cookies will not be activated. You can withdraw your consent at any time by accessing the cookie settings on our website or deleting cookies from your browser.
We believe cookie banners should provide transparency without employing dark patterns that trick users into providing consent for unreasonable tracking.
Blocking cookies
Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites. If you block cookies, you will not be able to log in to your Pipe Ten account. We recommend the use of https://privacybadger.org/ by EFF to prevent harmful cookies.
Deleting cookies
You can also delete cookies already stored on your computer. Doing this may have a negative impact on the usability of many websites. Guidance on how to delete cookies can be found via your favourite search engine.
