COOKIE POLICY
1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies. Cookies are small text files that uniquely identify your browser or device. The cookie file is stored on your browser. When you return to that website (or visit websites that use the same cookies) these websites recognize the cookies and your browsing device.
We also use technologies which are similar to cookies, such as web beacons/pixels, log files and mobile device identifiers.
Web beacons/Pixels. Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. Web beacons (also called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”) are invisible picture files/small portions of code that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize users when providing the Services. Web beacons collect information such as a record of the page on which they are placed and a timestamp. We use web beacons to track the online usage patterns of our users. We also use clear web beacons in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients, which helps us measure the success of our marketing campaigns and use web beacons placed by third party advertisers to track whether you have clicked on the adverts they have placed and to measure success. While you may not have the ability to specifically reject or disable these tracking technologies, in many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly; accordingly, in those instances, declining cookies will impair the functionality of these technologies.
2. Categories of cookies
Cookies do many different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. Cookies can tell us, for example, whether you have visited the Website before or whether you are a new visitor. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
Just like you can get choc-chip, ginger and peanut butter cookies, you can get different types of online cookies.
There are different categories of cookies, including:
- First-party cookies
First party cookies, which are served directly by us to your computer or device. - Third-party Cookies
Third-party cookies, which are served by a third party on our behalf.
Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time. Some cookies are ‘session cookies’, meaning that they exist only while your browser is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are ‘permanent cookies’, meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. They can be used by the Website, for example, to recognise your computer when you open your browser and browse the Internet again.
3. What cookies do we use and how do we use them?
The types of cookies and similar technologies used by us and our partners in connection with the Website can be classified into one of four categories, namely ‘essential cookies’, ‘functionality cookies’, ‘performance cookies’ and ‘targeting cookies’’.
In addition to the cookies we use on this website, we use technologies such as pixel tags in some emails and push notifications which enable us to understand whether you have opened the email and how you have interacted with it.
4. Google analytics
We use Google Analytics, which is a web analytics tool that helps us understand how users engage with the Website. Like many services, Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to track user interactions, as in our case, where they are used to collect information about how users use our site. This information is used to compile reports and to help us improve our service. The reports disclose website trends without identifying individual visitors.
5. Targeted advertising
We use device identifiers and other similar technologies to show you ads that are useful to you. We may share certain information such as your location, browser and cookie data and other data relating to your use of our Service with our business partners to deliver personalized advertisements (“ads”) that may be of interest to you.
Rainford Collections may allow third-party ad servers or ad networks to serve personalized advertisements either on the Service or on third party websites, including Facebook and Google. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser or mobile device, these personalized ads and ad links, and will automatically receive your IP address when they do so. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, device identifiers, location data, and clear gifs, see above) to compile information about your browsers or device’s visits and usage patterns on the Service, and to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize the advertising content.
Rainford Collections does not sell, rent, or share the information we collect directly from you or about you from third parties with these third-party ad servers or ad networks for such parties’ own marketing purposes.
6. How to control or delete cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies on this site to make sure you can use the Website easily and enjoy the Website. Some of these cookies are essential and we cannot provide our service without them, but there are others that can be turned off (depending on the device you use). Note that, depending on the type of device you have, it may not be possible to delete or disable tracking mechanisms. In addition, we note that disabling cookies and/or similar technologies prevents Canva or its business partners from tracking your browser’s activities in relation to the Service, and for use in targeted advertising activities by Canva, including via third party websites. It also disables many of the features available through the Service.
How to change your browser settings
You can change your preferences by changing the settings in your browser. Your browser will allow you to:
- See what cookies or other similar technologies have been dropped on your device.
- Block cookies or similar technologies.
- Clear cookies or similar technologies from your browser.
Deleting cookies or similar technologies means that any preference settings you have made on a particular website will be lost and the functionality of our website will be impaired. We cannot guarantee that your experience on our website will be as good as it could otherwise be.
If you want to change your settings at any time (for example, if you accept all cookies, but later decide you do not want a certain type of cookie) you’ll need to use your browser settings to remove any third-party cookies or similar technologies dropped on your previous visit.

We will occasionally update this policy to reflect changes in our practices and services. When we post changes to this policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy.
