COOKIE POLICY / COOKIE MANAGEMENT POLICY

I. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a website. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user’s web browser on the hard drive of a user’s computer. A cookie enables recognition of the computer you are using. Cookies record what information a user accesses on a web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that website by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user’s transactions on related web pages.

When you browse the Site, it may deposit cookies onto your computer. Cookies placed by Lactalis Heritage Dairy are called “first party cookies.” Cookies placed on your computer by parties other than Lactalis Heritage Dairy are called “third party cookies.” Third party cookies also enable recognition of your computer both when you visit the Site and, in certain circumstances, when you visit other websites. Both first party cookies and third party cookies record data anonymously and do not cause any damage to your computer.

 

II. WHAT COOKIES ARE USED ON THE SITE?

Types of Cookies Purpose of the Cookie Consequence of Disabling
Strictly Necessary Cookies These cookies are necessary for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Site will not then work. NOTE: these cookies cannot be disabled using our cookie banner.
Targeting Cookies These cookies may be set through our Site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information such as your name, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
Performance Cookies These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our Site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

 

III. COOKIE MANAGEMENT

Upon visiting a Site, a Cookie Banner will appear, which will include a link to a Cookie Management Tool (via the Do Not Sell My Information button). The Cookie Banner will give you the following options: (1) consent to the use of all cookies; (2) block / opt out of Functional, Targeting, and/or Performance Cookies (and consent to the other, as desired) ; or (3) block all cookies. If you choose to consent to any or all cookies, you may modify or withdraw your consent at any time by re-accessing the Cookie Consent Tool.

B. USE YOUR BROWSER TO CONTROL COOKIES

Most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete and block cookies for a website. Be aware that if you delete all cookies then any preferences you have set will be lost, including the ability to opt-out from cookies as this function itself requires placement of an opt out cookie on your device. Guidance on how to control cookies for common browsers is linked below.

Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en

Mozilla Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-and-disable-cookies-website-preferences

Safari: https://support.apple.com/kb/index?q=cookies&src=globalnav_support&type=organic&page=search&locale=en_US

Microsoft Internet Explorer: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17442/windows-internet-explorer-delete-manage-cookies

For information on additional browsers and device types please see http://www.aboutcookies.org/ or http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/ .

There are online tools available for clearing all cookies left behind by the websites you have visited, such as https://www.allaboutcookies.org/.

C. Use the GPC.

 

IV. WHO CAN ACCESS YOUR COOKIES?

Once cookies have been stored on your browser, they can be read only by the company that placed them there.  For example, if Lactalis Heritage Dairy saves a cookie on your browser, Lactalis Heritage Dairy can access its own cookie, but cannot access those of another company. If Google places a cookie on your browser, Google can read the information stored on that cookie, but we cannot.

 

V. COOKIE EXPIRATION

Cookies generally expire after 13 months.
