Whenever you use our online services, cookies and other tracking technologies can be used in several ways.  If you want to learn more about what a cookie is, how they are used and what your choices are, please read more here.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small amount of data that is placed in the browser of your computer or on your mobile device. So-called “first-party cookies” are cookies which are served by the entity operating the domain through which the cookie is served. JFF Charters cookies are therefore “first-party cookies”. 

In addition, there is a difference between session cookies and permanent cookies. Session cookies will only exist until you close your browser. Permanent cookies have a longer lifespan and are not automatically deleted once you close your browser.

Aside from cookies, other tracking technologies are used which are similar to cookies. These can include web beacons (also known as pixel tags, web bugs, or GIFs), tracking URLs, or software development kits (SDKs). A web beacon is a tiny graphic image of just one pixel that can be delivered to your computer as part of a web page request, in an advertisement, or in an HTML email message. Pixels can be used to retrieve information from your device, such as your device type or operating system, IP address, and time of visit. They are also used to serve and read cookies in your browser. Tracking URLs are used to understand from which referring website the JFF Charters websites or apps are used. SDKs are small pieces of code included in apps, which function like cookies and web beacons. 

All these technologies are together referred to in this Cookie Statement as “cookies”.
