To make our website work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your computer or device like most websites.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that our website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit our site. It enables our website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
Persistent cookies remain on a user’s device for a set period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.
Session cookies are temporary. They allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
Cookies also have, broadly speaking, four different functions and can be categorised as follow: ‘Necessary’ cookies, ‘Preference’ cookies, ‘Statistics’ cookies and ‘Marketing’ or ‘advertising’ cookies. There are also ‘Unclassified’ cookies, where the use has not been defined by the creator.Necessary cookies (also known as Strictly Necessary or Essential cookies) are essential to navigate around a website and use its features. Without them, you wouldn’t be able to use basic services like viewing other pages etc. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you’ve been on the internet.
These cookies are always turned on as we do not have to gain your consent to set them. Examples of how we use ‘necessary’ cookies include:Statistics cookies collect data for statistical purposes on how visitors use a website; they don’t contain personal information such as names and email addresses and are used to improve your user experience of a website.
For us to set these cookies we need your consent, so the default setting is they are turned off, until we gain your informed consent to allow them.Preference cookies (also known as Functional cookies) allow users to customise how a website looks for them: they can remember usernames, language preferences and regions, and can be used to provide more personal services like local weather reports and traffic news.
For us to set these cookies we need your consent, so the default setting is they are turned off, until we gain your informed consent to allow them.Marketing cookies (also known as Targeting cookies) are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you but can also limit the number of times you see an advertisement and be used to chart the effectiveness of an ad campaign by tracking users’ clicks. They can also provide security in transactions. They are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with a website operator’s permission but can be placed by the operator themselves.
They can remember that you have visited a website, and this information can be shared with other organisations, including other advertisers. They cannot determine who you are though, as the data collected is never linked to your profile.For a full list of cookies used on www.valeinfrastructure.com please visit
