You’re likely very familiar with cookies these days. However, they’re small text files which are placed on your computer by websites that you visit.
- Session cookies are temporary and only stay on your device for the duration of your visit to the website.
- Persistent cookies are stored on your hard drive until they expire, or you delete them.
- Certain cookies are created by the website you are viewing (first-party) and others are supplied by an external company (third-party).
Chimera will place Functional, Essential and Performance cookies on your browser. Additional information about these cookies is set out below. Where we use 3rd party tools (Performance cookies), our partners adhere to relevant cookie and data privacy policies.
Functional and essential cookies
Functional and essential (sometimes referred as ‘strictly necessary’) cookies are required to operate the website. These do not capture personal information. If you block or delete functional and essential cookies you may not be able to view or use the website as intended.
Performance cookies
Performance cookies help us understand how people use our site and to measure its performance, this website uses web analytics cookies provided by Google Analytics. We only use trusted web analytics platforms that provide statistical insight into interaction and behaviours of website visitors. These do not capture personal information but rather report on general performance which helps us improve the overall user experience.
Tracking cookies
Tracking, targeting, advertising and marketing cookies are common terms for cookies that collect information about your browsing habits to make advertising more relevant to you and your interests. Some 3rd parties place requests, rather than cookies to achieve this. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advert as well as help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. The cookies are usually placed by third party advertising networks. They remember the websites you visit, and that information is shared with other parties such as advertisers.
