Cookies and GDPR – FanServices.co.uk

Cookies are small pieces of data that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or application.

We use them to:

• Remember information about you, so you don’t have to give it to us again. And again. And again
• We will help you to stay signed in, even on different devices
• Help us understand how people are using our services, so we can make them better
• To deliver advertising inside the UK
• Help us personalise Fan Services to you by remembering your preferences and settings.

There are different types of cookies:

We use different types of cookies for different things, such as:

• Analysing how you use our website
• Giving you a better, more personalised experience

Read on to find out more about the different kinds of cookies we use.

These cookies let you use all the different parts of our website. Without them, services that you’ve asked for can’t be provided.

These help us personalise to you by remembering your preferences and settings.

These help us make sure that the website is working properly and fix any errors. And they let us try out different ideas.

Only if the service you are using contains advertising.

The companies that we and our advertisers use to tailor and deliver advertising to you may also collect data from you across other online services. This data helps us and our advertisers to predict what might interest you and to show you adverts tailored to those interests. This is commonly known as Online Behavioural Advertising (OBA) or interest-based advertising. Not all of the advertising we show is tailored based on your data and your interests. We also tailor our adverts based on the content you are viewing, contextual advertising; for example if you are reading an article about travel then we might show you ads for airlines.

Cross-Device Tracking

If you are not signed in to a web service, we may attempt to match your browsing activity on one device, such as your laptop, with your browsing activity on another device, such as your smartphone, so that we can improve relevancy.

This is purely for reference as we do not use these companies so this is to give you examples to aid transparency in regards to Cookie and GDPR compliance.
