When you interact with PEMAC, we try to make that experience simple and meaningful. When you visit www.pemac.com, our web server sends a cookie to your computer. Cookies are small pieces of information which are issued to your computer when you visit a website and which store and sometimes track information about your use of the website. For example, cookies are used to personalise web search engines and to store shopping lists of items a user has selected while browsing through a virtual shopping mall. A number of cookies that we use only last for the duration of your web session and expire when you close your browser. Other cookies are used to remember your details when you return to the website and will last for longer.
We use cookies to:
- remember that you have visited us before; this means we can identify the number of unique visitors we receive. This allows us to make sure we have enough capacity for the number of users that we get;
- customise elements of the promotional layout and/or content of the pages of the website;
- collect statistical information about how you use the website (including how long you spend on the website) and where you have come to the website from, so that we can improve the website and learn which parts of the website are most popular with visitors; and
- to speed site navigation and recognise your access rights on the website.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies but, if you prefer, you can change your browser to prevent that or to notify you each time a cookie is set. You can also learn more about cookies by visiting www.allaboutcookies.org which includes additional useful information on cookies and how to block cookies using different types of browser. Please note, however, that by blocking or deleting cookies used on the website, you may not be able to take full advantage of the website.
Cookies used by PEMAC can be largely categorised as follows:
| Cookie type | Cookie purpose |
| Necessary | These cookies are essential to enable you to move around websites and use the websites’ features, such as accessing secure websites or secure areas of websites. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, such as identifying you as being logged in to the website throughout your visit, cannot be provided. |
| Functionality | These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. Other examples include cookies that keep track of your progress when filling online application forms. |
| Performance | These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. |
| Targeting Cookies | Targeting cookies remember individual websites you have visited and help PEMAC to present relevant and targeted online advertising to you. Targeting cookies may be placed on your machine when you visit the website. When targeting cookies have been placed on your device, they can be recognised by subsequent websites you visit, and this allows those sites to present targeted PEMAC and third-party advertising to you. While targeting cookies can track your visits around different websites, the information collected is anonymous. |
