One Skye Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website, mobile application or click links within certain marketing emails. On subsequent visits to that website or mobile application, the cookies are recognized by the site owner or the individual parties setting the cookies. Cookies are important to the proper functioning of our Sites and are used to distinguish you from other visitors to the Sites in order to remember your preferences, create a personalized user experience, understand site usage patterns, or for marketing purposes. Other tracking technologies include web beacons, Java Scripts, entity tags, and HTML5 local storage.

Cookies – Cookies are small data files that are sent from a website’s server and are stored on your device’s hard drive either for only the duration of your visit or for a fixed period. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server.

Web Beacons – Web beacons are small, transparent images that are embedded in web pages, applications, and emails that are sometimes called “clear gifs," “single pixel gifs", "page tags" or “web bugs." We use web beacons to track the web pages you visit, to test the effectiveness of our marketing, and to find out if an email has been opened and acted on.

JavaScript – JavaScript are code snippets embedded in various parts of websites and applications that facilitate a variety of operations including accelerating the refresh speed of certain functionality or monitoring usage of various online components.

Entity Tags -- Entity Tags are HTTP code mechanisms that allow portions of websites to be stored or “cached" within your browser and validates these caches when the website is opened, accelerating website performance since the web server does not need to send a full response if the content has not changed.

HTML5 Local Storage – HTML5 local storage allows data from websites to be stored or “cached" within your browser to store and retrieve data in HTML5 pages when the website is revisited.   

Do You Have to Allow Cookies?

No, you do not have to allow cookies unless they are required (or “strictly necessary”) for the Sites to operate, as described below. However, if you do disable cookies, please be aware that the Site may not load as it is intended and your browsing experience may be less tailored.

Are There Key Terms to Know?

Yes, there is certain terminology that is helpful for you to understand in order to make informed decisions about cookie usage.  This includes first- and third-party cookies and session and persistent cookies.

First- and third-party cookies:  Whether a cookie is “first” or “third” party refers to the domain setting the cookie. This means that a first-party cookie is a cookie set by the operator of the website or application being accessed by the user in the United Kingdom. Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain other than the website or application you are visiting, such as by an analytics provider present on the website. When you use our Sites, we may allow third parties to collect device and usage information and location information across your different devices through mobile software development kits.  Third-party-cookies may include the different types of cookies described below.

Session and persistent cookies:  Session cookies are temporary cookies that allow a website operator to understand actions taken on a website while a browser session is open. These cookies are deleted once the browser is closed.  Persistent cookies, in contrast, remain on a visitor’s browser or hard drive for the duration of time specified as that cookie’s expiration date.

What Are the Types of Cookies We Use?

The below charts list the cookies used by the Sites owned or operated by the One Skyes. Our individual Sites will each use a selection (but likely not all) of these cookies as appropriate.

The cookies that we and our providers use on our Sites may be divided into three main groups, as described further below: required cookies, functional cookies, and advertising cookies.

Required Cookies: Required (or “strictly necessary”) cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the Site, including to enable you to move around the Site and use its features as you expect to, such as accessing secure areas of the Site Because of this, required cookies do not require your consent.

We use these cookies for the purposes of servicing user requests, maintaining shopping carts, identifying you as being logged into the Site, remembering your consent preferences, for authentication, and for security and fraud prevention purposes.

How long will cookies remain on my computer or mobile device?

The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device. See the section below on how to control cookies for more information on removing them before they expire.

How to control cookies?

You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such sites as: www.allaboutcookies.org.
