Cookies

Like most websites, the Yinactions.earth site uses cookies; small data files that are downloaded when you use a website, to make the site easier to use. The information that is gathered helps us to see how people use our site, so that we can provide a better user experience.

Types of Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or other mobile or handheld device (such as smartphones or tablets) when you visit certain pages on the internet. They are used to ‘remember’ when your computer or device accesses our website. Cookies are stored in your browser. The cookie will help us, or another website, to recognise your device the next time you visit. Most cookies won’t collect information that identifies you as a person (personal data) and will instead collect more general information such as how visitors arrive at and use our website.

Session cookies: Session cookies are stored only temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted from the visitor’s device when the browser is closed.
Persistent cookies: This type of cookie is saved on your computer for a fixed pre-defined period of time (usually a couple of months) and is not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are used where we need to be able to recognise your device for more than one browsing session. Persistent cookies used on this website have a maximum storage period of twelve months, please see below for further details.
First party cookies: First party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, and they can only be read by that site.
Third party cookies: Third party cookies are set by a different organisation than the owner of the website you are visiting. For example, advertisers and other third parties may use their own cookies when you click on an advertisement or link on our website, or we might engage a third party analytics company who will set their own cookies to perform this service. The website you are visiting may also contain content embedded from, for example, YouTube or Twitter, and these sites may set their own cookies.

Categories of Cookies

The different types of cookies set out above can be further categorized as follows:

You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site might not work then. These cookies do generally not store any personally identifiable information.
Performance or analytics cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site and gather information on error messages. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

They do not store personal data but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
