What Are Cookies?
JOOB websites, online services, email messages and advertisements may use Cookies and other technologies such as pixel tags.
Cookies are small text files placed on your browser (when using your computer, tablet or other device) by us or our partners. Cookies allow the browser to identify the device you’re using to access our websites and to remember some specific information which the web server can later retrieve and use. This information is sent back to our systems as you move around our website. When you quit your browser, some cookies are stored in your computer’s memory, while some expire or disappear.
Cookies are unique to the web browser or device you’re using – so if you’re using a desktop computer as well as a mobile, different data will be collected for each device. You can find more information on the About Cookies website.
There are different types of cookies. Whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the domain placing the cookie. Cookies set by the owner of the website you’re visiting at the time (e.g., cookies placed JOOB website domain) are known as first party Cookies. There are also third party Cookies that can be set by a third party domain other than that of the website you are on e.g. if our partner or other entity sets a cookie. Only the domain owner (or owner of the cookie) can see the information it collects.
Certain (first party and/or third party) cookies remain on your device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that you visit the website that created that particular cookie. These are called persistent cookies.
There are also other cookies which allow website operators to link your actions during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and finishes when you close the browser window. These are known as session cookies. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
This website uses both persistent and session cookies.
