1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded onto the device a user uses when accessing a website. Each time a device then re-visits a website, the device’s browser will send the files to the website’s server.
Using cookies therefore allows websites to recognise a user’s pc, laptop or smartphone and store information about their preferences and past actions. This then allows thereby improving the experience of the user by doing things such as; authenticating users to save them re-entering log in details, storing a virtual bookmark to allow users to pick up where they left off and track any other preferences a user may have in navigating through a site.
A cookie usually contains a name of the website from which it comes from, a “lifetime”, and a “value”, which is usually a randomly generated unique number. They do not alone identify you as an individual but they do require your consent/permission to run in most cases.
To find out more about cookies, you can visit this site.

Yes. Intelligent Lilli uses various technologies to collect information, and this includes sending cookies to your computer or mobile device to improve your website experience.
We may also collect information using web beacons (also known as “tracking pixels”) – electronic images that can help deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage and product effectiveness and determine whether an email has been opened and acted upon.

4. What types of cookies do we use?

A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when it is closed. Once you close the browser, all current session cookies are deleted.
Session-based cookies allow us to link the actions of a particular user during their session activity. Persistent cookies remain on your device until you manually delete them or while their lifetime is up. They are activated each time when a user visits the website.
