List of Cookies used on this website

The following categorise and describe the various Cookies used on this website:

Type: Session ID

Purpose: SkyRiver websites use specific Cookies, which are essential for the websites to work properly. One is a Cookie used to create a session ID for the user, so that the system itself can identify the user as a unique and individual user, distinct from anyone else looking at the website. This information is not used or stored outside SkyRiver systems, and is held only temporarily while the user is accessing account pages and other pages, which require unique and secure access. Without this Cookie, such access could not remain secure, so it is very important.

Functional Cookies

Type: Language

Purpose: Used to tailor the default language for the site. Disabling this may cause more of an annoyance to users as they would be prompted to re-enter their language preference.

Country: Used to suggest the most relevant experience based on the country that the user lives in and wants to be delivered to when purchasing SkyRiver products.

Promotion: Used to recognise SkyRiver Club Members eligible to promotions and display information about their corresponding offers.

Login: Used to offer Club Members the option to remember their credentials in order to avoid them retyping their user ID and password each time they access the SkyRiver Club section.

Performance Cookies

Type: Load balancer

Purpose: This cookie allows us to split the load on our servers based on visitors’ use of our pages and applications. It improves the overall performance of our website.

Third-Party Cookies

Type: Google Analytics

Purpose: Google Analytics tracking uses Cookies in order to provide insights on what users do when they visit our site. Cookies do not identify people, but rather they are defined themselves by a combination of a computer, a user account and a browser. However, Google Analytics Cookies do not collect personal data about your website visitors.

Google Doubleclick Used to provide anonymous / aggregated information about where the user goes and what the user does on SkyRiver websites.
