Managing Love Ocean Cookies

When you first visit our website, we (Love Ocean) do not set cookies on your device (other than essential cookies) unless you accept/enable all cookies, or select your own cookie preferences.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time here. However, please be aware that if you choose not to enable cookies it may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are placed on your computer or device when you visit our website.

What are Cookies used for?

Cookies (and other technologies, like pixels and beacons) do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. They also help us understand how our website is being used and can help to ensure that content you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

Cookies can be "First Party", i.e. set by us, or "Third Party", i.e. placed on your device by another company when you visit our website, for example Google Analytics or Advertising cookies. Third-party cookies may be placed on your device by someone providing a service to us (for example, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how our website is being used). Because of how cookies work, our website cannot access third-party cookies; nor can other organisations access the data in the cookies we use on our website.

Types of Cookies

Essential Cookies
Essential cookies enable core functionality such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies; they can only be disabled by changing your browser preferences.

Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help us improve our website by collecting and reporting information on its usage (for example, which of our pages are most frequently visited).

Functionality Cookies
These are used to recognise you when you return to the website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, language or region). We also use social media cookies, to allow you to share pages on social networks or to log onto LoveOcean.com

There are times when we want to reach the Love Ocean community who use social media to market our own products and services to them. We use cookies to help with this. For example, we place a pixel on our web pages that allows Facebook to place cookies on web browsers. When a Love Ocean visitor who uses Facebook returns to Facebook, Facebook can identify them as part of a group of LoveOcean.com and serve them with marketing messages from us. The data that can be obtained from a visit to the LoveOcean.com is limited to the URL of the pages that have been visited, together with the limited information a browser might pass on, such as its IP address. If you are a Facebook user you can opt out at Facebook.com.
