COOKIE POLICY

We aim to be as open and transparent as possible around the information we collect when you visit our site, including through the use of "cookies".

This policy explains what cookies are and the different types of cookies we use. To make managing these cookies on our Sites easier for you, we have included cookie preference links at the bottom of each page of our Site [http://natgeotv.com/uk/cookies].

For more information on how to manage the cookies we use, please see paragraph 8 below.

We hope that this policy helps you understand, and feel more confident about, our use of cookies. If you have any further queries, please contact us on [ngcukdutylog@fox.com].


1. What is a cookie?

1.1 Cookies are small text files they are stored by your browser onto your computer or mobile device. They are widely used in order to make websites work or work in a better, more efficient way. They can do this because websites can read and write these files, enabling them to recognise you and remember important information that will make your use of a website more convenient (eg by remembering your user preferences).

1.2 Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you do not want information collected this way, you can manage the cookies we use via our cookie preference links at the bottom of each webpage or there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookies feature (please read paragraph 8 below for more details about how to do this).

1.3 We work with other third party organisations to provide the services on our Site. A third party is an organisation which is not hosted at the domain address in your browser when you visit our Site. These third parties may also use cookies on our Site and can also place cookies on your device without you visiting their site directly. If you would like more information about third party cookies, please read paragraph 7 below.

1.4 The two types of cookies we use are known as "session" cookies and "persistent" cookies. These may be cookies which we use and/or a third party uses.

1.5 Session cookie
A session cookie is used each time you visit our Site to give you a session ID. We use this type of cookie to link your actions on our Site and each session cookie will only last for a browser session. Each browser session will start when you open your browser window and finish when you close your browser window. After your visit to our Site all session cookies are deleted. Each time you visit our Site you will have a different session ID.

1.6 Persistent cookie
A persistent cookie has a longer lifetime than a session cookie and lasts for the period of time specified in the cookie (this will vary from cookie to cookie). This type of cookie will not be deleted when you close your browser window and will be activated every time you visit a site which created that particular persistent cookie.

3.1 Why do we use strictly necessary cookies?
These cookies are essential to our Site in order to enable you to move around it and to use its features, such as remembering information you have entered on forms when you move to other pages within a browser session. Without strictly necessary cookies, we may not be able to provide certain services which you have asked for and our Site will not perform as smoothly as we would like it to for you.

3.2 How do I consent to use of strictly necessary cookies?
Accepting strictly necessary cookies is a condition of using our Site and by continuing to use our Site you agree we can place strictly necessary cookies on your device. If you reject these cookies then we cannot predict how our Site will perform when you visit it nor guarantee your security.

Performance cookies do not collect information that identifies you personally and all information that is collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous.
