What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file that can be placed on your device that allows us to recognise and remember you. Cookies are sent to your browser and are stored on your device. When you visit our site, we may collect information from you automatically through cookies or similar technology.

This notice may be updated from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore visit this cookie notice regularly to stay up to date about our use of cookies and associated technologies.

How do we use cookies?

We use cookies in a range of ways to improve your experience on our site, including

Understanding how you use our site
Showing you Kudo products and services that are relevant to you

In the next section, we explain in more detail how we use cookies and similar technology on our site and app for a number of purposes.

Using cookies and other technology allows us to analyse how our site is being used, measure the number of visitors to the site, and display advertising.

Cookies are “first-party cookies” and those that are used by our partners are “third-party cookies”. 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. There are more details about both in the following sections.

What types of cookies do we use?

We use four types of cookies, which we describe in this section.

Essential

Cookies that are essential to provide you with services you have requested. For example, these include cookies that make it possible for you to stay logged into a website. If you set your browser to block these cookies, then these functions and services will not work for you. In particular, we won’t be able to save your preferences about cookies.

Analytics

Cookies which measure how often you visit our site and how you use them. We use this information to get a better sense of how our visitors use our website, and to improve it based on this. For example, we collect information about which of our pages are most frequently visited, how long they stay on the website, and the type of device they use. No personally identifiable information is stored in performance cookies. If you would like to find out more information, please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance or Your Online Choices.

Functionality

Cookies that are used to recognise you and remember your preferences or settings when you return to our site, so that we can provide you with a more personalised experience. For example, if you are based in the United Kingdom, we will remember this and make sure that you receive the UK only content and services. A mix of first-party and third-party cookies are used.

Advertising

These cookies may be used for advertising purposes. Some of the pages on the site contain tools or applications that are linked to third-party social networking providers such as Facebook, Google, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. The social media provider may set its own cookies on your device through these tools or applications. You should check the social media provider’s website for further details about how they use cookies.

Third parties may set and access cookies on your device and may also use web logs, pixel tags, or snippets. These are designed to help deliver advertisements that are relevant to your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advert as well as to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising. Most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance or Your Online Choices.

Online retargeting allows us and our advertising partners to show you advertising based on your browsing patterns and interactions with other sites. The use of cookies may mean that as you browse the internet, the advertising you see is, in part, based on your use of www.kudoinsurance.com.

Managing cookies

You will find information on how to delete cookies as well as general information about them. You may need to refer to your device manufacturer’s guide for details on how to do this, and you may have to manually adjust some preferences each time you visit a site. Some services and functionality may not work if you choose to limit or block cookies.
