This Cookie Policy explains what cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, clear gifs and other similar tracking technologies (collectively the “Cookies”) are and how The Larkin Company, uses Cookies when you visit Sites owned and operated by The Larkin Company.

This Cookie Policy forms part of our Privacy Policy, which sets out how and why we collect, store, use and share personal data generally, as well as your rights in relation to your personal data and details of how to contact us. Please read our entire Privacy Policy for information on these matters. Capitalized terms used in this Cookie Policy that are not specifically defined in this Cookie Policy have the meanings set forth elsewhere in our Privacy Policy.

I. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place and store on your computer, mobile phone or any other device that can access the Internet. These files are generally used to improve your experience browsing our Site.

Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you; it is a passive file which cannot collect information on your computer or spread computer viruses or other harmful programs.

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. Cookies may tell us, for example, whether you have visited our Site before or whether you are a new visitor.

When you revisit a site, it will respond in a more personalized way, remembering your preferences, providing faster page loading and so forth. There are different types of Cookies. Some Cookies come directly from our Site (first party cookies). While other cookies may be placed and stored by third parties over which The Larkin Company and its affiliates have no control (third party cookies).

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are “session cookies”, meaning that they exist only while your browser is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are “permanent cookies”, meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. They can be used by websites to recognize your computer when you open your browser and browse the Internet again.

We may also use web beacon or other similar cookie technologies. When a visitor accesses our Site, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by us or by third parties. These web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If you do not want your cookie information to be associated with your visits to these pages, you can set your browser to turn off cookies as described further below. If you turn off cookies, web beacon and other technologies will still detect your visit to our Site; however, they will not be associated with information otherwise stored in cookies.
