The Unity Place website uses technology to collect information about how you use them, to distinguish between users, to help us provide you with a good experience and to allow us to improve the sites and the services we offer. This means that when you visit these websites, cookies or similar technologies will be placed on your computer or other device.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit the Unity Place website. A cookie file is stored on your device and allows us, or our third party partners (see below) to recognise you and make your visit easier and more useful to you when you revisit our websites.
How does Unity Place use cookies?
Cookies allow us to recognise users (where appropriate), tailor the content on our website to fit the needs of our website’s visitors and help us improve the user experience. Without certain types of cookies enabled, we can’t guarantee that the websites and your experience of them are as we intended it to be.
We use cookies to obtain information about your visits and about the device you use to access our websites. This includes where available, your IP address and pseudonymous identifiers, operating system and browser type and, depending on the cookie, also includes the reporting of statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns.
Here are some examples of how we use cookies
- Our web analytics service, categorised as ‘Statistics’, uses cookies so we can see how visitors reach the Unity Place website and the path they take through it. This helps us improve our service to you. We use Google Analytics to help us understand how to improve our website, what our most popular content is, and where we have issues that need fixing.
Types of cookies
The length of time a cookie stays on your device depends on its type. We use two types of cookies on the Unity Place website:
- Session cookies are temporary cookies which only exist during the time you use the websites (or more strictly, until you close the browser after using the websites). Session cookies help our websites remember what you chose on the previous page, avoiding the need to re-enter information and improve your experience whilst using the websites.
- Persistent cookies stay on your device after you’ve visited our websites for a pre-determined period of time. Persistent cookies help us identify you as a unique visitor.
