What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web server which enables a website and/or mobile app to recognize repeat users, facilitate the user’s ongoing access to and use of a website and/or the mobile app and allows the website and/or mobile app to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements and targeted advertising.
Why do we use them?
Cookies enable us to monitor the number of people visiting our site and to store their preferences to improve their experience of our website.
What cookies does VisitCurrituck.com use?
We collate information on all the website traffic that is represented in aggregate format through cookies. We use third parties such as Google Analytics and others to collect user information, including through the use of cookies and web beacons. They help us to improve the website and to deliver many of the functions that make your browser experience more user friendly. A cookie will not provide us with personal data, therefore if you have not supplied us with any personal data you can still browse the website anonymously.
Third Party Cookies:
You should be aware that there are cookies which are found in other companies’ internet tools which we are using to enhance the website. You will see ‘social buttons’ on the website, including but not limited to Twitter and Facebook which enable you to share or bookmark certain web pages. These websites have their own cookies, which are controlled by them. We run various competitions and campaigns in conjunction with third parties who may also use cookies. We have listed all of these third-party cookies used on our website as at the date of this Policy; however, the list is likely to change depending on the competition or campaign running at the time. We will do our best to update the list from time to time.

By using the website, you are agreeing to the use of cookies as described in this Policy (i.e. you are agreeing to the placement of cookies on your device unless you specifically choose not to receive cookies).
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
