What Cookies do we use?

We use the following Cookies:

Strictly necessary Cookies

These are Cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They are necessary for the safety, security and integrity of the site. For example they help support the structure of the pages that are displayed to you, help to improve navigation and allow you to return to pages you have previously visited. This type of Cookie only lasts for the duration of the time you are visiting the website. When you leave the website they are deleted automatically.

Performance Cookies or analytical Cookies

They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. The data is aggregated and anonymised, which means we cannot identify you as an individual.

Targeting Cookies

These Cookies will collect information about your browsing habits and allow us to show you adverts while you are browsing our site and other sites on the internet. They are set by us or by carefully selected third parties. They help us to understand the performance of our marketing activities and improve the relevance of the adverts that you see. These cookies will remain active for a maximum of four weeks after you have visited our website.

Blocking or restricting Cookies

You can stop Cookies being used on your device by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to block the deployment of all or some Cookies. Please note, if you use your browser settings to block Cookies you may not be able to access all or parts of our site.

We use a feature of your internet browser called a ‘cookie’ on this website. A ‘cookie’ is a very small text file that your web browser places on your computer’s hard drive which allows us to help you get the best out of your visit to the website. A ‘cookie’ can be thought of as an identification card which tells our website when you have returned. For further information about cookies please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

Our ‘cookies’ are only used to store basic information like your user identification. They do not store password or credit card information.

We use ‘cookies’ to make accessing the website more convenient as you won’t need to remember your user name / email address. This information will allow us to welcome you by name and, over time, to personalise our website content to reflect your preferences. For security reasons, you will still need to enter your password. Our ‘cookie’ will remain on your hard drive indefinitely.

It is possible for you to view our website without providing any personal information but you will need to register your details so that we can process any online order you may make. Another advantage of registering is that we will be able to contact you about special offers from which you can benefit. We also use cookies to provide aggregate statistics on visitors to our websites and their browsing behaviour. However, Chelmsford Racecourse will never use this information to identify you personally or to market products and services to you without your consent.

Chelmsford Racecourse uses trusted data analytics service providers like Google Analytics, Adobe and Omniture to help us analyse the aggregate website visitor statistics collected from our site cookies. Chelmsford Racecourse may also set third party cookies while you are browsing the site and use the data collected for the same analytical purpose. Chelmsford Racecrouse sets out strict conditions for the processing of any cookie information by any third party and remains in control of this information at all times.

You can set your browser to accept or reject all (or certain) ‘cookies’. You can also set your browser to alert you each time a ‘cookie’ is presented to your computer. You can delete ‘cookies’ that have been stored on your computer but remember, if you prevent us from placing ‘cookies’ on your computer during your visit or you subsequently delete a ‘cookie’ that has been placed, it will not be possible for you to use this website effectively. The system relies on the ‘cookie’ to identify you as the user.

Please be assured that Chelmsford Racecourse. does not use ‘cookies’ to retrieve personal information about you from your computer. We will only gain such information if you have knowingly and willingly provided such information to us.
