Welcome to the asmokelessworld.com website (‘Website’), which is owned and operated by British American Tobacco (Investments) Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales, whose registered office is at Globe House, 4 Temple Place, London WC2R 2PG, United Kingdom (referred to in this notice as ‘we’,’us’ or ‘our’).
This Cookie Notice describes the cookies that are automatically set and others that you may choose to set when you visit our Website and the purposes for which we use them.
Our Website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our Website and also allows us to improve our Website.
Some cookies work by collecting and storing some form of personal information about you, so this notice also describes the personal information we process or allow others to access when using cookies.
For further information on how we use the personal information we collect about you (including information collected through our use of cookies) please see our ‘Privacy Notice’.
2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small data file that is placed on your device to allow a website to recognise you as a unique user when you use the website, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (a ‘persistent cookie’). Other similar files such as pixels and beacons work in the same way and we use the word ‘cookie’ in this Cookie Notice to refer to all technologies that collect information in this way. Cookies can also be used in emails you receive to help understand your level of engagement with them.
Cookies can be ‘first party’ (which are set by us) or ‘third party’ (which are placed on your device by another website when you use our Website).
Cookies are a common technology for remembering certain information about a visitor to a website. The vast majority of websites currently make use of cookies and they are commonly used for a wide range of tasks. We use the following types of cookies for the following purposes:
Browser cookies. We use cookies set via your web browser for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are necessary for our Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They include, for example, a cookie that is set for security reasons or to remember your cookie consent preferences. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of our Website will then cease to work.
- Functional cookies. These cookies enable our Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalised features. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
- Performance / Analytics cookies. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around our Website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated after it is collected. If you do not allow these cookies we will be unable to measure traffic to our Website and unable to monitor its performance.
Device data. We obtain data relating to your device, as described in our Privacy Notice, for the purposes set out in the How we use your information and our legal basis section in that notice.
3. CONSENTING TO THE USE OF COOKIES AND THE PERSONAL INFORMATION THEY COLLECT
Certain cookies we use are strictly necessary for our Website to work. For example, when you visit our Website for the first time, we present you with a cookie banner requesting your consent for non-essential cookies. We have to use a cookie to remember your cookie preferences in order to comply with the law.
When you first visit our Website, we automatically set essential cookies on your device that are strictly necessary for our Website to work. In relation to all other types of cookies we wish to use, you will be invited to consent to our use of them through our cookie banner. If you do not provide your consent using the cookie banner, we will not set these cookies on your device.
If you do not provide your consent, our Website will still work but some of the enhanced and personalised features may not.
If you provide your consent in respect of cookies, you will also be providing your consent for us and the relevant third parties to use those cookies. We will only set or read the relevant cookies for the durations set out in the table below. You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the cookie banner (accessible via the ‘Customize Settings’ icon at the bottom corner of this website) to turn off/opt-out of the relevant cookies.
