What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies enable the website to recognize your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions. This allows for a more personalized browsing experience and helps us improve our services.

Cookies can be categorized based on their duration and the entity that places them. Session cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them. Understanding how cookies function is essential for managing your privacy and ensuring a secure online experience.

At sheldgate.org, we are committed to transparency regarding our use of cookies and similar technologies. This Cookie Policy outlines the types of cookies we use, their purposes, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

Types of Cookies We Use

We utilize various types of cookies to enhance your experience on our website. These cookies can be classified into four main categories: essential cookies, analytics cookies, marketing cookies, and third-party cookies. Each category serves a distinct purpose and contributes to the overall functionality of our website.

Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly, while analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our site. Marketing cookies are used to deliver relevant advertisements to you, and third-party cookies are set by external services that appear on our pages. Below, we provide a detailed overview of each type of cookie we use.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors engage with our website by collecting information about their browsing behavior. These cookies allow us to analyze data such as the number of visitors, the pages they visit, and the time spent on each page.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They track your browsing habits across different websites and help us understand your preferences. This information allows us to create targeted advertising campaigns that resonate with our audience.

These cookies may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. While marketing cookies enhance your online experience, you have the option to manage your preferences and opt-out of targeted advertising through your browser settings or directly through the advertising networks.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are set by domains other than the one you are visiting. These cookies are typically used for tracking and advertising purposes. For instance, social media platforms may place cookies on our site to enable sharing features or to track user engagement with their content.
