IP Addresses & Cookies

This website utilises “cookie” based technologies to maximise your experience and provide the appropriate information for the audience group you belong to. These “cookies” will be delivered as you enter the website and are deposited on your computer or mobile device as you access this websites content. These are designed to be non-intrusive and support a greater user experience.

What Cookies do we utilise?

For the purpose of this website, we will use four cookie elements:

• a cookie to confirm user audience, to provide you access and to display the appropriate content for your audience category (named: Section);
• a cookie to confirm and store your non-essential cookie preference (named: CookiePreference);
• a cookie to store temporary information to enable site functionality (named: PHPSESSID); and 
• a standard Google Analytics cookie set. The information gathered via the use of cookies may be used to customize our offerings, to make information more readily accessible to you, and the website easier for you to use (named: _utma, _utmb, _utmc and _utmz).

What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a mechanism by which a small amount of data, often including a unique identifier is sent to your computer or mobile phone (referred to here as a "device") browser from a website's computer and is stored on your device's hard drive. Cookies are sent back only to the website servers that deposited them when a visitor returns to that site.

Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Many sites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.

How are we using these Cookies?

Cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor the websites to your interests.

Users have the opportunity to set their devices to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that user and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the website features. This may hamper your viewing experience and limit the amount of information displayed on screen.

Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

Changes to our Cookies & Privacy Statements

BAT and Aon Employee Benefits reserve the right to change this Cookies and Privacy Statement from time to time at our sole discretion. If we make any changes, we will post those changes here so that you can see what information we gather, how we might use that information and in what circumstances we may disclose it.
