What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small data file sent by a website to your computer, tablet, smartphone, or similar device each time you use a device to visit a website. Website owners widely use cookies to make their websites work or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies allow our system to recognize your device the next time you visit our website, which helps us to give you a better experience when you browse our website and allows us to improve our site. Cookies can store user settings and other information (e.g., your browsing data), making your online experience more accessible.
Who stores cookies on your device?
Any cookies sent by Bishop McCann as the site operator and stored on your device are designated “first-party cookies.” Other parties may place some cookies; these are then designated “third-party cookies.” First-party cookies are those cookies that are associated with the hostname. Third-party cookies are cookies from other domains. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, video, analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer when you visit the website in question and when you visit certain other websites. Suppose, for example, you visit our website, and we also display content from another website. The cookies from our website are first-party cookies, and cookies uploaded by another website are third-party cookies. We use third-party cookies to enhance the performance and functionality of our website, report usage statistics, and track user activities on our website. We use these cookies to ensure that our website functions seamlessly and better caters to your preferences.
We use third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Website, offer relevant advertising, and enhance our users’ experience based on their interests.
