About cookies
If you’re like us, you’ve probably not given too much thought to any cookie that can't be found in a biscuit tin, so here are the essential facts: digital cookies are small strings of data stored in your device's temporary memory when you navigate around our website. Unless you have indicated your objection, our system will issue cookies to your computer when you access, register on and log on to the SafetyToolbox website or use SafetyToolbox Online. Cookies make it easier for you to log on to and use these sites during visits.
Mainly, we use cookies to tell our website and app, “Do you remember that computer who visited last week? Well, it’s back!” That cookie information helps us understand traffic patterns on our website, helps us store any preferences or passwords that you’ve asked us to store.
How we use cookies
We use cookies for a number of things across the SafetyToolbox website and SafetyToolbox Online, including:
| What the cookie is used for | More Details | What type of cookie? |
|---|---|---|
| Logging you into SafetyToolbox Online | To log you into SafetyToolbox Online, we need to store a temporary cookie. This cookie will be automatically deleted after 60-minutes of inactivity, or after you log out. | First-Party |
| Auto-logging you into SafetyToolbox Online | By checking “Keep me logged in”, you can choose to store a permanent cookie that allows you to access SafetyToolbox Online without logging in each time. Be careful when you use this option, and only check this when you’re confident that your computer is secure. | First-Party |
| Customizing SafetyToolbox Online to you | While you use SafetyToolbox Online, we set a number of cookies that customize the experience for you - for example, when you choose to show 50 items per page, we’ll set a cookie to reflect that. | First-Party |
Note: A first-party cookie is created by SafetyToolbox, and a third-party cookie is created by one of SafetyToolbox’s suppliers or partners.
Personal information and cookies
The only personal information a cookie can contain is information that you supply yourself -- a cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Your privacy and security are not compromised when you accept a cookie from the SafetyToolbox website or SafetyToolbox Online. You may set up your computer to reject cookies by following the relevant instructions in the “managing your cookies” section. If you switch off cookies, you may not be able to use parts of our website or online application.
We sometimes use cookies to help personally identify you, but we do it in a secure way. Instead of storing personal data about you in a cookie, we store anonymous data on your computer, then combine that data on a secure server with any information that you’ve given us on the SafetyToolbox website. For example, if you sign up for our newsletter on the SafetyToolbox website, we’ll use this combined data to customise the newsletter with information that you’ll find most helpful.
