Third party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you.

FLSNT respect your privacy and take great care to safeguard information in our possession. Your preferences with regard to how we use your information are our highest priority. Below you will find our Cookies Policy. It explains generally what cookies are, what cookies we use, and what we use them for.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies (or similar tracking technologies designed for mobile devices) are simple text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit certain web pages. A cookie records basic information about your visit, such as your user settings or what pages you have viewed. The website (and potentially other websites) can then recognise this information in the future and can use it to improve your overall experience, for example, by remembering your log-in details, preferences or even recommending certain content.
There Are Four Principle Types Of Cookie, Which Perform Different Functions. The Main Types Are:
1. Essential cookiesSome cookies are essential for the operation of a website, and without these cookies the website would not be able to perform certain necessary functions. An example of this is where a shopping website uses cookies to remember products placed into an online shopping basket. Without using these cookies, it would not be possible to shop online.
2. Performance cookiesPerformance cookies collect information about how a website is used in order to improve the website’s effectiveness. Also known as ‘analytical’ cookies, performance cookies track information such as, which parts of the website have been visited, what links have been clicked and if any errors have occurred. Performance cookies are commonly used to ensure that popular content is displayed more prominently on a website so that users can find the information that they are looking for more quickly.
3. Functionality cookiesAs the name suggests, ‘functionality’ cookies are used to deliver specific features or functions on a website. The most common use of functionality cookies is to remember preference settings, or to store log-in details. For example to save you the trouble of inputting your username every time you access a site.
4. Targeting cookies‘Targeting’ cookies may be placed by us, or by our advertisers, to store information about the webpages that you have viewed. This allows us and our advertisers to deliver adverts that are relevant to the content you are interested in. These adverts may be displayed on our website or on other sites that you visit.Targeting cookies are also used to operate ‘Like’ or ‘Share’ buttons, which users can click to let other people know that they have found a particular webpage useful or entertaining. Other sites (normally social networking sites) will then recognise these cookies and display your shared content to other users.
HOW LONG DO COOKIES LAST?
Cookies may stay on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time depending on what they are used for.
Many cookies will only last for the duration of a single visit and will be automatically deleted when the browser is closed down or the computer is turned off. These cookies are known as ‘session’ cookies. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into our website. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through our website.
Some cookies (known as ‘persistent’ cookies) do remain on your device between sessions and allow us to authenticate you and to remember your preferences. Persistent cookies will remain on your computer after you have closed the browser or turned off the computer. We use persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity and to display advertising on our website and on third party websites.
WHAT DO WE USE COOKIES FOR?
FLSNT does not store personally identifiable information such as credit card details in cookies we create, but we do use encrypted information gathered from them to help improve your experience of the FLSNT websites.
WE PRINCIPALLY USE COOKIES FOR:
-
