10.  Web browser cookies What is a Cookie? 

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer, tablet or mobile phone (all referred to here as a “device”) web browser from a website’s computer and is stored on your device’s hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your web browser if your browser’s preferences allow it. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows. Similar technologies are also often used within emails to understand whether the email has been read or if any links have been clicked. If you continue without changing your settings, we’ll assume that you are happy to receive all cookies on the KUA website. On KUA websites, cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor our websites to your interests. During the course of any visit to a KUA website, the pages you see, along with a cookie, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit. 

How does KUA use cookies?  

Information supplied by cookies can help us to understand the profile of our visitors and help us to provide you with a better user experience. It also helps us recognise when you are signed in to your KUA account and to provide a more personalised experience. For example, if on a previous visit you went to our holiday course pages, we might find this out from your cookie and highlight educational information on your second and subsequent visits. KUA uses this type of information to help improve the services it provides to its users.  Detailed step by step guidance on how to control and delete cookies is also available from www.aboutcookies.org. If you have any concerns about the way that we use cookies or respect your settings, then please contact us at kickupssportsacadey@hotmail.com
