This Cookie Policy tells you how Silverstone Estates Limited (“Escapade Silverstone”, “we” or “us”) use cookies in connection with your use of the Escapade Silverstone website.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or smart phone by a website.  Each cookie is unique to your web browser.  It will contain some anonymous information such as a unique identifier and the site name and some digits and numbers.

Cookies can, for example:

  • Remember that you visited a website
  • Remember your preferences
  • Remember what is in your shopping basket
  • Collect usage information

Most websites you visit will use cookies in order to improve your user experience by enabling that website to ‘remember’ you. To learn more about cookies, including how to adjust your browser settings to reject cookies, visit www.aboutcookies.org.

For the purpose of this Cookie Policy, the term “cookies” also includes other forms of technology which serve a similar purpose to cookies which will allow us to monitor and improve our website.  For example, we use “web beacons” on our website.  Web beacons are electronic images that are used to deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage of the site, and to tell if an e-mail has been opened and acted upon.

WHAT DOES ESCAPADE SILVERSTONE USE COOKIES FOR?

Cookies enable us to provide content which is most likely to be of interest to you (for example, we recognise you as a returning visitor and can tailor your experience according to your preferences) monitor and improve the functionality and usage of the website and your experience (for example, we collect session and event based data to see which area and events are popular); and provide advertising of relevance to you both from Escapade Silverstone and our partners, in accordance with applicable laws. The cookies used on Escapade Silverstone Online Content may be categorised as follows:

“Strictly necessary” cookies: these are cookies that are essential for the operation of our Escapade Silverstone website. They enable users to move around the Escapade Silverstone website and to use its features, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas or use a shopping cart.  Without these cookies we are unable to provide the services you have asked for, such as viewing content or purchasing tickets.

“Functionality” cookies: these allow the Escapade Silverstone website to remember choices you make and your preferences, such as your user name and preferred settings, and provide enhanced and more personal features.  These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you customise.  The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

“Performance/Analytical” cookies: these cookies collect information about how visitors navigate the Escapade Silverstone website, for example, which pages users access most frequently and if they get error messages. They identify how users interact with the Escapade Silverstone website, any errors that occur, which pages are not visited often, which pages that longer to load, which pages users tend to visit and in what order.  All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous, and is only used to improve how the website works.

“Targeting/Advertising” cookies: these cookies are used to deliver adverts relevant to an identified machine or other device (not a named or otherwise identifiable person) which are tailored to interests associated with the website activity tied to that machine or device. For example, if a cookie on a third party website recognises that a particular product was purchased from a particular device, that cookie may “talk to” marketing cookies on the website to ensure advertisements about similar products displayed on the website are accessed from that device.

These cookies can also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign.

These cookies on our website are operated by third parties with our permission.  They are used to monitor from which advertising source a user was directed towards our website so that we know the value of investing in that advertising source.
