COOKIE POLICY

 

This Policy explains how we use cookies, why, and how this allows us to improve our services. It also tells you how you can manage what cookies are stored on your device. We call it our Cookie Policy.

By using our websites (through any device) you agree that our Cookie Policy applies, in addition to any other terms and conditions which may apply.

Data we collect will be held by MagicToy Haven. We use this data to:

  • Protect you from fraud and keep improving security.
  • Study how people use our websites and apps and our other services, so we can improve them.
  • Decide which of our products, services and offers may be relevant for you.
  • Tailor the marketing you see on social media, apps, and other websites.

We reserve the right to make changes to our Cookie Policy. Any changes will appear here and become effective immediately. Your continued use of our websites is taken as meaning that you agree to such changes.

 

  1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to the device you use when you visit a website. These can then be read by that website on subsequent visits or by other websites that recognise that cookie. Cookies do lots of different and useful jobs, such as remembering your preferences and generally improving your online experience. There are different types of cookies. We have highlighted some of these differences below:

Session or Persistent Cookies

All cookies are either session or persistent cookies.

  • Session cookies last only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser. They facilitate tasks such as allowing a website to identify that a user of a particular device is navigating from page to page, supporting website security or basic functionality.

Our session cookies used for security are designed to be very difficult to read, change, access, or use, except by us. They contain no personal information that can be used to identify an individual.

  • Persistent cookies last after you have closed your browser and allow a website to remember your actions and preferences.

We use persistent cookies in a few ways, for example, to allow us to analyse customer visits to our site. These cookies help us to understand how users arrive at, and use, our site so we can improve our service. Sometimes persistent cookies are used by websites to provide targeted advertising based on the browsing history of the device.

First and Third-Party Cookies

  • First party cookies are those set by or on behalf of the MagicToy Haven website visited. These enable the website to run at an optimum level and enhance the user experience. They are also used to keep your preferences.
  • Third party cookies are those which are set up by external companies or vendors. These cookies are likely to be performance and targeting cookies, including analytics cookies to enable us to monitor and optimise the website.

 

  1. THE COOKIES WE SET
  • Account related cookies

If you create an account with us, then we will use cookies for the management of the signup process and general administration. These cookies will usually be deleted when you log out however in some cases, they may remain afterwards to remember your site preferences when logged out.

  • Login related cookies

We use cookies when you are logged in so that we can remember this fact. This prevents you from having to log in every single time you visit a new page. These cookies are typically removed or cleared when you log out to ensure that you can only access restricted features and areas when logged in.

  • Email newsletters related cookies.

This site offers newsletter or email subscription services and cookies may be used to remember if you are already registered and whether to show certain notifications which might only be valid to subscribed/unsubscribed users.

  • Forms related to cookies.

When you submit data through a form such as those found on contact pages or comment forms cookies may be set to remember your user details for future correspondence.

  • Site preferences cookies

In order to provide you with a great experience on this site we provide the functionality to set your preferences for how this site runs when you use it. In order to remember your preferences, we need to set cookies so that this information can be called whenever you interact with a page that is affected by your preferences.

 

  1. HOW DO WE USE COOKIES?

In order to access our website, we ask you to interact with our cookie banner to ensure that you provide consent to cookies we use by either accepting all cookies, rejecting all cookies or managing your preferences via the cookie settings. You cannot interact with the website until you have accepted, rejected, or personalised your cookie preferences. This change was made to comply with new ICO guidelines that require active user consent to cookies, avoiding the use of default settings as was previously the case. You can personalise which categories of cookies you wish to consent to through the ‘Privacy preference centre’ available by clicking ‘Cookie settings’:

Different types of cookies do different jobs, and some are needed to make the website work. We need your consent to use others that are not essential.

  1. MANAGING COOKIES IN YOUR BROWSER

You can turn off or delete cookies in your browser. If you do this, it may affect sites that use similar cookies to us.

Cookies choices you set in your browser replace any you set on a single website. For instance, if you run an ad blocker on your browser, you won't see ads that are tailored to you, even if you have turned on marketing cookies.
