We use cookies and other identification technologies on our website for a number of purposes, determining the popularity of content, delivering and measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, analysing site traffic and trends, and generally understanding the online behaviours and interests of people who interact with our website. You can read more here about the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can exercise your choices.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device by websites, apps, online media, and advertisements. There are different types of cookies. Cookies served by the entity that operates the domain you are visiting are called “first party cookies.” So cookies served by Wessex Tubas while you are on wessex-tubas.com are first party cookies. Cookies served by companies that are not operating the domain you’re visiting are called “third party cookies.” So, we may allow Google to set a cookie on your browser while you visit wessex-tubas.com, and that would be a third party cookie. Cookies may also endure for different periods of time. “Session Cookies” only last only as long as your browser is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are “persistent cookies” meaning that they survive after your browser is closed.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Strictly necessary: These are cookies that are required for the operation of Our Site. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of Our Site, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.
Localisation: These help provide a localised experience. For example, we may store information in a cookie that is placed on your browser or device so you will see the site in your preferred language.
Site features and services: These provide functionality that help us deliver content. For example, cookies help you submit a contact form by pre-filling fields. We may also use cookies and similar technologies to help us provide you and others with social plugins for sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Google.
Analytics and research: These are used to understand, improve, and research content, including when you access the Wessex Tubas website from a computer or mobile device. We may use these technologies and the information we receive to improve and understand how you use the website. Cookies and pixels are used to deliver relevant ads, track ad campaign performance and efficiency. For example, we and our ad partners may rely on information gleaned through these cookies to serve you ads that may be interesting to you on other websites. Similarly, our partners may use a cookie, attribution service or another similar technology to determine whether we’ve served an ad and how it performed or provide us with information about how you interact with them.
