What are cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of information stored on your computer by us which enables us to recognise your computer when you access the chameleoni.com web site and also provides you with an expedient means of access. Cookies also protect the reliability of recorded user names and passwords and limit access to services which are ‘paid for’. Further general information on cookies can be found at aboutcookies.org.

How are they used?

Cookies enable us and our partner organisations to identify your device when you access our website. The information they contain can then be used to:

  • Personalise the website by storing the preferences a user selects for the site;
  • Store information as part of the function of the website, such as shopping basket contents;
  • Restrict access to registered user’s data and limit access to "paid for" services;
  • Collect aggregated statistical information about the use of the website.

What information do they contain?

There is no personally identifiable information held in our cookies or the cookies used by our partner organisations. In some cases they can contain information about what you have done on our website, for example whether you have pressed a particular button or viewed a particular page. There are a few instances where we need to record more detailed information in the cookie, for example the cookie we use to indicate that you are logged into our website. In this case we store your unique identifier and time that you logged in. In such cases the contents of the cookie are encrypted, meaning that only our website can read that information.

How do I control cookies?

Not allowing cookies means that certain features of our website will not work and accordingly you might not be able to take full advantage of all of our services. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.
