COOKIE POLICY
Shore Thing Real Estate Group
International laws require that, where a website uses cookies or equivalent technologies, the website operator must make certain disclosures in relation to the use of the cookies. Therefore, we use cookies on our website to help us to improve your experience of our website and to ensure that it performs as you expect it to.
The adoption of cookies is not a prerequisite for visiting the Site. Please accept our assurance that our use of cookies does not contain any personal or private details and are free from viruses. If you want to learn more about the general uses of cookies, including how to stop them being stored by your computer, please, go to http://www.allaboutcookies.org or to find out about removing them from your browser, go to http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html.
A cookie comprises a file bearing an identifier (a strand of alphabetic character* and numerals) that is stationed by a web server to a web browser and is stacked away by the browser. In other words, it is a text file containing small amounts of information, which a server downloads to your personal computer (PC), or mobile when you visit a website. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.
Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies. A persistent cookie will be stashed away by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiration date, unless erased by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.
Cookies do not normally contain any information that personally describes a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. It can be applied by web servers to distinguish and track users as they navigate different pages on a website and identify users returning to a website.
