How do we use cookies?

We use cookies in a range of ways to improve your experience on our website. There are generally four categories of cookies: “Strictly Necessary,” “Performance,” “Functionality,” and “Targeting.” Curo routinely uses all four categories of cookies on its website and facebook page:

You can find out more about each cookie category below:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential, as they enable you to move around the Service and use its features, such as accessing logged in or secure areas.
Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you have used the Service, for example, information related to the unique username you have provided, so that less strain is placed on our backend infrastructure. These cookies may also be used to allow us to know that you have logged in so that we can serve you fresher content than a user who has never logged in. We also use cookies to track aggregate Service usage and experiment with new features and changes on the Service. The information collected is used to improve how the Service works.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow us to remember how you’re logged in. The information these cookies collect may be anonymous, and they are not used to track your browsing activity on other sites or services.
Targeting Cookies: Our advertising partners or other third party partners may use these types of cookies to deliver advertising that is relevant to your interests. These cookies can remember that your device has visited a site or service, and may also be able to track your device’s browsing activity on other sites or services other than Curo Carers.

Third-party cookies are cookies that another party places on your device through our Service. Third-party cookies may be placed on your device by someone providing a service for Curo Carers Ltd, for example to help us understand how our service is being used. Third-party cookies may also be placed on your device by our business partners so that they can use them to advertise products and services to you elsewhere on the Internet.

Cookies and personal information

Cookies do not themselves contain personally identifiable information. However, we may link personal information that we store about you to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. We maintain a separate Privacy policy that sets out how we collect and handle your personal information.

Safari – choose Settings and then click the Privacy section. For 'Block cookies and other website data', choose 'Always'.

How do I delete cookies?

Just as for blocking cookies, most browsers let you delete the cookies that have already been stored.
