What are ‘cookies’?

‘Cookies’ are small text files that are stored by the browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome or Safari) on your computer or mobile phone. Your devices are able to read and write these files, allowing them to store things such as personalisation details or user preferences. Each web domain can only access cookies stored by that specific web domain, meaning that only Christie & Grey servers can access the cookies.

Anonymous analytics cookies:

Every time a user visits our websites, web analytics software provided by a third party generates an anonymous analytics cookie. These cookies can tell us whether or not you have visited the site before. Your browser will tell us if you have these cookies, and if you do not, we generate new ones. This allows us to track how many individual unique users we have, and how often they visit the site. These cookies can not be used to identify individuals; they are used for statistical purposes only. This allows us, for example, to tell which pages are the most visited at any one time.

Affiliate tracking cookies:

Sometimes we need to know whether or not you have come from one of our affiliates, and how long it is since you have visited the site from them. In order to do this, we place a cookie on your machine when you visit Christie & Grey from an affiliate partner.
