Purposes for which we use information we automatically collect from you

When you visit the WIRL websites, we may automatically collect information such as your IP address and browser type using cookies, log files, and pixel-tags (also called web beacons). This automatic data is primarily used for delivering and optimising services offered by us, such as:

  1.  authenticating your identity and confirming whether you are currently logged in as you move through the Website. Your browser allows us to place some information (e.g., session based IDs and/or persistent cookies) on your computer’s hard drive that identifies the computer you are using;
  2. tracking your usage across our WIRL Websites in order to provide you with relevant, personalised content;
  3. improving our services, whereby we may occasionally display different versions of content to you and measure your usage of our web site pages.

To the extent this information constitutes Personal Data, we use it to ensure that content from the WIRL Websites is presented in the most effective manner for you and your device because it is in our legitimate interest to improve our customers’ online experience in relation to the WIRL websites.

Cookies
Cookies are small data files which are placed on your browser and the hard drive of your computer, mobile or other handheld device as you browse the WIRL Websites. We use cookies to store information about your visit to the WIRL Websites and distinguish you from other users.

The use of cookies helps us to provide you with a good browsing experience when you visit our websites by displaying content effectively and obtaining and analysing statistics about the use of our websites. By continuing to use the WIRL websites you consent to our use of cookies as explained in this Privacy Policy.

The use of cookies allows us to automatically remember your preferences. It also allows you to participate in interactive features on the WIRL websites, when you choose to do so. Our technology works by remembering your engagement with the site and how the site interacts with you. This may include automatically providing with a custom website experience based off your interactions with the site.

The following information sets out the types of cookies used on the WIRL websites and provides detail about what they are used for. When you use the WIRL websites for the first time, cookies which are essential to make the WIRL websites operate (see those identified as “essential cookies” below) will have been set but other cookies will not have been set unless you agreed to those cookies being set at that time. If you have agreed to accept cookies then the WIRL websites will remember this and continue to set cookies each time you visit. If you do not want cookies to be stored, then you may, via your browser, turn off certain cookies listed below individually or you can select the appropriate options on your web browser to delete some or all cookies. Please note, however, that if you block some or all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to use or access all or parts of the WIRL websites, such as being able to log on to member specific areas.

What type of cookies do we use? 
We use a number of different cookies, outlined below:

Session-based cookies:

  • These cookies store temporary information essential to the site in order to display its content and are usually deleted when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies:

  • These cookies are stored in your browser for a set amount of time and stay on your computer after you close your browser. They usually contain information you may want to keep from session to session (e.g. your location or username).

First party cookies:

  • These are ‘our’ cookies – the ones that we set up on your device and allows us to recognise you when you return to the website. It also helps keep track of your activity as you move page by page through our website and enables us to personalise our content and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

Third party cookies:

  • Other websites or servers set these cookies up on our behalf, or allow us to access their cookies for activities such as tailored advertising, or tracking our ads’ performance on other websites.

These cookies serve a function of:

Authentication, Security, Basic Functionality

  • Sometimes called “essential cookies”, these cookies are needed for our websites to work properly. Without these cookies, core site services, such as accessing secure areas, can’t be provided. Some of these cookies even help us to detect fraud and keep the sites secure. These cookies don’t gather information about you and are not used for marketing or remember where you’ve been online.

Site Performance

  • These cookies collect information about how our sites are performing. For example, they tell us which content is popular, which pages create errors, or how people are moving around our sites. The information they collect is anonymous, and is used to help us improve how the websites works.

Preferences

  • These functional cookies are all about the choices you make both on our sites and our advertising partners’ sites. They store information about your choices (such as your user name, language or the region you’re in) and tailor your internet experience to provide relevant features and content for you, such as localised information or news. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you’ve made to text size, font and other customisable content.
  • Without these cookies, our website won’t remember any choices you’ve previously made, or personalise your browsing experience.

Advertising, Marketing and Analytics

  • These cookies help us tailor our marketing information online. They do things like limit the number of times you see an ad, as well as help us to measure the performance of our advertising – if you don’t like what you see, we want to know it. On the other hand, if you are interested in a particular topic, we want to help you get the best information we have.
  • These cookies help us deliver ads that are more relevant both on our sites and our advertising partners’ sites. They remember that you have visited a particular website, and this information may be shared between us and other organisations, such as advertising partners. They also help us get a better understanding of you, your needs, your behaviours and how you interact with us so we can engage in product and service research, development and business strategy.
  • If you would like to disable cookies, you can set your web browser to reject cookies. However, if you disable the cookie function, you may not be able to access or receive all the information contained on the WIRL websites. How to alter your cookie setting will depend on the type of browser you use. We have provided examples of how to disable cookies on the most popular browsers below:

Microsoft Internet Explorer
• choose the “tools” menu then “Internet Options”;
• click on the “privacy” tab; and
• select the appropriate setting.

Mozilla Firefox:
• choose the “tools” menu then “Options”;
• click on the “privacy” menu then “Options”;
• click on the “privacy” icon; and
• find the “cookie” menu and select the relevant options.

Please note that Google and other third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies as a result of you visiting other websites, over which we have no control.

Retention and deletion of data

We retain your Personal Information for as long as is needed for us to fulfil our obligations to you, for example to provide goods or services, or to provide marketing messages while you are subscribed. We may also need to store your Personal Information to comply with any tax or legislative requirements.

If you wish to delete your WIRL app account information you can do so in your profile settings under ‘My Details’ and follow the prompts. Please note this is not cancelling your subscription, you will need to cancel your subscription before you delete your account in order for payments to stop processing. Deleting your account is irreversible and means that you will no longer be able to access any of your data, history, stats, favourites and more. It also means you will no longer receive any further communications from us.

When you unsubscribe from our marketing communications, we will no longer contact you with marketing messages. However, this will not remove your Personal Information from our systems. If you would like for us to completely remove your Personal Information, you can email hello@wirl.app at any time.
