Our websites and mobile apps (the "Online Services") use cookies and other device identifying technologies (collectively referred to in this Cookies Policy as "cookies") to provide our Online Services, to understand how our Online Services are used and for advertising purposes, as explained in our Privacy Notice. You can read more about the types of cookies we use, why we use them and how you can exercise your cookies choices below.
What are cookies?
We use the term 'cookies' to refer to all technologies which store or access information stored on the device that you use to access the Online Services, such as your computer, tablet or mobile phone. Some cookies are necessary to ensure the smooth running of the service you are using and to enable you to login and authenticate where required. Others provide advertising, online analytics and performance information. Our control ensures these types of cookies are NOT dropped onto your device before you have exercised your right to accept or reject their use.
There are different types of cookies, for example:
- Cookies served directly by The British Land Group PLC ('first party cookies') and cookies served by third parties, for example by advertisers and data analytics companies ('third party cookies'); and
- Cookies which endure for different periods of time, including those that only last only as long as your browser is open (referred to as 'session cookies') and which are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are 'permanent cookies', meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. For example, they recognise your device when you open your browser and browse the internet again. How long they remain will depend on the cookie in question. For more information please refer to the column headed 'Duration' in the table below
How can you exercise your cookies choices?
British Land Website Cookie Control
Our cookie control provides you the ability to accept or reject the optional cookies that can be placed on your device. Strictly necessary cookies are not subject to the same control as these are required for the website to function in the required manner. The list of cookies used and the categories they fall into are available detailed in the paragraphs and associated tables below.
Website (Browser) Opt-Out:
Most browsers accept cookies by default. You may be able to change the settings to have your browser refuse certain cookies or notify you before accepting cookies. To do so, please follow the instructions provided by your browser which are usually located within the "Help", "Tools" or "Edit" facility. Some third parties also provide the ability to refuse their cookies directly by clicking on an opt-out link.
Mobile App Opt-Out
To limit interest-based advertising on your mobile device, you can review and adjust the settings provided by your device manufacturer, such as "Limit Ad Tracking" for iOS or "Opt-out of interest-based ads" for Android.
