Our site uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our site, as well as allowing us to improve our site.
All sites which operate across the European Union are required to obtain consent using or storing cookies (or similar technologies) on your computer or mobile device. This cookie policy provides you with information about the cookies we use, and the purposes for using them.
This cookie policy is part of Friends of Breathe’s full privacy policy, and covers the use of cookies between your device(s) and our site.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer. In general, cookies are used to enable certain features (such as logging in), to track site usage (such as analytics), to store your user settings (such as timezone, notification preferences), and to personalise your content (such as advertising, language).
Unless you have adjusted your browser settings so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies as soon as you visit our site.
Types of cookies
· First-party cookies: whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the domain placing the cookie. First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time (e.g. cookies placed by this website).
· Third-party cookies: are cookies that are set by a domain other than that of the site being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that site this would be a third-party cookie.
· Persistent cookies: these cookies remain on a user’s device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.
· Session cookies: these cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.

These settings are usually found in the ‘options’ or ‘preferences’ menu of your internet browser. If you do so, particularly with essential cookies, we may be unable to provide you with some of your desired content and services.
If you browse websites from multiple devices, you may need to update your settings on each individual device.
