This website/mobile device or its third party tools use cookies, which are necessary to
its functioning and required to achieve the purposes illustrated in this cookie policy. By
closing the cookie warning banner, scrolling the page, or through the application,
clicking a link or continuing to browse otherwise, you agree to the use of cookies.
- What are cookies?
For modern website/mobile devices and mobile applications to work according to
visitor’s expectations, they need to collect certain basic information about visitors. To
do this, a site will create small text files, which are placed on visitor’s devices – these
files are known as cookies. Cookies are uniquely assigned to each visitor, and can only
be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to the visitor. Cookies
cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to a visitor’s device.
Cookies do various jobs which make the visitor’s experience of the internet much
smoother and more interactive. For instance, cookies are used to remember the visitor’s
preferences on sites they visit often, to remember language preference and to help
navigate between pages more efficiently. Much, though not all, of the data collected is
anonymous, though some of it is designed to detect browsing patterns and approximate
geographical location to improve the visitor experience. - How are cookies used on sooners.store?
Sooners Store places cookies to store and then retrieve small bits of information on
your computer or mobile device when you visit. This is to ensure that our content is
tailored to your specifications, thereby improving the visitor experience of the site.
Amongst other things, the cookies we use allow visitors to sign up to the site and let us
calculate (anonymously) how many visitors the website/application has.
We believe that the visitor experience of the website/application or usage of the mobile
device would be adversely affected if visitors opt out of the cookies we use. - What type of cookies are there, and which ones do we use?
Cookies can be categorized by how long they are stored and their function.
3.1 Cookies categorized by length of storage:
3.1.1 Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies remain on a visitor’s device for a set period of time specified in the
cookie. They are activated each time that the visitor visits the website/application that
created that particular cookie.
Examples of how we use persistent cookies:
Allowing visitors to sign up;
Calculating the number of site visitors;
Analytics and Location monitoring; and,
Facilitation of connection amongst users.
3.1.2 Session cookies
Session cookies are temporary. They allow website/mobile/application operators to link
the actions of a visitor during a browser session. A browser session starts when a visitor
opens a browser window and finishes when they close it. Once you close the browser,
all session cookies are deleted.
Examples of how we use session cookies:
To improve the usability of our site
To route the visitor to the most available web server
3.1.3 Cookies categorized according to function:
Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are essential to navigate around a website/mobile device
application and to use its features. Without them, visitors would not be able to use
basic services like registration. These cookies do not gather information about visitors
that could be used for marketing or remembering where a visitor has been on the
internet.
Examples of how Sooners Store uses ‘strictly necessary’ cookies include:
Allowing visitors to sign in to the website/application as a registered user, make
payments, and enter orders.
3.1.4 Performance cookies
Performance cookies collect anonymous data for statistical purposes on how visitors
use a website/application, they don’t contain personal information, and are used to
improve the visitor experience.
Examples of how Sooners Store uses performance cookies include:
Gathering data about visits to the website/mobile/application, including numbers
of visitors and visits, length of time spent on the site, pages clicked on or where
visitors have come from
Information supplied by performance cookies helps us understand how visitors
use the website/mobile /mobile ; for example, whether or not visitors have visited
before, what visitors looked at or clicked on and how they found us
Information supplied by performance cookies is used in (re) marketing activities.
3.1.5 Functionality cookies
Functionality cookies allow visitors to customize how a website/mobile /mobile looks for
them: they can remember usernames, language preferences, and regions.
Examples of how Sooners Store uses functionality cookies include:
Remembering the language choice of a visitor
Remembering the username for the login page.
3.2 How can visitors control cookies?
Visitors must be aware that any preferences will be lost if cookies are deleted, and
many website/mobile s will not work properly, or functionality will be lost. Sooners Store
therefore does not recommend turning cookies off when using
Elementhealthsupply.com.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but visitors can alter the settings of their
browser to erase cookies or to prevent automatic acceptance. Browsers generally
provide the option to see the cookies currently stored and to accept, reject, or delete
cookies, block third party cookies, block cookies from particular sites, accept all cookies
and subscribe to a notification when a cookie is issued. A visit to the ‘options’ or
‘preferences’ menu on their browser will allow visitors to change settings. The browser
“Help” section usually provides detailed information on how this is accomplished.
- Managing performance cookies
It is possible to opt out of having your anonymized browsing activity within
website/application recorded by performance cookies. Visitors can prevent their data
from being used by installing a Browser Add-on that blocks the functionality.
Sooners Store uses the following tools for recording performance cookies:
Google Analytics
Google Adwords (DoubleClick)
Facebook Pixel
Hotjar
Don’t forget that by not allowing performance cookies, this stops us from being able to
learn what people like or don’t like about our website/application so that we can make it
better. - Visitor consent
By continuing to use the website/mobile, you agree to the placement of cookies on your
device. If you choose not to receive our cookies, we cannot guarantee that your
experience will be as fulfilling as it would otherwise be.
