What are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Surplex UK Limited) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for analytics and other purposes.

The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described below:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services like secure logins or shopping carts cannot be provided.
  • Performance and Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our website but are non-essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like remembering your preferences) may become unavailable.
  • Analytics and Customisation Cookies: These cookies collect information used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customise our website for you. This includes tools like Google Analytics to understand website traffic and user behaviour.
