What are cookies? Cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer or mobile device when you visit them.

• First-party cookies are cookies set by the website you're visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, a website could use external services, which also set their cookies, known as third-party cookies.
• Persistent cookies are cookies saved on your computer that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser.

You will be prompted to accept or refuse cookies whenever you visit the BIG BEAR SOUND website. Cookies enable the site to remember your preferences, so you don't have to re-enter them when browsing the site during the same visit. Cookies can also be used to establish anonymised statistics about the browsing experience on our sites.

How do we use cookies?

The types of cookies generated as you browse our site include session cookies and analytics cookies.

Session Cookies

Session Cookies are only temporarily stored in the browser's memory and are destroyed when closed down, although they will survive navigating away from the website they came from. For the site to function properly, various pieces of information need to be stored as you move through it. We use Shopify to ensure our site functions and is delivered to you as quickly as possible.

How do I control session cookies?

You can use your browser settings to control whether or not we set session cookies. More information on your browser settings is provided at the bottom of this page.

Please be aware that cookies are critical to the efficient operation of the BIG BEAR SOUND website. If you choose to disable cookies, the site's functionality may be reduced.

Analytics Cookies

We collect data about page visits to monitor how our sites perform. This information is completely anonymous—we cannot determine who provided it. When we use this data, we look at the number of visitors overall rather than individual visits.

Analytics information is used in reports and to improve our site. For example, we have used analytics data to add, remove, or change site features based on their popularity with users.

For example, we track:

• The number of visitors to individual pages
• When pages were visited
• How long do users stay on the page
• The page they came from
• The IP address of the user of the website
• Technical data about the computer or device being used to browse the site (such as the browser and operating system version and display size). We use this data to ensure that our site uses appropriate technology.

More information about analytics cookies

We use cookies from different partners, including Google, to provide our analytics data. On their website, you can read more about how Google Analytics treats your data and their privacy policy. 

How do I control analytics cookies?

Google provides a tool to opt out of Google Analytics. This tool is available on all browsers as a browser plugin. In addition, you can control how cookies are set using browser settings.

How do I remove cookies from my device?

You can delete all cookies on your device by clearing your browser's cache. This will remove all cookies from all the websites you have visited.

You may also lose some saved information (e.g. saved login details and site preferences).

Blocking cookies

Modern browsers can be set to prevent cookies from being placed on your device, but you may then have to adjust preferences each time you visit a website. Also, some functionalities and services, such as logging in, may not work properly. Check your preferred browser's privacy and cookie settings for detailed control over site-specific cookies.
