JAGUAR LAND ROVER WEBSITE COOKIES POLICY

1. Benefit of cookies and information about this Policy


(a) What We Use: We use cookies and similar technologies for a range of purposes when you visit our websites, read, click or download information, and receive emailed information from us (e.g. brochures) in response to your requests, to deliver our website functionality and improve your experience. Depending on your use or interaction with our website, we will use cookies to promote optimal website experience, we will obtain some information via automated means from or about your device, and about how you use our website. We may also use pixel-tags and cookies that may transfer to the cookie file of your device, depending on the nature of your device. More information about these is set out below. This information helps us so we can improve our site for all our visitors and helps us make ongoing improvements so that the information on our pages can be updated and remains relevant and useful to you. This policy describes the categories of cookies used by us and our partners, what they are used for, and how you can change your preferences.

(b) Who We Are and what this policy covers: Jaguar Land Rover Limited is the company responsible for the Jaguar and Land Rover Global brand websites, located at www.jaguar.com and www.landrover.com and subdomains (“our Global brand websites”) as well as our Global brand Configurator websites, located at www.jaguar.com/build-yours/index.html and www.landrover.com/build-yours/index.html. It has its registered office at Abbey Road, Whitley, Coventry CV3 4LF, registered number: 1672070. It is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office under registration number ZA020510.

This policy explains the technologies that we may put in place to collect information about the use of our Global brand websites and our email communications. These types of technologies are used by almost every website and are contained in almost every commercial email communication sent via the Internet and are known as “cookies” and “web beacons”.

Please note, our corporate and InControl websites, and other country websites have their own policies relating to the use of cookies and web beacons available on these websites.

(c) What you can get from reading this policy: This policy aims to do two things:

a. Information: To provide you with more information to explain what cookies and web beacon technologies are, and to detail which types are used within scope of this cookies policy; and
b. Know how to set your preferences: To explain to you your choices, i.e. how you can control and manage the cookies being used when you visit this website. These choices will be visible to you at the start of your website journey, through clicking the choice in our cookies website banner “manage preferences”.


2. Information to help you better understand cookies, device data and similar technologies


(a) What is a cookie?

Short answer: A small amount of data, often including a unique identifier, that can be sent to your browser when you visit websites, and stored by your web browser on your device.

More detail shared: A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer's hard disk so that the website can remember who you are. Cookies can help a website to arrange content to match your preferred interests more quickly - most major websites use cookies. Cookies alone cannot be used to identify who you are. They can be used to identify when the same device has visited the website again and can place a randomly generated unique number against each website visit, to help us (or our partners) understand the web-page interactions made in that visit.

A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come; the "lifetime" of the cookie; and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.

When looking at the “lifetime” of a cookie, two types of cookies are used on this website:

When looking at the uses of a cookie, this website, like many others, uses both first and third party cookies. We explain each of these types below. First party cookies: Where cookies are stored by us for Jaguar Land Rover purposes, these are called “first party cookies”. Jaguar Land Rover uses a number of first party cookies, primarily for 4 purposes, which are explained in more detail below. The list of first party cookies is made available to you, both in the list below, and when clicking the “manage preferences” section of the cookie banner choices that should appear to you when our home page downloads first time. Third party cookies: Some cookies that are stored when you visit our website may be accessed by other companies. For example: Where a social network’s “like” or similar button is displayed on one of our websites, that social network may store and access its own cookies to provide the button’s functionality and for other purposes. (You should visit the privacy and cookies policy of that social network to understand more about their cookies from here). The main social networks we allow display of “like” buttons on our website are below, together with links to their privacy and cookies policies, as valid from the date of this Cookie Policy.
Type of Cookie: Explanation of this (short answer): More detail:
Session Cookies These are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser only until you leave the site. Session cookies are used to allow you to carry information across pages of our site and avoid having to re-enter information. They are also used within registration pages to allow you to access stored information.
Persistent Cookies These remain in the cookie file of your browser for longer. (How long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie). Persistent cookies are used to help us recognise a device as a unique visitor (using a number, you cannot be identified by personally) when the device returns again to our website. This allows us to tailor content or advertisements to match your preferred interests or to avoid showing you the same adverts repeatedly. We also compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how users use our site and to help us improve the structure of our website. With these compiled statistics, we cannot identify you personally in this way.

When looking at the uses of a cookie, this website, like many others, uses both first and third party cookies. We explain each of these types below. First party cookies: Where cookies are stored by us for Jaguar Land Rover purposes, these are called “first party cookies”. Jaguar Land Rover uses a number of first party cookies, primarily for 4 purposes, which are explained in more detail below. The list of first party cookies is made available to you, both in the list below, and when clicking the “manage preferences” section of the cookie banner choices that should appear to you when our home page downloads first time. Third party cookies: Some cookies that are stored when you visit our website may be accessed by other companies. For example:

  • Where a social network’s “like” or similar button is displayed on one of our websites, that social network may store and access its own cookies to provide the button’s functionality and for other purposes. (You should visit the privacy and cookies policy of that social network to understand more about their cookies from here). The main social networks we allow display of “like” buttons on our website are below, together with links to their privacy and cookies policies, as valid from the date of this Cookie Policy.

‑ Where we use an advertising partner, that advertising partner may store and access its own cookies [or pixel-tags?] in order that we and they can target adverts to you about Jaguar Land Rover products you have been browsing on our websites.

 

Cookie Purposes:

Cookies used on this website, like many other websites, are in the main placed to support 4 key purposes. Information about each of these is below.

Here's a list of the first party cookies we use, and what we use them for. You'll find information about 3rd party cookies on the next tab. First party cookies:
TYPE OF COOKIE PURPOSE: WHAT THIS MEANS:
Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are always on because they are necessary to make the Jaguar website work. These are cookies that are necessary to the operation of our sites, services, applications and tools. For example, these cookies:

- Identify irregular site behaviour, are designed to prevent fraudulent activity or improve security;


- Operate to remember the items you place in your ‘shopping basket’ when you use our website and services.


- Allow you to access secure areas of our websites without you having to continually log in to the website and services.


- Remember previous actions you have taken (such as completing an online form) when navigating back to a page in the same session

Performance Cookies

Performance cookies may collect information about how our websites, applications, advertisements and email communications are used and flag to us if an error occurs. These cookies may be used to collect technical information such as your last visited website, when you visited. the number of pages in our website you have visited, whether or not email communications you have received have been opened, which parts of the website or email communication have been clicked on and the length of time between clicks. This information may be associated with details such as your IP address, domain, device type or browser information, and used for analysis in aggregate with similar information from other users – but not used in a way that will directly identify you.

For example, these cookies may be used on our websites to:


- Analyse and improve the performance and relevance of our websites, advertisements and email communications;


- Manage websites performance and design;


- Improve the effectiveness of our advertising (and to reduce options that aren’t well liked or responded to in future advertisements) by calculating number and areas of responses;


- Measure errors on our websites to improve our service and manage complaints.

Functional Cookies

These cookies tell us how you use the site and can enable various helpful website [or application] features. For example, to:

- Remember preferences you have selected on a previous visit to the website, such as country/language, your interests and the presentation of the website (e.g. layout, font, size, colours etc) so you don’t have to tell us again each time you visit.


- Remember answers to questions our websites have asked you, such as not wishing to take part in a customer satisfaction survey, so your device is not asked to again.


- Detect if a service has already been offered to you, such as an offer of live online help


- Provide information to enable an optional service to function such as watching an online video or commenting on a blog.

Targeting or advertising Cookies

These types of cookies help to deliver advertisements and to contact you with marketing communications, where we have your permission to do so, that we identify to be more relevant to you and your interests. These cookies may collect information about your browsing habits across our websites (such as which products and services you have clicked on). They may also be used to recognise when you re-visit one of our websites, or a website that is part of one of our advertising partners’ network or one of our retailers.

For example, these cookies may be used on our websites to:


- Collect information about which Jaguar Land Rover products and services you have browsed or added to your shopping basket, so that:


- We can provide you with content, recommendations and adverts on our websites that based on this interaction, are more relevant to you.


- We can personalise and target more effectively in our permitted email and other direct marketing communications to you.


- Our advertising partners and retailers can provide you with adverts on their websites and/or websites in their advertising networks for Jaguar Land Rover products and services which, based on our website identified interactions, are more relevant for you.


- Limit the number of times you see an advert as well as to help measure the effectiveness of an advertising or marketing campaign.


We may also access referral cookies that are sent to your device by the websites of our business partners. These cookies are used to identify each time our business partners refer someone to our websites and whether that persons’ visit results in the purchase of a Jaguar Land Rover product or service. This information may be disclosed to our business partners, but only in an anonymous way that does not directly identify you.


Social media cookies are used when you share information using a social media sharing button or “like” button on our sites or apps, or when you engage with our content on or through a social site such as Facebook or Twitter.
