This website “FSS.com” use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, and other web technologies such as CAPTCHA’s to improve the website’s performance, to enhance your browsing experience and to protect the website against spam robots. Certain areas of the website also use cookies to understand more about you, so we can offer you more personalized browsing experience. We use a simple counter, without storing any information on your device, to count the number of visitors who accept or decline our cookies.

You can find out more about cookies and how to manage them in the information below. You can change your cookie
settings and disable some or all cookies for the website at any time by clicking on the ‘Customize cookies’ button below. You can also change your browser settings so that cookies cannot be placed on your device.

If you have any questions in relation to the cookies we use please contact us.

What are web beacons?

FSS occasionally advertises on third-party web sites. As part of our effort to track the success of our advertising
campaigns, we may at times use a visitor identification technology such as “web beacons”, or “action tags”, which
count visitors who have come to the website after being exposed to an FSS banner ad on a third-party site. We do not use this technology to access your personal information, and it is only used to compile aggregated statistics about visitors who come to the website to gauge the effectiveness of our ads.

What is a cookie?

A “cookie” is a technology that allows the website to store tokens of information (an “identifier”) in your browser
used by the website while you are on the website. Cookies are then sent back to the website on each subsequent visit, or to another webpage that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are used in order to make the website work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website.

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences,
and generally improving the user experience. Cookies may tell us, for example, whether you have visited the website
before or whether you are a new visitor. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant
to you and your interests.

When landing on the website, you have been given the opportunity to accept cookies used on the website, to accept
certain categories of cookies and decline others, or to decline all cookies. If you have accepted our use of some or
all cookies, the following information relates to cookies used on the website only. Please note that any consent to
accept or to decline cookies is limited to the FSS.com website only.

There are two broad categories of cookies:

  • First party cookies, served directly by us to your device.
  • Third-party cookies, which are served by a third party on our behalf.

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are “session
cookies”, meaning that they exist only while your browser is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are “permanent cookies”, meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. They can be used by the website to recognize your computer when you open your browser and browse the Internet again.

What types of cookies do we use?

The website uses the cookies that perform four functions, as classified below:

  • Essential/strictly necessary cookies, which are essential to the functioning of the website;
  • Performance cookies, which help us measure the website’s performance and improve your experience. In using
    performance cookies we do not store any personal data, and only use the information collected through these
    cookies in aggregated and anonymised form;
  • Functional cookies, which allow us to enhance your experience (for example by remembering any settings you may have selected); and
  • Marketing/targeting cookies, which we use to track user activity and sessions so that we can deliver a more
    personalized service. Marketing cookies are set by third parties with whom we execute marketing campaigns and allow us to provide marketing relevant to you. If you identify yourself to us (e.g. filling out a form/signing
    up to receive email updates), FSS collects information about your response to our marketing communications and your activity on this website. This information is added to your personal marketing profile and score which is used to measure campaign effectiveness and to provide content and offer services that are relevant for you.

In addition, we also utilise cookies on certain pages of the website to communicate with third party data suppliers
in order to extrapolate your digital behaviour. This help us to understand and target more relevant advertising in the
future. The information we receive is all aggregated and anonymous, but will include statistics such as
demographics, online behaviour, product interests and lifestyle. Targeting and tracking cookies are provided via trusted third party suppliers. Should you require more information regarding our suppliers and how these cookies operate please contact us.
