Cookies
These go great with coffee, but those arent the right cookies.
A cookie is a small data file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. The length of time a cookie will stay on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or session "cookie". Bunker Digital uses both types of cookies. Session cookies will only stay on your device until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies stay on your computer or mobile device until they expire or are deleted. We use the following types of cookies on our website:
Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for you to browse our website and use its features. Without these cookies, Services like shopping baskets cannot be provided.

How To Control Cookie Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may impair your overall user experience, as it will no longer be personalized to you. Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" ("DNT") signal where you can indicate your preference regarding tracking and cross-site tracking. Although we do not currently employ technology that recognizes DNT signals, we will only process your personal data in accordance with this Statement. Below you can learn about how to control cookie settings on popular web browsers:
In addition to cookies, we sometimes use small graphic images known as "pixels" (also known as web beacons, clear GIFs, or pixel tags). We use pixels in our email communications to you (if you have selected to receive such communications) to help us to understand whether our email communication has been viewed. We also use third-party pixels (such as those from Google, Facebook, and other advertising networks) to help us provide advertising that is relevant to your interests. Learn more about our advertising and marketing activities below.
Advertising And Modern Marketing Tools
We use several modern marketing tools in support of our advertising efforts.
Bunker Digital may work with third-party advertisers that use cookies and similar technologies to provide more relevant advertising about our Services on our websites and across the internet. To provide this "interest-based advertising", parties combine non-personal data about your online activities over time which helps cater advertising that we may deliver to you.
Examples of this may include a Bunker Digital advertisement on a Facebook page or a Google-owned page such as a search results page or YouTube, or on a site within Googles advertising network. We do not share your personal information as part of this process. Where necessary, we obtain your consent for this process. At all times, you can opt out of these personalized ads from third-party advertisers and ad networks that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or who follow the Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising and DAA websites. Opting out may make the ads you see across the Internet less relevant to you.
