2. How do we use cookies?
We use cookies for a range of tasks. These include allowing you to browse between pages effectively, recording and storing your preferences and generally improving your online experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you.
If you visit our website, we may deploy these technologies to provide an online service more suited to the device you visit on.

3. What type of cookies do we use?
3.1 First party cookies and third party cookies
First party cookies are cookies set by the website you’re visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, a website might potentially use external services, which also set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies. Third-party services are outside of the control of Mood Media. Providers may, at any time, change their terms of service, purpose and use of cookies, etc.
3.2 Session cookies vs. persistent cookies
Some of the cookies are ‘session cookies’, which remain only for the duration of your browser session and are deleted when you exit your web browser. Session cookies only last as long as your online session. This means that they will disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser. They are therefore also sometimes referred to as temporary cookies. Others are ‘persistent cookies’, which remain on your device or computer for a period of time after you have exited your web browser. These cookies are sometimes called permanent cookies.
More specifically, we use the below-mentioned cookies for the following purposes:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies
