Adrenalist has security measures in place designed to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. Personal data collected by us is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public.

Cookie Policy

If you leave a comment on our Website you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Types and use of Cookies by the Website

The table below explains the cookies we may use and why.

Forms Authentication Cookies - The Forms Authentication Cookie is used to determine if a user is authenticated. Forms authentication uses an encrypted authentication ticket that is created when a user logs on to a site and then it tracks the user throughout the site.

Google Analytics Cookies - These cookies are used to collect information about how visitors use our Site. The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the Site, where visitors have come to the Site and the pages they visited.

Essential cookies - These cookies allow you to use the basic functionality of our website. For example, browsing our competitions and promotions and checking your account information.

Performance cookies - They allow us to get to know how you use our website. They are used to analyse visitor information such as usage, visitor numbers and help us see how effective our advertising is and to understand what you like. We also use this information to help improve our website, make our marketing more relevant and improve the user experience.

Functionality cookies - They allow us to provide additional functionalities to the website, and will retain some settings information. Whilst not essential for the functionality of our site, they do enable extra features that should improve your experience.

Targeting cookies - We also use cookies to track visitors’ interest in our services. We may use this to understand what most appeals to our users so we can make our offers as appropriate as possible. Browsing behaviour is also used to create relevant banner advertising with service recommendations. These banners are then served across other websites that you may visit, typically news sites, video sites and blogs. This process is called behavioural advertising and although the adverts are individually tailored to each visitor, all cookie data is anonymised and stored temporarily. Additionally, all banners of this type feature an “i” icon that provides more information from each advertising network and instructions on how to opt out.
