By using the It’s Lolly website, you consent to the processing of anonymous data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
As a business we use a number of Google services which enable us to understand you better which in turn means we deliver a more appropriate and relevant service to you. We may from time to time use remarketing tools within Google Analytics and implement the Google Display Network to advertise online which means third-party vendors, including Google, may show our adverts across the internet. We, and third-party vendors, including Google use first-party cookies (such as Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as DoubleClick cookie) together to report how your ad impression and other uses and interactions relate to visits on our site. We also utilise the Google Analytics Demographic and Interest reporting tool from which we may gather information such as age, gender and interests that are already held by Google to understand who is visiting our site and the best way to serve you relevant content. No personally identifiable information will be collected and all demographic information is anonymous.
These also include social media plug-ins which enable you to share our website content via your social media account(s) or easily share information with others. We have a presence on YouTube, LinkedIn and Twitter, and if you click on any of these icons on our website, you will be taken to our pages or profiles on those platforms. The platforms may then start tracking your behaviour using cookies for their own purposes; for example, to better understand your interests so that they can present relevant content or advertising to you. Data about you may also be transmitted to the social media channel even if you do not click on the plug-in. The social media platforms will provide us with statistical information, which we use to help understand how you and our other users interact with our social medial presence. All these platforms provide you with some control over their use of non-essential tracking technology and you can find details of how to exercise this control by reviewing their privacy and cookie notices. We have contractual arrangements in place with the social media channels we use. Please contact us for more information.

When the Hotjar script executes we try to determine the most generic cookie path we should use, instead of the page hostname. This is done so that cookies can be shared across subdomains (where applicable). To determine this, we try to store the _hjTLDTest cookie for different URL substring alternatives until it fails. After this check, the cookie is removed. |
