This is the Cookie Notice for www.lenaleawindfarm.com. It applies to information collected and used by SSE Renewables which is a trading name of the SSE Group. When we refer to ‘SSE’, ‘we’, ‘us’, and ‘our’, we mean any of those SSE entities, as appropriate. This information is collected through instruments known as Cookies and various other technologies, collectively referred to in this Cookie Notice as ‘Cookies’.
Please review this Cookie Notice and our Privacy Notice.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files transferred and stored by your web browser to your computer or mobile device when you visit or use a website. Cookies allow websites to recognise your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions.
Cookies can be considered as ‘first party’ or ‘third party’ Cookies depending on the domain that places them. First party Cookies are Cookies set by a website visited by the user (for example, Cookies placed by SSE for www.sse.com). Third party Cookies are set by a domain other than that of the website visited by the user, so if a user visits a website and a third-party organisation sets a Cookie through that website, this would be a third-party Cookie.
Cookies can also be considered as ‘persistent’ or ‘session’ Cookies depending on their duration. Persistent Cookies remain on a user’s device for the time specified in those Cookies. They are activated every time that user visits the website that created the Cookies, until the Cookies expire or are disabled by the user. Session Cookies allow the actions of a user to be linked during a single browsing session. A session starts when a user opens a browser window and ends when the browser window is closed, following which all session Cookies are deleted.
Why do we use Cookies?
We use Cookies and other similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activity and about the device you have used to access our website (including the make, model and operating system, IP address, browser type and mobile device identifiers) so we can provide essential features and functionality on our website:
