Our Cookies Policy
This section is about what cookies and other tracking technologies are, how we use them and how you can manage them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. The cookies mean that the website will remember you and how you've used the site every time you come back.
What are other similar tracking technologies?
This refers to any other method used to store information, gain access to information, or track activities on your device, such as Local Shared Objects (“flash cookies”), scripts, tracking pixels and plugins, app trackers (including SDKs) on smartphones, tablets, smart TVs or other devices.
How we use cookies/tracking technologies
We use cookies and other tracking technologies to do a number of things. For example, remembering your preferences, recording what you've put in your shopping basket, or counting the number of people looking at a website. We also use them to keep track of what you've bought from us, what you've done on the site, and to make advertising more relevant to you.
Cookies have a unique alphanumeric identifier that sits on your browser. In many cases, we won’t be able to link the information we collect by using a cookie back to you. They can, however, enable us to link that information back to you and your personal information, for instance, when you log in, or choose to register for a service, white paper or newsletter. For example, we may use web analytics to determine which ISP your IP address uses for browsing which can then be used to personalise the communications you receive from us (if you are opted into receiving personalised communications). For further information on how we use your information please see our Privacy Policy.
We have put our cookies into the following categories, to make it easier for you to understand why we need them:
1. Strictly necessary – these are used to help make our website work efficiently.
2. Performance/analytics – these are used to analyse the way our website works and how we can improve it.
3. Functionality – these help to enhance your experience by doing things like remembering products you've added to your basket.
4. Targeting/advertising – these are used to share some information with third parties who we advertise with, so we know how you've reached our website and to be able to reconcile at an aggregate level with our affiliate partners. We can also use cookies to identify the parts of the website that you are interested in. We then use this information to show you adverts and pages we think may also be of interest to you, to tailor how we communicate with you, or to tailor the contents of the communications we send to you. If you prefer, you can manage your cookies on our website. Tailoring of content means it includes information reflecting the interest you’ve shown in the content of our web pages, or offers or promotions that we think may interest you, and to improve how we respond to your needs.
In addition to the cookies we use on our websites, we also use cookies and similar tracking technologies in some emails and push notifications we send to mobile devices from our apps. These help us to understand whether you have opened the email and how you have interacted with it. If you have enabled images, cookies may be set on your computer or mobile device. Cookies will also be set if you click on any link within the email.
We sometimes use persistent cookies as well as 'session-based' cookies. A 'persistent' cookie will remain for a period of time set for that cookie. A 'session-based' cookie is allocated only for the duration of your visit to our website and automatically expires when you close down your browser.
Please also note that some cookies may be set by your browser, for example when you browse using Google Chrome. We don’t control the use of browser cookies, so we suggest you check the browser’s cookie policy to understand how those are used and how you can manage them.
First-party cookies
First-party cookies originate from the same domain as the website you’re currently visiting (in this case, vodafone.al).
See our list of first-party cookies (shown later on in this cookies policy).
Third party cookies
Third-party cookies originate from a domain that’s different to the website being visited. For example, when you visit our website, we may link to another company's website – like our Facebook account, or a video from our YouTube page. We don't control how they use their cookies, so we suggest you check their website to see how they're using them and how you can manage them.
Affiliates of the Vodafone Group with a different domain name may also place cookies on our website, to show you adverts or pages of other Vodafone Group companies that may be of interest to you. Details of these affiliates – and how to opt out – are included in our list of third parties (shown later on in this cookies policy) that may put cookies on our website.
Controlling your cookies
You can manage your cookie preferences, including to opt-out of each cookie category (except strictly necessary cookies) by clicking here : “Manage Cookies”
Please note that where we have visibility of your other devices through authentication / login, the most recent consent preferences provided by you, whether through the browser or device settings, will be reflected across your devices.
You can also control how you use cookies in your browser or your device settings.
Information on controlling and deleting cookies is also available at http://allaboutcookies.org

__utmc |
This is one of the four main cookies set by the Google Analytics service which enables website owners to track visitor behaviour and measure site performance. It is not used in most sites but is set to enable interoperability with the older version of Google Analytics code known as Urchin. In these older versions this was used in combination with the __utmb cookie to identify new sessions/visits for returning visitors. When used by Google Analytics this is always a Session cookie which is destroyed when the user closes their browser. Where it is seen as a Persistent cookie it is therefore likely to be a different technology setting the cookie. |
