Cookie Policy
We use the term "cookies" to refer to cookies and other similar technologies covered by the EU ePrivacy Directive.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small files stored on your computer or internet-enabled device via your browser. The cookie allows the website to "remember" your actions or preferences over time.
Most internet browsers support cookies; however, users can set their browsers to reject certain types of cookies or specific cookies. Additionally, users can delete cookies at any time.
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies to learn about how you interact with our content and to enable us to improve your experience when visiting our website(s). For example, cookies remember your language or preferences, which remain saved as default settings on a subsequent visit to one of our websites. We also use cookies to assist with geolocation tracking to show you the nearest Shell service station and branch. Furthermore, cookies allow us to offer you certain content, such as videos on our website(s). We may use insights into your behavior on our website(s) to send you targeted advertising on third-party websites in an effort to "re-market" our products and services to you.
What types of cookies do we use?
First-party and third-party cookies
We use both first-party and third-party cookies on our website.
First-party cookies are cookies issued by the domain sonnen.pro, which are typically used to determine language and location preferences or for basic site functionality.
Third-party cookies belong to and are operated by other parties, such as Shell's business partners or service providers. These cookies may be required to submit certain forms, such as applications, or to enable advertising outside the Shell website.
Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies used during your visit to the website to remember you, and they expire when you close your web browser.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences on the website and remain on your desktop or internet-enabled device even after you have closed your browser or restarted your computer. We use these cookies to analyze user behavior, to identify visiting patterns, so that we can improve our website functionality for you and others who visit our website(s). These cookies also enable us to deliver targeted advertising to you and measure the effectiveness of our site functionality and advertising.
How are cookies used for advertising purposes?
Cookies and advertising technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and anonymous ad network tags help us deliver relevant ads to you more effectively. They also help us collect aggregated audit data, research, and performance reporting for advertisers. Pixels allow us to understand and improve the delivery of ads to you and to know when certain ads have been shown to you. Since your web browser can request ads and web beacons directly from ad network servers, these networks can view, edit, or set their own cookies as if you had requested a web page from their site.
Although we create a profile of your browsing behavior on third-party websites, we use aggregated data from third parties to show you relevant, interest-based advertising. We do not share any personal information we collect with advertisers. By adjusting your cookie settings, you can opt out of off-site and third-party informed advertising. By opting out, advertising will not be removed from the pages you visit; however, you will instead encounter ads that are not tailored to your interests. This means that the ad(s) you see will not be tailored to your interests by these specific cookies.
How are third-party cookies used?
For some of the features on our websites, we use third-party providers, for example, when you visit a page with videos embedded from or linked to YouTube. These videos or links (and other third-party content) may contain third-party cookies, and it is advisable to read the privacy policies of these third-party websites to obtain information about their use of cookies.
How can I reject and delete cookies?
You can choose to reject or block all or certain types of cookies set during your visit by clicking on the cookie settings on our website(s). You can change your settings for sonnen websites and/or third-party websites by modifying your browser settings. Please note that most browsers automatically accept cookies. If you do not want cookies to be used, you may need to actively delete or block them. After rejecting the use of cookies, you will be able to visit our websites, but some functions may not work correctly. Further details on deleting and rejecting cookies and general information about cookies can also be found at www.aboutcookies.org. By using our website without deleting or rejecting some or all cookies, you agree that we may place those cookies on your device that you have not deleted or rejected.
