What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the website. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as language, font size, and other display preferences) during a given timeframe, so you don't have to keep re-adjusting them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
What are first-party cookies?
First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting and only that website can read them.
What are third-party cookies?
Third-party cookies are provided by other entities than the owner of the website you are visiting. Some Circle K webpages may also contain content from other sites like Youtube, Facebook, Google or other, which may set cookies of their own when you interact with their services through our website (e.g. when sharing a link to Circle K page, the service provider you share it on may place a cookie on your browser). How this collected data is used by third parties is dependent on the privacy policy of the legal entity, which is available on the appropriate parties’ website.
What are session cookies?
Session cookies are placed on your browser only as long as your online session lasts and disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser.
What are persistent cookies?
Persistent cookies stay on your computer or device after your browser has been closed, and remain within a given timeframe specified by the cookie provider. Circle K uses persistent cookies in cases when we need to know who you are, and to remember aspects of your previous visits to Circle K website to enhance your browsing experience (for example, your language preferences).

Functionality
The Circle K site is based on a collection of servers called "farm". Compared to the use of just one server, this solution provides a better and more stable functioning of the website. When you visit a site, the use of the cookie allows the system to decide how to deliver the page for you in the most reasonable way and distribute the workload evenly between the different servers.
Analytics
The Circle K site uses Google Analytics to measure site traffic. This data allows us to understand the behavior of our visitors on the page and helps us to improve our site. This software uses several cookies to help us know if visitors to the site have already visited it. If your computer has such cookies, your web browser will let us know about it; if you do not have one yet, then it will be offered to your web browser. This way, we can determine the number of individual users and how often they visit our page. These cookies are used for statistical purposes and it is not possible to identify individual users with them.
Marketing and advertising cookies
The Circle K site uses third-party tracking and advertising cookies like Youtube, Facebook, Google Analytics, DoubleClick, Adform, and others. Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a website other than the one you are currently on. For example, some Circle K pages might have a Facebook “like” button on the site. That “like” button will set a cookie in your browser that can be read by Facebook. That is considered a third-party cookie. How this collected data is used by third parties is dependent on the privacy policy of the legal entity, which is available on the appropriate parties’ website. Circle K encourages you to review the privacy policies of third parties as well.
Some third-party cookies, e.g Adform can also create cookies that assign unique numbers, which can identify and distinguish between user's browser, so that advertising metrics such as impressions can be tracked. This enables publishers to serve adverts targeted at a user's interests and having a greater chance of being relevant to the user.
