Introduction

By accessing and using our websites or other services, you are agreeing to the terms of this policy and our privacy notice.

We may update this cookie policy from time to time and will post any changes on our website at www.extreme.com.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files of letters and numbers. These files are either stored in the memory of your computer or other device such as mobile phones or tablet devices (these cookies are generally known as session cookies) or are placed on the hard drive of your device (generally known as persistent cookies).

Cookies are created when you visit a website or other service that uses cookies. Cookies are commonly used to help the user’s browsing experience and provide more information about the user’s experience and interests. This information is generally used to make content, services and advertising more relevant and useful during future visits.

For more details about cookies and details of how to delete and disable cookies you can visit www.aboutcookies.org and see our section on more information and turning cookies off below.

How does EXTREME use cookies?

We use cookies on our websites and other services (including www.extreme.com) to distinguish you from other users, provide some of the functionality of our services, analyse user interaction and control the serving of advertising. More details can be found in the EXTREME Cookies section below. Generally, we use two types of cookies; functional and analytical.

We use functional cookies to help provide our services, so for example:

• to allow you to access your stored information if you have registered with us;
• by recognising your preferences when you return to our services;
• by enabling us to serve the appropriate regionalised service relevant to your location; or
• by limiting the number of times that any adverts which you view on our services are repeated within a short space of time.

We use analytical cookies to review and analyse user interactivity with our services, including in relation to content and advertising. For example, we may use analytical cookies to:

• recognise and to count the number of visitors to our services;
• to see how you and other users move around within our services and to record which content viewers view; or determine when advertising has been served and to which users.

This information helps us to improve our services and may help us provide you with recommendations or more relevant or targeted advertising.

When do you issue cookies?

Unless you have adjusted your browser settings (where possible) to limit the use of cookies, our systems will issue cookies as soon as you visit our websites or access other services. If you have limited cookie use, then please be aware that some of the functionality of our services may not be available to you.

Please note that not all of the cookies on our sites are set by us. Please see the list of third party cookies below for more information about third party cookies.

What cookies does EXTREME use?

A list of EXTREME and third party cookies that we use is included below. We may also use additional cookies for particular services, for example in our programme apps. Further details of these additional cookies can be found by visiting the service in question. For example, further details of any additional cookies used in a programme app can usually be found in the terms and conditions information for that particular app.

When do our cookies expire?

Most of the cookies on our websites expire at the end of your current session on our website. However, some of our cookies have an extended lifespan. Some of our cookies are persistent and will never expire, including Flash cookies.

Google / YouTube cookies

Google uses different types of cookies to run Google websites and ads-related products.

Google also uses cookies to manage your preferences. These cookies allow a site to remember things that change the way a site behaves or looks, such as remembering your region and preferred language. Another reason Google uses cookies is for advertising purposes. These cookies help make advertising more engaging to users and more valuable to publishers and advertisers. For example, Google Ads cookies can be used to select advertising based on what’s relevant to a user, to improve reporting on campaign performance, and to avoid showing ads a user has already seen.
