Cookie Policy Last Updated: 16th January 2025.
1. Benefit of cookies and information about this Policy
(a) What We Use: We use cookies and similar technologies for a range of purposes when you visit our websites, read, click or download information, and receive emailed information from us (e.g. brochures) in response to your requests, to deliver our website functionality and improve your experience. Depending on your use or interaction with our website, we will use cookies to promote optimal website experience, we will obtain some information via automated means from or about your device, and about how you use our website. We may also use pixel-tags and cookies that may transfer to the cookie file of your device, depending on the nature of your device. More information about these is set out below. This information helps us so we can improve our site for all our visitors and helps us make ongoing improvements so that the information on our pages can be updated and remains relevant and useful to you. This policy describes the categories of cookies used by us and our partners, what they are used for, and how you can change your preferences.
(b) Who We Are and what this policy covers: Jaguar Land Rover Limited is the company responsible for the Jaguar and Land Rover brand UK websites, located at www.jaguar.co.uk and www.landrover.co.uk and subdomains (“our UK brand websites”). It has its registered office at Abbey Road, Whitley, Coventry CV3 4LF, registered number: 1672070. It is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office under registration number ZA020510.
This policy explains the technologies that we may put in place to collect information about the use of our UK brand websites and our email communications. These types of technologies are used by almost every website and are contained in almost every commercial email communication sent via the Internet and are known as “cookies” and “web beacons”.
Please note, our corporate and InControl websites, and other country websites have their own policies relating to the use of cookies and web beacons available on these websites.
(c) What you can get from reading this policy: This policy aims to do two things:
a. Information: To provide you with more information to explain what cookies and web beacon technologies are, and to detail which types are used within scope of this cookies policy; and
b. Know how to set your preferences: To explain to you your choices, i.e. how you can control and manage the cookies being used when you visit this website. These choices will be visible to you at the start of your website journey, through clicking the choice in our cookies website banner “manage preferences”.
2. Information to help you better understand cookies, device data and similar technologies
(a) What is a cookie?
Short answer: A small amount of data, often including a unique identifier, that can be sent to your browser when you visit websites, and stored by your web browser on your device.
More detail shared: A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer's hard disk so that the website can remember who you are. Cookies can help a website to arrange content to match your preferred interests more quickly - most major websites use cookies. Cookies alone cannot be used to identify who you are. They can be used to identify when the same device has visited the website again and can place a randomly generated unique number against each website visit, to help us (or our partners) understand the web-page interactions made in that visit.
A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come; the "lifetime" of the cookie; and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.
When looking at the “lifetime” of a cookie, two types of cookies are used on this website:
| Type of Cookie: | Explanation of this (short answer): | More detail: |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | These are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser only until you leave the site. | Session cookies are used to allow you to carry information across pages of our site and avoid having to re-enter information. They are also used within registration pages to allow you to access stored information. |
| Persistent Cookies | These remain in the cookie file of your browser for longer. (How long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie). | Persistent cookies are used to help us recognise a device as a unique visitor (using a number, you cannot be identified by personally) when the device returns again to our website. This allows us to tailor content or advertisements to match your preferred interests or to avoid showing you the same adverts repeatedly. We also compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how users use our site and to help us improve the structure of our website. With these compiled statistics, we cannot identify you personally in this way. |
When looking at the uses of a cookie, this website, like many others, uses both first and third party cookies. We explain each of these types below. First party cookies: Where cookies are stored by us for Jaguar Land Rover purposes, these are called “first party cookies”. Jaguar Land Rover uses a number of first party cookies, primarily for 4 purposes, which are explained in more detail below. The list of first party cookies is made available to you, both in the list below, and when clicking the “manage preferences” section of the cookie banner choices that should appear to you when our home page downloads first time. Third party cookies: Some cookies that are stored when you visit our website may be accessed by other companies. For example:
- Where a social network’s “like” or similar button is displayed on one of our websites, that social network may store and access its own cookies to provide the button’s functionality and for other purposes. (You should visit the privacy and cookies policy of that social network to understand more about their cookies from here). The main social networks we allow display of “like” buttons on our website are below, together with links to their privacy and cookies policies, as valid from the date of this Cookie Policy.
