IN DETAIL
What do you need to know about cookies?
Cookies help to provide a better and faster online experience. A cookie is a small text file that stores internet settings. Almost every website uses cookies or similar technologies. Cookies are downloaded by your Internet browser and placed on your device the first time you visit a website.
The next time you visit the same website using the same device, the website that originally triggered the setting of the cookie will recognize that you have visited the website before, and in some cases, it adapts the content to take account of your most prior visits. In this way, the website experience can be tailored to your personal interests and preferences.
First-party cookies versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are cookies that Coca‑Cola deploys on the website that you are currently visiting and with which you interact when you use our websites.
Our websites may also contain content from other websites which may deploy their own cookies. These cookies are set by someone other than Coca‑Cola. These third-party providers can set cookies while you are visiting the Coca‑Cola website and receive information such as the fact that you have loaded a Coca‑Cola website. You will need to visit the websites of those third parties to find out more on how they use these cookies. You can find more information about the relevant third parties further in this Cookie Policy.
If you have decided that you do not want to accept third-party cookies, you can object to such cookies or withdraw your consent to such cookies by using the relevant function provided in the section “Cookie Settings”. If you object to all third-party cookies, you will only be provided with those functionalities on our website which we can guarantee will work without these cookies.
What happens if I reject cookies?
If you decide to reject cookies that require your prior consent, we will not use such cookies. If you decide to withdraw consent that was given to us previously, we will no longer use the relevant cookies and will delete them (if they are first-party cookies). This means, however, that in the case of functional cookies, you will not be able to take advantage of all the features and functionality of our website. Similarly, it is possible for you to reject performance cookies. In that case we will be less able to learn what you like or do not like about our website, so that we can make it better.
We cannot delete third-party cookies. If you wish to delete all third-party cookies, you need do this in your own browser settings. Also, if you reject or withdraw your consent to advertising cookies, you will not necessarily receive less advertising – but the advertising you see will not be customized to suit your needs.
Managing cookie settings via your browser
You can manage (enable/disable and delete) the cookie settings on our website via the functionalities above, but also by altering your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to manage your cookies by either accepting or rejecting all cookies or accepting only certain types of cookies. The procedure for managing and deleting cookies usually can be found in your browser’s integrated help function.
Who’s legally responsible for Coca Cola’s cookie use?
The cookies described in this Cookie Policy are used in connection with a website that is owned and controlled by NV Coca‑Cola Services SA, with registered office at Chaussée de Mons 1424, 1070 Brussels, Belgium ("CCS" or "us"). Where personal data is processed through the use of first-party cookies, CCS determines the means and purposes of such processing and is the data controller as defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679).
Our online Privacy Notice applies in addition to this Cookie Policy. The Privacy Notice informs you about the ways CCS uses, stores and protects personal data collected online. It also informs you of your data protection rights and how to exercise them. We recommend that you read this Privacy Notice. If you have questions or concerns about the Cookie Policy or Privacy Notice, you can email us at privacy@coca-cola.com.
