IN DETAIL.

What do you need to know about cookies?

Cookies help to provide a better and faster experience. A cookie is a small text file that stores Internet settings. Almost every website uses cookie technology. The cookie is downloaded by your Internet browser the first time you visit a website.

The next time you visit this website with the same device, the website that originally triggered the setting of the cookie then recognises that you have been here before, and in some cases, it tailors what appears on screen to take account of that fact. In this way, it can be made more relevant to your personal interests and needs.
Cookies referred to below are synonymous with HTML5 Session Web Storages and HTML5 Local Web Storages.

First-party cookies.

First party cookies are cookies that we, Leal & Co. Ltd, deploy on the website that you are currently visiting and with which you will interact when you continue your journey on our websites (www.mini.mu).

Third-party cookies.

Our websites may also contain content from other websites which may deploy their own cookies. These cookies are set by someone other than the owner of the website you’re visiting. Such third-party providers can set cookies while you are visiting the MINI website and thus receive information such as the fact that you have loaded a MINI website. Please visit the websites of third-party providers to obtain further information on how they use cookies. You can find information about the respective 3rd party controlling such a third-party cookie in the detailed description above.
If you have decided that you do not want to accept 3rd party cookies, you can object to such cookies or withdraw your consent to such cookies by using the relevant function provided on our website to reject your consent. 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. Sections of our website that potentially have the technical means to incorporate third-party contents and thus set third-party cookies will in this case not be available to you. You will be informed about this by a corresponding notice. If you still wish to use the content of the website in such a case, this will only be possible if you agree to the use of cookies that are subject to consent.
To do so, please use the function provided in the relevant position on our website to give your consent. For more details, please refer to the list of cookies which details all integrated 3rd-party codes (e.g. tags/scripts/pixels).

What happens if you decline cookies?

If you decide to reject cookies that require consent, we will accept your decision and not use such cookies. If you decide to withdraw your consent, we will no longer deploy cookies which were set active when you initally visited our webiste nor cookies that require consent. We 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 object to performance cookies. By doing this, however, it prevents us from being able to learn what you like or don’t like about our website so that we can make it better.

Please note that we cannot delete third party cookies. If you wish to delete all third-party cookies, you need do this in your browser settings.

Please note that if you want to withdraw your consent to cookies for marketing purposes, this does not mean that you will see less advertising . It just means that the advertising you see will not be as customised to your needs.

Managing your browser’s cookies.

You can manage (enable/disable and delete) the cookie settings on our website via the functionalites 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 can be found in your browser’s integrated help function.

It is important to note that if you change your settings and block certain cookies, you might not be able to take full advantage of some features of our site, and we might not be able to provide some content you have previously seen or used.
