How does Cuckoo use cookies?

Well we don't eat them...

Here are the key ways we use cookies. We also sometimes allow third parties to place cookies. We've included some examples of who these third parties are below.

To help navigate around our website and use its features
  • Logging in: cookies remember that you're logged in to your Cuckoo Account.
  • Regsiter for early access: they remember information you give us, like your postcode, so we can see if we can suplly to you.
  • Get referral rewards: they remember if you or your friend came through a referral link so you can both receive the right reward.
To help customise how the website works for you
  • Preferences: cookies remember your preferences such as the language you use.
  • Website optimisation: we use tools to test different web designs by showing you a version of our website that is different to everyone else's, so we can see which is best. This is called A/B testing.
  • Chat: we use Twilio to allow you to continue the same chat conversation even if you come back at a later date.
To help spot problems and improve the experience of our website and App
  • Web Analytics: we use programs like Google Analytics to help us find out how many people visit our websites, where they came from, what devices they used, which pages they visited, and what information they are searching for.
  • Help articles: we use Zendesk to help us to analyse what our customers are searching for in the Help Centre, and whether the articles we have are useful.
  • Record web sessions: tools like Hotjar allow us to view your web session in real-time. By replaying your journey through our website, it helps us see the website through your eyes and helps our tech team find and fix errors and improve the usability of the website.
To help deliver advertising
  • Advertising performance: we use technology like Doubleclick and Impact Radius to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to tailor our ads so that they're more relevant to you.
  • Retargeting: we share with platforms like Facebook and Google which pages you've visited on our website. So for example, if you've recently logged into your Cuckoo Account we won't show you any "Join Cuckoo" ads, and instead share different content.
