Cookies and pixel tags are small files or code on your device
The policy describes a cookie as a small file placed on your device that stores information when you visit a website. It also treats pixel tags (web beacons, clear gifs or tags) as a similar technology: small images or snippets of code that let a website function and help site owners learn how you interact with websites and emails.

Necessary, performance and functional cookies
The cookies placed on your device may include three kinds described here. Necessary cookies are needed to navigate the Site and use its features, and without them the services you asked for could not be provided. Performance cookies collect information about how you use the Site, such as which pages you visit most, and Ōura says much of that information is aggregated and anonymous and only used to improve how the Site works. Functional cookies let the Site remember choices you make, such as your user name, language, last action and search preferences, and provide enhanced, more personal features.
