• For Marketing purposes, such as understanding how You arrived at our website.

What types of cookies do we use?

There are a number of different types of cookies, however, our website uses:

• Strictly necessary cookies — These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping online are an example of strictly necessary cookies.
• Preferences cookies — Also known as “functionality cookies,” these cookies allow a website to remember choices You have made in the past, like what language you prefer, what region You would like weather reports for, or what Your user name and password are so you can automatically log in.
• Statistics cookies — Also known as “performance cookies,” these cookies collect information about how You use a website, like which pages You visited and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify You. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services as long as the cookies are for the exclusive use of the owner of the website visited.
• Marketing cookies — These cookies track Your online activity to help advertisers or nonprofits deliver more relevant advertising or nonprofit messaging or to limit how many times You see an ad.

By using Oasis’s site, you acknowledge that strictly necessary cookies will be used to allow the website to function normally. You also consent to allow the use of all cookies unless you object to all or any types of cookies beyond “strictly necessary” cookies.
