What are cookies?

 

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device. You can find more information about cookies at: www.allaboutcookies.org.

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

 

Why do we use cookies?

 

  • to make our sites easier for you to use
  • to distinguish you from other users of our sites. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our sites and also allows us to improve our sites
  • to help stop our online forms from being used to send spam-email
  • to monitor usage so we can spot trends and make improvements
  • to evaluate our sites’ advertising and promotional effectiveness (we own the anonymous data collected and don’t share it with anyone)
  • to identify individuals in the following circumstances (and personal information is stored by us as a result):
    • when they submit an enquiry via the contact form on our website
    • if they visit our site via a hyperlink inserted in an email or newsletter sent by us (directly or via the Force24 platform detailed below) to a named or generic email address

 

What cookies do we use?

 

 

How can you control the cookies we use?

 

You can block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies or by disabling them when asked. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of our site.

If you “disable” cookies the interactive functions of the website will not operate. For example, data-submission via forms, features requiring login and many other features of the sites cannot work fully without using cookies.

If you ignore the cookies notification, the sites will continue to set cookies as necessary. This approach of “implied opt-in” is specifically discussed and approved in the guidance notes issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office (the organisation charged with enforcement of the legislation governing the use of cookies).
