Cookies Policy
This policy explains how [COMPANY NAME] (“COMPANY NAME”, “we”) uses cookies and how
we may collect and process information about you through our website, [WEBSITE DOMAIN] (the
“Website”).
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files of letters and numbers
that we store on your internet browser or the hard drive of your computer (or
internet enabled device), if you agree. Cookies contain information which is
transferred to your computer or device’s hard drive.
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies to collect information about the use
of the Website and to distinguish you from other users in order to improve your
experience when you browse the Website and to improve the Website itself.
When you visit our Website we set Google Analytics
to measure the number of visitors, to see where they come from, how visitors
navigate the site, how long they stay on each page, whether they are new or
returning visitors and which resources they access. The data collected using
Google Analytics is all anonymous. This helps us to develop new content and to
improve the way the Website works.
What cookies do we use?
Our Website uses three kinds of cookie (categorised
as set out below):
(1) ‘Strictly necessary’ cookies; (2) ‘Analytical’
or ‘Performance’ cookies; and (3) ‘Functionality’ cookies;.
Strictly necessary cookies are cookies that are
required for the operation of the Website. They include, for example, cookies
that enable you to log into secure areas of the Website. These
essential cookies are always enabled because our Website won’t work properly
without them. You can switch off these cookies in your browser settings but you
may then not be able to access all or some of our Website.
Analytical or Performance cookies allow us to
recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around
our Website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our
Website works, for example by ensuring that users are finding what they are
looking for easily.
Functionality cookies are used to recognise you
when you return to our Website and this enables us to personalise our content
for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your
choice of language or region).
The table below explains the cookies used by us as
at [DATE] 2025. We
will update this information as and when we introduce new functionality to the Website.
