Cookies

We use cookies on this website. A cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The text file is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

We may send a cookie which may be stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. We may use the information we obtain from the cookie in the administration of this website, to improve the website's usability and for marketing purposes. We may also use that information to recognise your computer when you visit our website, and to personalise our website for you.

We also use cookies to provide a Live Chat service - this handles things such as ensuring we do not lose track of a user's chat when they navigate to a new page on the website.

Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. This will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one.

Advertising and remarketing via third parties

We use third party advertising networks to market our products and services, as part of this we use conversion tracking, to help us determine how many people who clicked on our adverts end up contacting us via our website. This is typically done by using a cookie only if you have clicked on one of our adverts.

Our website also uses remarketing services to advertise on third party websites to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who haven't completed a task on our site, for example using the contact form to make an enquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement on a search engine results page, social network or website that's part of an advertising network.

These third party websites, use cookies to serve these ads based on someone's past visits to our website. Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and our advertising supplier's privacy policy.

You may opt out of the remarketing and conversion tracking services by using the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page, Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page and using the Do Not Track (DNT) privacy preference in your web browser.
