HOW WE USE COOKIES
A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyze web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyze data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS COOKIES
Google Analytics tracking uses cookies in order to provide meaningful reports about website visitors. However, Google Analytics cookies do not collect any personal data about website visitors.

Google Analytics uses cookies to define user sessions, as well as to provide a number of key features in the Google Analytics reports. Google Analytics sets or updates cookies only to collect data required for the reports.

Additionally, Google Analytics uses only first-party cookies. This means that all cookies set by Google Analytics for a domain send data only to the servers for that domain. This effectively makes Google Analytics cookies the personal property of your website domain, and the data cannot be altered or retrieved by any service on another domain.

Specific information about the cookies that Google Analytics uses can be found here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage

CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (CRM)
We store data about our customers in our CRM database which we may subsequently use for marketing purposes. We also record information about work undertaken by us against a customer to assist with future jobs we may undertake for said customer. The data we record may include but is not limited to the customer name, company name, postal address, email address, phone number, mobile number, and preferences for receiving marketing information if the customer has given their consent. Our database is encrypted using an encryption key associated with an authorised user’s ID to prevent unauthorised access.

We occasionally send customers that have given their consent to receive electronic marketing information via email. We gather statistics about emails being opened and links within the email being clicked to measure the success of particular marketing campaign.

SURFACE MAILERS
We occasionally send customers that have given their consent to receive marketing information by post.

Many of our websites are built on the WordPress platform and are hosted on web servers provided by Clook (Sub 6 Ltd).

On some websites, it is possible to post comments requiring the users’ name and email address.
