Our website

This cookie policy relates to your use of our website, www.stronghorizons.co.uk.

Throughout our website we may link to other websites owned and operated by certain trusted third parties to insert details (eg make additional products and services available to you). These other third party websites may also gather information about you in accordance with their own separate privacy policies. For privacy information relating to these other third party websites, please consult their privacy policies as appropriate.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto your device (eg computer, smartphone or other electronic device) when you use our website. We use cookies on our website. These help us recognise you and your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions.

For example, we may monitor how many times you visit the website, which pages you go to, traffic data, location data and the originating domain name of your internet service provider.   This information helps us to build a profile of our users. Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means that we will not be able to identify you individually.

For further information on our use of cookies, including a detailed list of your information which we and others may collect through cookies, please see below.

For further information on cookies generally, including how to control and manage them, visit the guidance on cookies published by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

Consent to use cookies and changing settings

We will ask for your permission (Consent) to place cookies or other similar technologies on your device, except where they are essential for us to provide you with a service that you have requested (e.g. enabling you to submit a form or access secure content).

You can withdraw any consent to the use of cookies or manage any other cookie preferences by adjusting your browser settings.  Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies and to set preference for specific websites.  Please not that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our site.

For more information on how to manage cookies in your browser, you can visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.youronlinechoices.com.

Our use of cookies

Sometime we may use analytics cookies, set using third party web analytics software, which allow us to monitor our website traffic.


For example, we use Google Analytics and Universal Analytics cookies to help us do this. These analytics cookies may also tell us how many of our visitors are male or female, and may summarise the number of visitors who fall within certain age ranges, or certain interest categories. However, this sort of information is not linked to any individual; it just shows us what percentage of our visitors fall in particular categories.

 

We will not pass this data to third parties in such a way that would allow them to identify visitors personally. However, we may associate this cookie data with other personally identifiable data submitted by you (for instance when you submit a form, or partially complete a form, or leave items in your shopping basket), in order to make sure that our communications are as relevant to you as possible.

 

Sometimes we may use this data to highlight our products or services which we think will be of interest to you based on your use of our websites, or to contact you and offer help if you appear to be having difficulty completing an order.

 

We may also use third party cookies during e-commerce transactions to help prevent fraud.

 

We may also use marketing and social media cookies  provided by third-party platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, or Google to help us understand how visitors engage with our website and to deliver relevant content or advertisements. These cookies may track your browsing activity across different websites and build a profile of your interests.

These cookies do not directly identify you as an individual, but they may be used to associate your activity with your social media or advertising profiles. You can manage or disable these cookies through your browser settings or by adjusting your preferences on the relevant platform.

Third party access to the cookies

The cookies we use will only be accessed by us and those third parties named in this policy for the purposes referred to in this cookie policy. Those cookies will not be accessed by any other third party.

How to turn off all cookies and consequences of doing so

If you do not want to accept any cookies, you may be able to change your browser settings so that cookies (including those which are essential to the services requested) are not accepted. If you do this, please be aware that you may lose some of the functionality of our website.

For further information about cookies and how to disable them please go to the guidance on cookies published by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
