11.Our Use of Cookies

Introduction to Cookies

This section explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

In some cases we may use cookies and other tracking technologies described in this section to collect personal information, or to collect information that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.

All cookies used by and on our website are used in accordance with current Cookie Law.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by online service providers in order to (for example) make their websites or services work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (Loxley Holdings (Ltd)) are called “first party cookies”. We have carefully chosen these Cookies and have taken steps to ensure that your privacy and personal data is protected and respected at all times.

By using our Website you may also receive cookies set by parties other than the Website Owner, called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website or service you are using (such as advertising, interactive content and analytics). The third parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website or service in question and also when it visits certain other websites or services.

Why do we use cookies and other tracking technologies?

We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and others are used to track and target the interests of visitors to our Website. For example, we use cookies to tailor content and information that we may send or display to you and otherwise personalise your experience while interacting with our Website and to otherwise improve the functionality of the Website. Finally, third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

How to control your cookies

When you visit Our Site, you will automatically receive cookies, and a message will be visible to alert you to this. By continuing to use Our Site you consent to our use of cookies to provide the best possible experience and service to you. You may, if you wish, deny consent to the placing of Cookies using your browser settings; however certain features of Our Site may not function fully or as intended.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Some cookies, however, are essential to the functionality of the Website and turning them off may affect its performance.

Website Cookie Preference Tool

You can exercise your Website cookie preferences by visiting the TRUSTe preference centre here http://preferences-mgr.truste.com/

Browser Controls

You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website though your access to some functionality may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.

Disabling Most Interest Based Advertising

Most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of Interest Based Advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.

Mobile Advertising

You can opt out of having your mobile advertising identifiers used for certain types of Interest Based Advertising, including those performed by us, by accessing the settings in your Apple or Android mobile device and following the most recent published instructions. If you opt out, we will remove all data about you and no further data collection or tracking will occur. The random ID we (or our third party partners) had previously assigned to you will also be removed. This means that if at a later stage, you decide to opt-in, we will not be able to continue and track you using the same ID as before, and you will for all practical purposes be a new user to our system.

Do Not Track

Some Internet browsers – like Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari – include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” or “DNT” signals. Since uniform standards for “DNT” signals have not been adopted, our Website does not currently process or respond to “DNT” signals. We take privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard. To learn more about “DNT”, please visit All About Do Not Track.
