What are cookies?

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive.

We use the following cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies (also known as ‘essential’ cookies). These are cookies that are required for the operation of our 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 parts of our website.

  • Analytical or performance cookies. These 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.  These cookies don’t usually collect information that identifies you but we may collect information about your IP address or domain name.

  • Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. 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).

You can find more information about the individual cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them here

 

What happens if you disable cookies (i.e. opt-out)?

If you decide to disable cookies we record this so you don't get asked the question again. You will find that most of the website works as expected although functions that rely on cookies are obviously disabled. These functions include using online forms (e.g. our enquiry form) or any feature that requires login. We use a cookie to remember your cookie preferences, this has a couple of consequences:

  1. If you delete all your cookies you will have to tell us your preference again
  2. If you use a different device, computer profile or browser you will have to tell us your preference again

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies, please send us an email at info@bristoljld.co.uk
