Cookie Policy for Harkwell
This Cookie Policy details the approach of Harkwell regarding the use of cookies and similar technologies on our website. We aim to provide clarity and transparency on how we utilise these technologies to enhance your experience, measure website performance, and customise content and advertising to our users. This policy is crafted to be compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) amongst other pertinent legislation.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (be it a computer, tablet, or smartphone) upon visiting certain websites. Their purpose is to remember your device during subsequent visits for a variety of reasons, including facilitating efficient site navigation, personalising content, and analysing site usage.
How We Use Cookies
At Harkwell, we employ cookies and similar technologies, including web beacons (also known as “pixels”) and Google Analytics, for several objectives:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or completing forms.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: We use these cookies to collect information about how you interact with our website, including which pages you visit most often and if you receive error messages from certain pages. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous information that does not identify you as an individual. The use of this data helps us improve the functionality of our website and understand the effectiveness of the content we provide.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
- Targeting Cookies or Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers.
