Cookie policy

We use cookies and other similar technologies to improve your experience of our site.

What are cookies?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit our site. Cookies are sent back from your browser to our site on each subsequent visit, or to another site that recognises that cookie. Cookies allow us to recognise and distinguish between the different users and devices that visit our site.

Cookies perform many different tasks, such as letting you navigate between pages efficiently and remembering your preferences. In our case they are only used to improve the experience of our visitors.

For more information about Cookies please visit www.aboutcookies.org and www.allaboutcookies.org.

Types of cookies used

We use the following cookies on our site:

  • Analytics cookies

    Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our site, for instance which pages they go to most often or the frequency of their visits. This information provides us with a better understanding of how our site is being used.

    Our site uses the Google Analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). The information obtained via Google Analytics is anonymised and cannot be attributed to any one individual. Google provides further information on how Google Analytics uses cookies and also provides a method to opt out of Google Analytics completely.

  • Functionality cookies

    Functionality cookies allow us to remember your saved preferences and therefore provide enhanced, more personal features. The information these cookies collect is anonymised and cannot track your browsing activity on other sites.

  • First party cookies

    First party cookies are set via our orchard-street.co.uk domain rather than the domain of a third party. This allows us to closely control the data they collect.

  • Third party cookies

    Third party cookies are set by a domain other than orchard-street.co.uk. For example, we use Google Maps to display the location of our office on our contact page. On visiting the page Google sets a third party cookie on your device so that it can determine if you are an authenticated Google account holder. If you are, Google will customise the map accordingly.

  • Persistent cookies

    Persistent cookies are those which remain on your computer or device for a predetermined duration and are activated each time you visit our site.
