Cookies Policy

Hayes Parsons Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website https://www.hayesparsons.co.uk

This Policy, effective from 14 December 2022, 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 to collect personal information, or data that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.

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 website owners in order to make their websites work or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, CMTIA) are called ‘first-party cookies’. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called ‘third-party cookies’. 

Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on, or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

How can I control cookies?

You can manage your preferences relating to the use of cookies on our website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. 

Most browsers also allow you to refuse to accept cookies and to delete cookies. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser, and from version to version and so you should refer to your browser provider for instructions. 

In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt-out of targeted advertising. 

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our Websites or opened an e-mail including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
