Legal & Cookies

Cookies

It's EU law that will tell you a little about the Cookies that we use on the UK Homeliving website.

Firstly, cookies are small text files that a website can store in your web browser. They allow us to store small pieces of text and nothing more. For more detailed information about Cookies please visit Wikipedia.

At UK Homeliving we use cookies in two ways; for information storage and tracking. For you to get the best experience from our website we store little bits of information in a cookie. Sometimes this is as simple as remembering which content tab you have open on a page or if you've requested a promotional banner to be hidden.

The other way we use cookies is for tracking, namely Google Analytics and Google Adwords. This is a service that allows us to collate anonymous information about our users. Using Google Analytics we have access to a wealth of information such as what pages people visit, how long they stay and what kind of browser and device they use. In reviewing this information we can make more informed choices about future changes to this website so that they benefit the greatest number of users, for example, it's this information that lead to us implementing a responsive website for our mobile and tablet users.

Cookies get a bad press as they can be used to track user activity for long periods; highlighting a potential privacy concern. Though we do gather information about our users this is completely anonymous and can never be used to identify individual people.

If you are concerned about cookies, your browser provides the ability to stop websites saving them, as well as the ability to delete any existing ones. However if cookies are disabled this may adversely affect how you experience our website.
