Cookie statement
This Cookie Statement explains how we
use cookies and similar technologies in the course of our business, including
through our websites that link to this Cookie Statement, such Www.simeonwilliams.co.uk
or any website or mobile application owned, operated or controlled by us
(collectively, “Websites” or “websites”). It explains what these technologies
are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
This Cookie Statement is and will be treated as part of our Terms of Service
and is automatically incorporated therein. Capitalized terms used and not
otherwise defined in this Cookie Statement have the meanings given to those
terms in our Privacy Policy.
In some cases, we may use cookies and
other tracking technologies described in this Cookie Statement to collect
Personal Information, or to collect information that becomes Personal
Information if we combine it with other information. For more information about
how we process your Personal Information, please consult our Privacy Policy.
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 online service providers in order to (for example) make their
websites or services work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide
reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner or
service provider (in this case, Www.simeonwilliams.co.uk) 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 or service you are using
(such as advertising, interactive content and analytics). The third parties
that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it
visits the website or service in question and also when it visits certain other
websites or services.
Why do we use cookies and other tracking technologies?
We use first party and third-party
cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in
order for our Websites and Services to operate, and we refer to these as
“essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us and the
third parties we work with to track and target the interests of visitors to our
Websites, and we refer to these as “performance” or “functionality” cookies.
For example, we use cookies to tailor content and information that we may send
or display to you and otherwise personalize your experience while interacting with
our Websites and to otherwise improve the functionality of the Services we
provide. We also enable our users to employ cookies and similar tracking
technologies in connection with their use of our Services in order to allow us
and our users to track their subscribers. Finally, third parties serve cookies
through our Websites and Services for advertising, analytics, and other
purposes. This is described in more detail below.
Cookies served through our Websites
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the
website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually
only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for
services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in
forms.
You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some
parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally
identifiable information.
Other tracking technologies
We and our third-party partners may use other, similar
technologies from time to time, like web beacons, pixels (or “clear gifs”) and
other tracking technologies. These are tiny graphics files that contain a
unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our
Websites or, in the case of web beacons, opened an e-mail that we have sent
them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users
from one page within our Websites to another, to deliver or communicate with
cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Websites from an online
advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to serve targeted
advertisements to you and others like you, to improve site performance, and to
measure the success of marketing campaigns. While you may not have the ability
to specifically reject or disable these tracking technologies, in many
instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly;
accordingly, in those instances, declining cookies will impair functioning of
these technologies.
Targeted online advertising
We have engaged one or more third party service providers to track
and analyze both individualized usage and volume statistical information from
interactions with our Websites. We also partner with one or more third parties
(such as advertisers and ad networks) to display advertising on our Websites
and/or to manage and serve advertising on other sites.
These third parties use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and
similar tracking technologies to collect and use certain information about your
online activities, either on our Websites and/or other sites or mobile apps, to
infer your interests and deliver you targeted advertisements that are more
tailored to you based on your browsing activities and inferred interests
(“Interest Based Advertising”).
Our third-party service providers may also use cookies or web
beacons to collect information about your visits to our Websites and/or other
sites to measure and track the effectiveness of advertisements and our online
marketing activities (for example, by collecting data on how many times you
click on one of our ads). The information collected by these third parties does
not include personal information that enables you to be specifically identified
(e.g. by reference to your name or email address).
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.
Website Cookie Preference Tool: You can exercise
preferences about what cookies are served on our Websites by visiting our
Privacy Policy.
Browser Controls: You can set or amend
your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject
cookies, you may still use our Websites though your access to some
functionality and areas of our Websites may be restricted. As the means by
which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from
browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more
information.
Disabling Most Interest Based
Advertising: Most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of
Interest Based Advertising. If you would like to find out more information,
please contact our IT Manager on info@www.simeonwilliams.co.uk.com
Mobile Advertising: You can opt out of
having your mobile advertising identifiers used for certain types of Interest
Based Advertising, including those performed by us, by accessing the settings
in your Apple or Android mobile device and following the most recent published
instructions. If you opt out, we will remove all data about you and no further
data collection or tracking will occur. The random ID we (or our third party
partners) had previously assigned to you will also be removed. This means that
if at a later stage, you decide to opt-in, we will not be able to continue and
track you using the same ID as before, and you will for all practical purposes
be a new user to our system.
Do Not Track: Some Internet browsers
- like Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari - include the ability to transmit
“Do Not Track” or “DNT” signals. Since uniform standards for “DNT” signals have
not been adopted, our Websites do not currently process or respond to “DNT”
signals. Www.simeonwilliams.co.uk takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously
and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser
technology and the implementation of a standard. To learn more about “DNT”,
please visit All About Do Not Track.
How often will you update this Cookie
Statement?
We may update this Cookie Statement from time to time in order to
reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational,
legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Statement
regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the bottom of this Cookie Statement indicates when it
was last updated.
