Hampstead Man and Van Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Hampstead Man and Van uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. By continuing to use our website after seeing our cookie notice, you agree that cookies may be placed on your device as described in this policy. You can change your cookie preferences at any time, as outlined in the section on user control.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They enable the website to recognise your device and store information about your visit, such as your preferences, pages you view, and actions you take. Some cookies are essential for the website to function, while others help us understand how visitors use our site or support our marketing activities.

Types of Cookies We Use

Hampstead Man and Van uses different categories of cookies to operate and improve our website. These cookies may be set by us directly or by third parties acting on our behalf.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, key features and services would not function properly. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as filling in forms, navigating between pages, or maintaining your session as you browse.

These cookies do not store information that identifies you directly. Instead, they enable core functions such as page loading, security, and access to restricted areas of the site. Because they are required for our website to work, you cannot disable essential cookies using our site’s cookie controls, though you may disable them in your browser settings if you wish. Doing so may impact the functionality and stability of the site.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Hampstead Man and Van website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay, which browser or device is used, and how visitors arrive at our site. This data is generally aggregated and does not identify you personally.

We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, identify errors, and improve the structure, content, and usability of our pages. By analysing usage patterns, we can make informed decisions about updates that make the website faster, clearer, and more relevant to your needs. You can choose whether to allow analytics cookies through your browser settings or cookie preferences tools where available.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertising that is more relevant to your interests. They help us measure the effectiveness of our promotional activities and may be set by us or by our marketing partners. These cookies can remember that you visited our website and may be used to show you tailored messages on other sites.

Marketing cookies may collect information about your browsing behaviour on our site, such as pages viewed and actions taken. They do not give us direct access to your personal files or data on your device. You can choose to disable marketing cookies via your browser or device settings if you do not wish to receive personalised content.

Purpose of Cookies for Performance Monitoring

A key purpose of our use of cookies is to monitor and enhance the performance of the Hampstead Man and Van website. By tracking technical metrics, such as loading times, navigation paths, and frequency of errors, we can identify areas where the site may be slow, confusing, or difficult to use.

This performance monitoring allows us to optimise images, streamline page layouts, and refine our content. It also helps us ensure that the website functions consistently across different devices and browsers. The information collected for performance purposes is used in aggregated form and is not intended to identify individual visitors.

User Control and Managing Cookies

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive alerts before a cookie is placed.

If you choose to restrict or disable certain types of cookies, some features of the Hampstead Man and Van website may not function as intended. Essential cookies are needed for core services, while disabling analytics or marketing cookies may reduce our ability to improve the site or show you relevant content. You can review and adjust your cookie choices at any time in your browser settings.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, technological developments, or how we operate our website. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the revised policy will be effective from the date it is published. We recommend that you review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
