Williams Loans Cookie Policy Last Updated: 7th March 2023

This Cookie Policy explains how Williams Loans (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://williamsloans.co.uk/ (the “Website”). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

Using the Website, you agree to our use of cookies following this Cookie Policy.

  1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Website owners widely use cookies to improve the performance of their websites and provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Williams Loans) 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 recognize your computer when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.

  1. Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties use cookies on our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

  1. What types of cookies do we use, and how do we use them?

A. Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Website functions.

B. Performance and Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.

C. Analytics and Customization Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used, how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to customize our Website for you.

D. Advertising Cookies: These cookies make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are correctly displayed for advertisers, and, in some cases, selecting advertisements based on your interests.

  1. How can you control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by adjusting your web browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to control the use of cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit websites’ ability to set cookies, your overall user experience may worsen since it will no longer be personalized for you.

  1. How often will we update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please, therefore, re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

Our Website may include third-party services, such as social media sharing buttons or embedded content (e.g., videos hosted on external platforms like YouTube). These third-party services may set their cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies or the related services, and you should consult the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant third parties for more information.

  1. Cookie Duration

The time a cookie will stay on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies will only stay on your device until you stop browsing, while persistent cookies will stay on your computer or mobile device until they expire or are deleted.

  1. International Data Transfers

Some third-party cookies we use may involve transferring your data outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area (EEA). By using our Website and agreeing to this Cookie Policy, you consent to transferring, storing, or processing your data outside the United Kingdom or the EEA. We will take all necessary steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and that you follow this cookie policy and applicable data protection laws.
