Cookies Policy.

Introduction.

This policy explains how we use cookies on this website, www.answerconnect.co.uk (the "Site"). This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions of Supply.

A 'cookie' is a small text file that is downloaded onto, and stored on, your device when you visit a website and that enables the website operator to obtain certain information from your browser, such as your preferences. Cookies allow us to maximise your experience using the Site by increasing its functionality and allowing the Site to remember information and selections as you move from page to page and from visit to visit, depending on the cookie.

The Site uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of the Site. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse the Site and also allows us to improve the Site.

We may combine information collected via cookies with information such as your IP address, the type of browser, device and operating system, for example to provide statistical information about visitors to the Site. Where the Site uses third parties cookies, you should check with the relevant third party to see how they use cookies.

In this cookies policy, we use the term "cookie" to mean a cookie and any other similar technology, such as web beacons, local stored objects, and pixel tags.

We recommend that you read our cookies policy so that you are aware of how we use them and can take steps to reject or delete the cookies if you do not agree to them being used.

Consent and types of cookies.

We use the following cookies on the Site:

• Strictly necessary (essential) cookies - These are cookies that are required for the operation of the Site and are set automatically. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of the Site or make use of e-billing services. Without these cookies, services that you have asked for cannot be provided.
• Analytical/performance cookies - They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the Site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way the Site works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. Unless you use the cookie control to opt-out, the analytical cookies will be set automatically upon clicking "save and close" in the cookie control.
• Functionality cookies - These are used to recognise you when you return to the Site. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region). These cookies will only be set where you have given your consent. You can control your consent using the cookie control on the Site.
• Targeting cookies - These cookies record your visit to the Site, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make the Site and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose. These cookies will only be set where you have given your consent. You can control your consent using the cookie control on the Site.
