Being honest and protecting our customers is at the heart of everything we do at Smithills ICT and protecting your information is no exception. This means that any cookies used on our site will not contain personally identifiable information about you. However, we do use cookies on our website to help make your visits more effective so we’d like to explain more about how and why we use them.

Cookies make websites work better. They are small text files placed on your computer by websites or sometimes by emails. They provide useful information to companies, which helps in all sorts of ways. For you, it means you can use the site more efficiently and save time by not having to re-enter your details each time you visit. They also make sure you receive the most relevant information. For us, cookies help us to analyse how our customers interact with our site so we can make improvements.

We use two types of cookies on our website:

  • Session cookies that are deleted after each visit.
  • Persistent cookies that remain in place across multiple visits to our sites.

Some of these cookies are essential and some are non-essential

Certain cookies are necessary in order for you to use our websites. These are used 'in-session' each time you visit and then expire when you leave the site. They’re not stored on your computer and they don't contain any personal data. However, you can delete them via your browser if you wish to, but this will restrict the functions that you're able to carry out on our sites.

Session Cookies: These enable you to carry out some essential functions on our sites, such as maintaining log in details for accessing our resources or registering for our newsletter. They also help by minimising the need to transfer information across the internet. They are not stored on your computer and they expire when you terminate your browser session.

Tracking Cookies: These enable us to recognise repeat visitors to the site. By matching an anonymous, randomly generated identifier, we're able to record specific browsing information such as how you arrive at the site, the pages you view, options you select, and the path you take through the site. By monitoring this information we’re able to make improvements to our sites.

Here's a list of non-essential cookies and how we use them:

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to analyse page use, page interactions and the routes our customers take through our sites. These are known as 'web metrics'. This is a web analytics service provided by Google enabling us to recognise repeat visitors to the site.
