1. Introduction

Welcome to Wilkinson Ltd . Our website, https://www.wilkinson-ltd.com/ , uses cookies to enhance your Browse experience, analyse site traffic, and for other purposes described in this policy.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our Website, the types of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies, how that information is used, and how you can control your cookie preferences. This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy 

By clicking “Got it!” on our cookie consent banner, or by continuing to browse our Website after being presented with the banner, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy, except for strictly necessary cookies which do not require consent. You can change your cookie preferences at any time.

2. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website owners.

Cookies can be:

  • Session cookies: These are temporary and expire once you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.
  • First-party cookies: These are set by the website you are visiting (in this case, Wilkinson Maintenance Ltd).
  • Third-party cookies: These are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, such as by our analytics providers or for embedded content like maps.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several purposes, including:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the Website to function properly 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 or filling in forms. We also use a cookie to remember your cookie consent choices.
  • Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
  • Functionality Cookies: These cookies enable the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages (e.g., embedded maps).
  • Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners or by third-party services (like Google Maps, which might use data for advertising purposes through their own platforms). They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
