In this Cookie Policy we, CKG Marketing Consultancy LTD of 14 Wryneck Walk, Coventry, CV4 9YG operating www.ckgmarketing.co.uk, (hereinafter “CKG Marketing” or “we”) inform you about cookies in general and how and which cookies are used on our website and how you can manage stored cookies.

We respect your privacy and take the protection of your personal information very seriously and do so in strict accordance with the UK`s Data Protection Act 2018 (“DPA”), the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (“PECR”).

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on the visitor’s computer or device when they are accessed and store information about the user and the website. Cookies can serve different purposes.

Cookies can be very useful for you, as they increase the user experience for multiple website visits. If you use the same device and the same browser for multiple visits to a website, the visited website can adapt displayed content to your interests and needs.

Why do we use cookies?

In order to be able to offer a personalised and appealing service and improvements to the website, we collect and store information about how you use our offer. We use cookies, for example to personalise pages or to keep users safe for the duration of their visit. These cookies are completely secure and do not contain any sensitive information.

What types of cookies do we use?

We use both first party cookies, which are issued from our website’s own domain, and third-party cookies, which belong to and are managed by other parties, such as our partners or service providers.

The cookies used on our website can be divided into two categories:

  1. Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that will be deleted from your device once you close your browser. They are used to remember your device as you move within our website.
  1. Persistent cookies: These are longer-lasting cookies that remain on your device even after you close your browser. They are used to recognise your device each time you use our website and to remember your preferences.

The classification as technically necessary or technically non-necessary also determines the cookies we use:

Technically necessary cookies

Technically necessary cookies are required for our website to function properly; they enable you to navigate our website efficiently and use its functional features. An example of this is, for example, the reminder of recently performed actions (e.g., entered text) when you return to a page within the same session.

Technically non-essential cookies

Technically non-essential cookies are not necessary for the proper functioning of our website, but they enable us to improve the content of our website, compile statistics for internal market analysis purposes, provide you with a more personalised online experience or provide additional features. In particular we use advertising and analytical cookies.

Advertising cookies are used to provide content that is more relevant to you and your interests (direct marketing). They can be used to provide targeted advertising or to limit the frequency with which you are shown an advertisement. They also help us measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. In addition, we may use these cookies to store which websites you have visited.

Analytical cookies are used by third parties. These cookies allow third parties to recognise that you have visited our website. We and our third-party providers may also combine information obtained from these cookies with personal information available from other sources, including data collected about you when you use other websites and data collected about you when you are offline, whether on our website or data maintained by the third-party provider.
