Elephant and Castle Movers Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Elephant and Castle Movers uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and the choices you have to control their use. By continuing to use our website after being presented with our cookie notice, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy, unless you have adjusted your browser settings to refuse cookies.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, to enhance the user experience, and to provide information to website owners. Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of the Elephant and Castle Movers website. Without these cookies, core features such as page navigation, secure areas, and basic forms may not work correctly. These cookies do not store information that directly identifies you and are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences or completing forms. Because they are strictly necessary, they cannot generally be disabled via our site, but you may be able to block them in your browser settings, although this may impact how the site functions.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so that we can measure and improve its performance. They allow us to collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how users move around the site, and whether they encounter error messages. The data collected is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors. Elephant and Castle Movers uses this information to monitor website performance, understand user interests, and identify areas for improvement, such as simplifying navigation or improving content relevance.
Marketing and Preference Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to deliver content that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may be set by us or by third parties that provide services to us, such as advertising or social media partners. These cookies can remember that you have visited our website and may be used to show you tailored content or advertisements on other sites. Preference cookies enable our website to remember choices you make, such as language or region, to provide a more personalised experience. If you do not allow these cookies, you may experience less targeted content and may need to reset your preferences each time you visit.
Purpose of Cookies for Performance Monitoring
A key purpose of using cookies on the Elephant and Castle Movers website is performance monitoring. By analysing cookie data, we can identify technical issues, measure loading times, and understand how users interact with different sections of the site. This helps us ensure that pages load efficiently, that forms function correctly, and that information about our moving services is easy to find. Performance monitoring enables us to continually refine our website design and content so that visitors can plan and manage their moves with confidence and minimal friction.
User Control and Managing Cookies
You have several options to control or limit how cookies are used on the Elephant and Castle Movers website. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings, including blocking cookies, restricting them to certain sites, or deleting them when you close the browser. You can usually find these controls in the privacy or security sections of your browser settings. Please be aware that disabling some types of cookies, particularly essential cookies, may affect the functionality of the website and your ability to use certain features.
In addition to browser controls, you may be presented with a cookie banner or preference tool when you first visit our site, allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies such as analytics and marketing cookies. You can change these preferences at any time by adjusting your browser settings. Continued use of the website without changing your cookie settings will be taken as consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate our website. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so that you remain informed about how Elephant and Castle Movers uses cookies and how you can manage your preferences.
