Privacy Policy

Data Protection Statement

The Howarth Timber Group Ltd would like to assure its customers of its commitment to their privacy, and its compliance with the UK Data Protection Act 1998.

Our policy is to retain personal data in accordance with the Act, and we confirm that any data collected will not be held for longer than necessary to fulfil the purposes described.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information

By visiting our website you consent to us tracking non-personally identifiable data, which allows us to build up a picture of the people and companies accessing our site. This information is used purely for monitoring and assessing the effectiveness of our website and the pages within it, and we are unable to gain or pass on any personally identifiable information from this process. 

Cookies

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile phone (referred to here as a "device") browser from a website's computer and is stored on your device's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.

We may collect information about activity on our websites, or we may use other organisations to collect the information and to share the results with us. We use this information to analyse statistics; track pages and paths used by visitors to our websites; target the banner adverts on our websites and on the websites of other organisations; and track the use of our internet banner adverts and other links from our marketing partners' websites to our websites.

For these purposes, we and the other organisations we use keep information on the path you take to get to our websites and on the pages you visit on our websites, using cookies and web beacons. You cannot be personally identified from the information that we or these other organisations collect.

Information supplied by cookies can help Howarth Timber to analyse the profile of our visitors, what products they are interested in and what they buy. This helps us to provide future visitors with a better user experience.

Users have the opportunity to set their devices to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these means that certain personalised features cannot then be provided to that user and accordingly they may not be able to take full advantage of all of the website's features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

Information on deleting or controlling cookies and what they are used for is available at these websites www.AboutCookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.com/uk. Please note that by deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our site.

Personal information is deemed to have been submitted voluntarily, and will consist of such details as your name, address, telephone/fax number, email address and company details. This information will be used to supply you with the information or service you require and will not be disclosed or sold to third parties.
