Cookie Policy
Introduction
This cookie policy (“Policy”) describes the types of cookies and other tracking technologies that may be used when you visit our website, [ftdp.co.uk] (“Website”), or when you use any of our services or products that reference this Policy. This Policy explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
1. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
2. Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies and other similar tracking technologies to improve and customise your browsing experience on our Website, to provide and improve our services, to analyse the use of our services, and to promote trust and safety. For example, we use cookies to remember your preferences, to personalise content and ads, to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent activity, and to analyse how our Website and services are performing.
3. What types of cookies do we use?
We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them). We also use first-party cookies (which are set by us) and third-party cookies (which are set by our partners or other third parties).
The specific types of cookies and other tracking technologies that we use may include:
- Essential cookies: These cookies are necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to enable you to use some of its features. Without these cookies, the services that you have asked for cannot be provided, and we only use these cookies to provide you with those services.
- Performance and functionality cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable.
- Analytics and customisation cookies: These cookies collect information that is used to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customise our Website for you. We may use this information to help us improve the content and usability of our Website, or to develop new products and services that are of interest to our users.
- Advertising cookies: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
5. How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website, but your access to some functionality and areas of our Website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
6. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies and other tracking technologies that we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Therefore, please review this Policy periodically for any updates or changes.
