Cookie Policy

Our website uses cookies and similar small bits of software to improve the performance and enhance the user experience of our website https://www.electricradiatorsdirect.co.uk/.

The use of cookies is common practice on the majority of websites. Without these cookies, many of the functions required to enable our users to make purchases would not be available.

We use cookies to enable us to understand how users interact with our website and improve our service, and also to report on trends and sales. This policy explains how we do that.

Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a website or page. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognise your device the next time you visit. Web beacons or other similar files can also do the same thing. We use the term “cookies” in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.

There are many functions cookies serve. Cookies are needed for a number of functions which make websites work or work more efficiently and to improve your browsing experience, and they can provide information to website owners about how you use their website. Cookies can also be used to show you adverts that are relevant to you, based on your browsing habits, to personalise your user experience. For example, to personalise your experience cookies can help us to remember your username and preferences, analyse how well our website is performing or even allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you.

Certain cookies contain personal information, for example, if you click “remember me” when logging in, a cookie will store your username.

Some cookies do not collect information that identifies you and will instead collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use our website or a user’s general location.

Essential or strictly necessary cookies. Some cookies are essential for the operation of our website. For example, some cookies enable you to log into secure areas of our website or make use of services. These types of cookies also allow us to identify subscribers and ensure they can access the subscription only pages. If a subscriber opts to disable these cookies, the user will not be able to access all of the content that a subscription entitles them to.

Analytical or performance cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website work, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.  We use Google Analytics performance cookies to provide anonymous statistics on how our site is used.  Some of our performance cookies are managed for us by third parties.  However, we don’t allow the third party to use the cookies for any purpose other than those listed above. For example, we might use performance cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. We might also use these cookies to highlight articles or services that we think will be of interest to you based on your usage of our website.

Functionality cookies.  We use functionality cookies to allow us to remember your preferences for your return visits to our website. For example, cookies can save you the trouble of typing in your username every time you access our website. This also enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose anonymously. We do not tell third parties who you are.
