This Cookie policy describes what cookies are and how BOSS Building & DIY Supplies LTD (“BOSS Building & DIY Supplies LTD”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses them on the www.bossbuildingsupplies.co.uk website and any of its products or services (collectively, “Website” or “Services”).
You should read this Policy so you can understand what type of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used. It also describes the choices available to you regarding accepting or declining the use of cookies. For further information on how we use, store and keep your personal data secure, see our Privacy Policy, which can be found at: here.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a site 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. For example, they can help us to remember your username, any promotion code(s), preferences and 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 to remember me when logging in, a cookie will store your username. Most cookies wont collect information that identifies you, and will instead collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use our websites, or a users general location
More detail on how businesses use cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org
What sort of Cookies do we use
Generally, our cookies perform up to four different functions:
Essential cookies
Some cookies are essential for the operation of our website. For example, some cookies allow us to identify members and ensure they can access the member only pages or enable the functionality to display prices with or without VAT. If a member opts to disable these cookies, the user will not be able to access all of the content available.
Performance Cookies
We utilise other cookies to analyse how our visitors use our websites and to monitor website performance. This allows us to provide a high-quality experience by customising our offering and quickly identifying and fixing any issues that arise. 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 site services that we think will be of interest to you based on your usage of the website.
Functionality Cookies
We use functionality cookies to allow us to remember your preferences. For example, cookies save you the trouble of typing in your username every time you access the site, and what products you had added to your trolley. We also use functionality cookies to provide you with enhanced services such as allowing you to watch a video online or comment on a blog.
Behaviourally Targeted Advertising Cookies
We may use cookies to show you relevant advertising both on and off the JMD Building Supplies site. We may also use a cookie to learn whether someone who saw an ad later visited and took an action (e.g. made a purchase). Similarly, our partners may use a cookie to determine whether weve shown an ad and how it performed, or provide us with information about how you interact with ads.
How do we manage cookies
As we explain earlier in our Cookie Policy, cookies help you to get the most out of our websites. If you do disable our cookies you may find that certain sections of our website do not work. For example, you may have difficulties logging in or seeing the products in your trolley.
If you are concerned about behaviourally targeted advertising cookies (which serve you advertisements based on your use of jmdbuildingsupplies.co.uk and other websites), users can visit www.youronlinechoices.eu to opt out of these third-party cookies.
