This Cookie Policy was last updated on 5th October 2020 and applies to citizens of the United Kingdom.
Our website, https://protectionzone.co.uk (hereinafter: “the website”), uses cookies and other related technologies (for convenience all technologies are referred to as “cookies”). Cookies are also placed by third parties we have engaged. In the document below, we inform you about the use of cookies on our website.
A cookie is a small simple file that is sent along with pages of this website and stored by your browser on the hard drive of your computer or another device. The information stored therein may be returned to our servers or to the servers of the relevant third parties during a subsequent visit.
A script is a piece of programme code that is used to make our website function properly and interactively. This code is executed on our server or on your device.
A web beacon (or a pixel tag) is a small, invisible piece of text or image on a website that is used to monitor traffic on a website. In order to do this, various data about you is stored using web beacons.
When you visit our website for the first time, we will show you a pop-up message which explains the different categories of cookies we use and asking for your consent to use cookies that are not categorised as functional. As soon as you click on “Save preferences”, you consent to us using the categories of cookies and plug-ins you selected in the pop-up, as described in this Cookie Policy (see section 6 Cookies below for more information about the different categories of cookies). If you move to another page without clicking “Save Preferences”, we will consider this your consent for setting the Functional cookies on your device.
You can disable the use of cookies via your browser, but please note that our website may no longer work properly. See Section 9 below for more information on enabling, disabling and deleting cookies.
5.1 Manage your consent settings
You can change or withdraw your cookie consent settings using the Manage Consent pop-up at the bottom left of the website or by contacting us – see Section 10 Contact Details below.
By default, Functional cookies will remain set since these are necessary for the website to function correctly. However, you will be able to set/reset the Statistics and Marketing cookies – (see section 6 Cookies below for more information about the different categories of cookies we use).
You can also disable the use of cookies via your browser, but please note that our website may no longer work properly. See Section 9 below for more information on enabling, disabling and deleting cookies.
6.1 Functional cookies
Functional (necessary) cookies help to make our website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
By placing functional cookies, we make it easier for you to visit our website. This way, you do not need to repeatedly enter the same information when visiting our website and, for example, the items remain in your shopping cart until you have paid. Because these cookies are strictly necessary we may place these cookies without your consent.
6.2 Statistics cookies
We use statistics/analytics cookies to optimize the website experience for our users using insights about how visitors use our website, such as page views, and we ask your permission to place analytical cookies via the cookie pop up banner – see section 5 Consent above for more information.
6.3 Marketing cookies
We use marketing cookies to track visitors across our sites. This allows us, and other third-party companies, to provide you with more relevant, engaging and personalized marketing based on your preferences or interactions with other sites. We ask your permission to place marketing cookies via the cookie pop up banner – see section 5 Consent above for more information.
6.4 Social media buttons
On our website we have included buttons for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram to promote webpages (e.g. “like”, “pin”) or share (e.g. “tweet”) on social networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram. These buttons work using pieces of code coming from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram themselves. This code places cookies. These social media buttons also can store and process certain information, so a personalized advertisement can be shown to you.
Please read the privacy statement of these social networks (which can change regularly) to read what they do with your (personal) data which they process using these cookies. The data that is retrieved is anonymized as much as possible. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram are located in the United States.
