Cookie Policy
When it comes to cookies, our main policy is transparency. Cookies are small pieces of data which are stored for you on your computer by your web browser. They're used to improve your online experience by almost every website, including our own – which is one of the reasons we think it's important that you understand how cookies work, what they're for, and when they're being used. We want to make sure you're comfortable using them – so you can get the most out of our website.
The basics of cookies are outlined on this page which explains some of the changes we've made as a result of the EU Cookie legislation, introduced in 2011. For further details please see our Privacy Policy or contact us at enquiries@glslofts.co.uk For information about our use of Google Analytics please see below.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are sent to and stored on your computer, smartphone or other device used to access the internet, whenever you visit a website. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise the device you are using. At GLS Lofts, we use cookies for a variety of reasons, such as to determine preferences, let users navigate between pages efficiently, verify the user and carry out other essential security checks. Some of the functions that cookies perform can also be achieved using alternatives to cookies. This policy refers to 'cookies' throughout, however it may refer to these alternative mechanisms where appropriate. More information about cookies can be found on allaboutcookies.org
What has changed and how does this affect me?
We have always used cookies to create the most effective website for our clients. As part of a change in legislation, all websites are now required to provide additional information on what cookies are, how they are used and what benefits they bring.
These changes will not affect the way in which you currently use our website. In addition, we are working with our service providers on further changes that will allow you to amend your preferences for certain cookies on our website. You may also find from time to time that the third parties we work with and link to via glslofts.co.uk have their own cookie policy and may ask you to set your cookie preferences with them.
Do I need to accept cookies?
The current changes to our website simply explain what cookies are, how we use them and what benefits they bring. You are not currently required to do anything, other than read our Cookie Policy to understand these changes.
Do GLS Lofts' cookies contain my personal information?
Our cookies do not store personal information such as your name, address, telephone or email. We may from time to time use a small number of cookies that store encrypted versions of information where you have asked us to, such as a 'Remember me' function that allows us to remember your username for subsequent visits to membership areas of our website. However, this is encrypted so that only GLS Lofts can read this information.
Do cookies mean I could get cold calls or junk mail?
We never use the data gathered through cookies to contact you via post, email or phone. We may use cookies to show you subtly tailored content on our site of things we think you might be interested in, but only in relation to GLS Lofts' products and services. You will never see advertising on our website from anyone other than GLS Lofts and our close associates
Can cookies allow others to access my computer's hard drive?
Our cookies only work to make our website more useful for you. The cookies we use cannot look into your computer, smartphone or web-enabled device to obtain information about you or your family or read any material kept on your hard drive.
If I use a public computer, will someone be able to get my details from the cookies?
Our cookies cannot be used by anyone else who has access to the computer to find out anything about you, other than the fact that someone using the computer may have visited a certain website. Our cookies do not in any way compromise the security of your browsing. More information about cookies can be found on allaboutcookies.org
