Privacy Policy &
Website Terms of Use
The following outlines our privacy policy when accessing www.michaelwilsonandson.co.uk
Our website address is www.michaelwilsonandson.co.uk
Your privacy is important to us. Accordingly, we have developed this policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate and make use of personal information.
The website will learn certain information about you during your visit:
Similar to other commercial websites, our website utilises a standard technology called ‘cookies’ (see explanation below) and server logs to collect information about how our site is used.
Information gathered through cookies and server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent on the site, and the websites visited just before and just after our own, as well as your IP address, but does not include any personally identifiable information.
Use of Cookies
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that site's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.
IP Addresses
IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data known as “traffic data” so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you.
