1. About this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how PMP Surfacing Ltd (“we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at www.pmpsurfacing.co.uk (the “Website”).

​

The Website is an information and service website for PMP Surfacing Ltd. It provides information about our surfacing services, company news and other content. It also includes a live news/blog section where visitors may be able to comment on and interact with posts.

The Website is built using Wix, although it is accessed through our own domain.

​

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more generally how we collect, use and protect personal information.

 

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies and similar technologies can be used for different purposes, including:

• making a website function correctly;

• keeping a website secure;

• remembering your preferences;

• understanding how visitors use the website;

• measuring website performance;

• improving our content and services; and

• providing or supporting interactive website features.

The term “cookies” in this policy also includes similar technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device.

 

3. The cookies and technologies we use

The cookies and similar technologies used on our Website fall broadly into the following categories.

 

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the Website to operate properly and securely.

Some are provided by Wix, which provides the technology used to build and host our Website.

They may be used for purposes including:

• website security;

• preventing fraudulent or malicious activity;

• maintaining website functionality;

• remembering essential website settings;

• maintaining user sessions; and

• providing features that you have requested.

 

Because these technologies are necessary for the operation of the Website or a service you have requested, they may be used without consent where an applicable legal exemption applies.

Wix may use cookies for purposes including security, site functionality and monitoring the performance and effectiveness of its platform.

 

3.2 Analytics cookies

With your consent, we use analytics services to understand how visitors use our Website.

We currently intend to use:

• Google Analytics, provided by Google; and

• Microsoft/Bing analytics services, where applicable.

These services may collect information such as:

• how visitors arrive at our Website;

• which pages are visited;

• how long visitors spend on pages;

• how visitors navigate through the Website;

• interactions with website content;

• approximate location information;

• device and browser information;

• Website performance information; and

• other information used to measure and improve Website performance.

 

We use this information to help us understand how our Website is being used and to improve our Website, content, services and marketing. Analytics technologies will only be activated where the applicable consent requirements have been satisfied.

​

3.3 Social media

 

We use social-media platforms to communicate with customers and promote our services.

Our Website may contain links to our social-media profiles, such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or other platforms.

Where a social-media link simply takes you from our Website to the relevant social-media platform, clicking that link may result in the social-media provider processing information about your visit once you leave our Website.

We may also use social-media functionality or embedded content on the Website in the future.

Where social-media services use cookies or similar technologies on our Website, we will provide appropriate information and obtain consent where required.

Social-media providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.

 

3.4 Blog, comments and likes

 

Our Website includes a news/blog section which may allow visitors to comment on and/or like posts.

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to support these features.

Depending on how these features are configured, they may be used to:

• maintain a user session;

• remember whether a visitor is logged in;

• enable comments or likes;

• record interactions with posts;

• help prevent spam, abuse or fraudulent activity; and

• maintain the security of the commenting system.

 

Some technologies required to provide these features may be strictly necessary, while others may require consent depending on how the relevant feature operates.

Where a third-party service is used to provide commenting, liking or other interactive functionality, that provider may also process information in accordance with its own privacy policy.

 

3.5 Wix technologies

Although our Website uses our own domain, the Website is built and hosted using Wix technology.

Wix may therefore use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential website functionality, security, performance and other services.

​

The exact cookies used may change depending on the Wix features, applications and integrations enabled on our Website.

We will review our cookie information periodically to reflect the technologies actually in use on the Website.

 

4. Our cookie consent banner

When you first visit our Website, we will display a cookie consent banner to provide information about our use of cookies and similar technologies and to allow you to manage your preferences.

The banner will allow you to make choices about optional cookies, including analytics and other non-essential technologies.

Depending on the configuration of the banner, you may be able to:

• accept all cookies;

• reject optional cookies; or

• manage your cookie preferences by category.

​

Where consent is required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will not be activated until you have provided the appropriate consent.

​

For example, Google Analytics and other optional analytics technologies will not be activated before the relevant consent has been obtained.

​

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie settings available on our Website.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

We will not treat simply continuing to browse or use our Website as consent to optional cookies where consent is required.

 

5. Managing your cookie preferences

You will be able to change your cookie preferences after your initial choice by using the Cookie Settings option on our Website.

If you reject optional cookies, you will still be able to access the main content of our Website. However, some optional functionality may not operate in the same way.

​

You can also control cookies through your web browser, although browser settings may not provide the same level of control as our cookie consent mechanism.

 

6. Managing cookies through your browser

Most web browsers allow you to:

• view cookies stored on your device;

• delete existing cookies;

• block cookies;

• block third-party cookies; or

• receive a warning before cookies are stored.

​

Please be aware that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our Website, particularly features that are necessary for the Website to operate.

 

7. Third-party services

Some cookies and similar technologies used on our Website may be provided by third parties.

These may include:

• Wix;

• Google Analytics;

• Microsoft/Bing analytics services; and

• social-media providers.

​

Third-party providers may receive information collected through their technologies and may process that information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

​

We do not control the privacy practices of third-party providers and recommend that you review their privacy information where appropriate.
