Our Cookie Policy

Here at Shopacheck Financial Services we realise that many people may not be familiar with cookies and other similar technologies, so we feel it’s important to shed some light on what they are and how they’re used to help our site visitors understand them a bit more. That way you can make informed decisions about your cookie preferences. Below you’ll find a guide to cookies in general, as well as more detail about the cookies used on the Shopacheck Financial Services website. Once you’ve read this information, you can choose to opt out of the use of cookies on our site if you wish.

If you choose to continue to browse our site without opting out, we will assume that you are happy with our use of cookies and will continue to use them throughout your visit.

What are cookies and how do we get your consent?

What cookies do we use here on Shopacheck.co.uk?

We only use Cookies here on the Shopacheck Website to ensure we're providing you the best possible levels of service, to help us make things even better for our customers, and to bring you personalised functionality as we continue to develop our website services.

What are cookies?

A "cookie" is a text file containing small amounts of information which a server downloads to your personal computer (PC) or mobile when you visit a website. The server then sends a cookie back to the originating website each time you subsequently visit it, or if you visit another website which recognises that cookie.
There are different types of cookies which are used to do different things, such as letting you navigate between different pages on a website efficiently, remembering preferences you have given a website and improving your overall experience. Others are used to provide you with advertising which is more tailored to your interests, or to measure the number of site visits and the most popular pages users visit.
Some cookies are allocated to your PC only for the duration of your visit to a website, and these are called "session" cookies. These automatically expire when you close down your browser.
Another type of cookie is known as a "persistent" cookie. These cookies remain on your PC for a period of time.

What are the new rules?

Website operators already have to give users information about the cookies they use and why they use them. Now they also have to have your consent to use them. In order to comply with these new rules, we have developed a system of classifying the different types of cookies which we use on shopacheck.co.uk, or which may be dropped by third parties through our websites. This system of classification is based on the purpose the cookies are used for, and also determines the way we will ask for your consent to use them.

Browser settings

Cookies can also be removed from your PC using browser settings but there will still be some deterioration in the service you receive (for example you may not be able to access a page you earlier personalised).
Your Internet Browser lets you choose whether to accept, not to accept or to be warned before accepting cookies. These can be found in the advanced preferences.

Other companies which advertise or offer their products or services on our website may also allocate cookies to your PC. The types of cookies they use and how they use the information generated by them will be governed by their own privacy policies and not ours.
