1. Use of cookies
A cookie is a text file that we store on your computer (or other electronic device), with your consent, when you access our website. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive.
We use the following cookies:
- Analytical/performance cookies. They allow Paul Dwyer Electrical to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps Paul Dwyer Electrical to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
- Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables Paul Dwyer Electrical to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
- Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
The information we obtain from our use of cookies will not usually contain your personal data. Although we may obtain information about your computer or other electronic device such as your IP address, your browser and/or other internet log information, this will not usually identify you personally. In certain circumstances we may collect personal information about you — but only where you voluntarily provide it (for example by completing an online form or calling us) or where you purchase goods or services from Paul Dwyer Electrical.
In most cases we will need your consent in order to use cookies on this website. The exception is where the cookie is essential in order for Paul Dwyer Electrical to provide you with a service you have requested (for example to enable you to put items in your shopping basket and use our check-out process).
