COOKIES POLICY

1. Introduction

Senator & Co (“Senator & Co”, “we”, “our” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on senatorandco.co.uk (“our Website”) to help the Website work properly, understand how it is used and improve the experience for visitors.

This Cookies Policy explains:

  • what cookies are;
  • the types of cookies we may use;
  • why we use them;
  • how third-party services may use cookies; and
  • how you can manage your cookie choices.

We aim to use cookies responsibly, transparently and in accordance with applicable UK privacy and electronic communications requirements.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website.

They can help a website:

  • work correctly;
  • remember choices and preferences;
  • understand how visitors use different pages;
  • improve performance and usability; and
  • measure the effectiveness of communications or marketing.

Some cookies are essential for a website to function properly. Others are optional and should only be used with your permission where consent is required.

3. Our Cookie Principles

Our approach is simple:

Essential First
 We use cookies that are necessary for the Website to operate securely and correctly.

Your Choice
 Where consent is required for optional cookies, you should be able to accept or reject them.

Transparency
 We aim to explain clearly what cookies are being used and why.

Privacy
 We do not use cookies to collect more personal information than is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Control
 You can change your cookie preferences or manage cookies through your browser.

4. Types of Cookies We May Use

Depending on the features and services operating on our Website, we may use the following categories.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for essential Website functions and cannot normally be switched off through our cookie controls.

They may be used for purposes such as:

  • Website security;
  • remembering privacy or cookie choices;
  • operating forms and Website functions;
  • managing sessions; and
  • maintaining reliable Website performance.

These cookies do not require consent where they are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the visitor.

Analytics & Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our Website.

For example, they may help us understand:

  • which pages are visited most often;
  • how visitors move around the Website;
  • how visitors arrive at the Website;
  • whether Website pages are working effectively; and
  • where the visitor experience could be improved.

Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, we will seek consent before using them as required by law.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies can help the Website remember choices you make and provide improved or more personalised functionality.

They may remember settings or preferences so you do not need to enter them again on future visits.

Where consent is required, these cookies will only be used after you have made your choice.

Marketing & Advertising Cookies

Where used, these cookies may help us understand the effectiveness of our marketing or provide more relevant advertising and communications.

They may also be placed by third-party advertising, social media or marketing services integrated with our Website.

We will not use non-essential marketing or advertising cookies without consent where consent is required.

5. Cookie Consent & Your Choices

When you first visit our Website, you may be shown a cookie notice or consent tool allowing you to manage optional cookies.

Depending on the cookies being used, you may be able to:

  • Accept All optional cookies;
  • Reject All optional cookies; or
  • Manage Preferences by cookie category.

Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent you from accessing the main content and services available through our Website.

Strictly necessary cookies may continue to operate because they are required for essential Website functions.

You can change your preferences later through our cookie settings where this facility is available.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some Website features or services may be provided by trusted third parties.

These could include services relating to:

  • Website analytics;

  • maps;
  • social media;
  • online forms;
  • security;
  • marketing; or
  • other Website functionality.

These providers may place or access cookies on your device when you interact with their services.

Where third-party cookies require consent, they should not be activated until the appropriate consent has been given.

Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy and cookie policies, so we recommend reviewing their policies where relevant.

7. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

  • see which cookies are stored;
  • delete individual or all cookies;
  • block cookies from particular websites;

8. How Long Do Cookies Last?

Session cookies normally expire when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies remain for a specified period or until they are deleted.

The duration depends on the purpose of the particular cookie and the service that provides it.
