This Cookie Policy
explains how HouseDevelop ("Company", "we",
"us" and "our") uses cookies and
similar technologies to recognise you when you
visit our websites at http://www.jcwatson.co.uk, ("Websites").
It explains what these technologies are and why
we use them, as well as your rights to control
our use of them.
In some cases we may
use cookies to collect personal information, or
that becomes personal information if we combine
it with other information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small
data files that are placed on your computer or
mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies
are widely used by website owners in order to
make their websites work, or to work more
efficiently, as well as to provide reporting
information.
Cookies set by the
website owner (in this case, HouseDevelop) are
called "first party cookies". Cookies set by
parties other than the website owner are called
"third party cookies". Third party cookies
enable third party features or functionality to
be provided on or through the website (e.g. like
advertising, interactive content and analytics).
The parties that set these third party cookies
can recognise your computer both when it visits
the website in question and also when it visits
certain other websites.
Why do we use
cookies?
We use first and
third party cookies for several reasons. Some
cookies are required for technical reasons in
order for our Websites to operate and we refer
to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary"
cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track
and target the interests of our users to enhance
the experience on our Online Properties. Third
parties serve cookies through our Websites for
advertising, analytics and other purposes. This
is described in more detail below.
The specific types of
first and third party cookies served through our
Websites and the purposes they perform are
described below (please note that the specific
cookies served may vary depending on the
specific Online Properties you visit):
How can I control
cookies?
You have the right to
decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You
can exercise your cookie rights by setting your
preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The
Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select
which categories of cookies you accept or
reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as
they are strictly necessary to provide you with
services.
The Cookie Consent
Manager can be found in the notification banner
and on our website. If you choose to reject
cookies, you may still use our website though
your access to some functionality and areas of
our website may be restricted. You may also set
or amend your web browser controls to accept or
refuse cookies. As the means by which you can
refuse cookies through your web browser controls
vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit
your browser's help menu for more information.
In addition, most
advertising networks offer you a way to opt out
of targeted advertising. If you would like to
find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.
The specific types of
first and third party cookies served through our
Websites and the purposes they perform are

What about other
tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the
only way to recognise or track visitors to a
website. We may use other, similar technologies
from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes
called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These
are tiny graphics files that contain a unique
identifier that enable us to recognise when
someone has visited our Websites or opened an
e-mail including them. This allows us, for
example, to monitor the traffic patterns of
users from one page within a website to another,
to deliver or communicate with cookies, to
understand whether you have come to the website
from an online advertisement displayed on a
third-party website, to improve site
performance and to measure the success of
e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances,
these technologies are reliant on cookies to
function properly and so declining cookies will
impair their functioning.
Do you use Flash
cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use
so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local
Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other
things, collect and store information about your
use of our services, fraud prevention and for
other site operations.
If you do not want
Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can
adjust the settings of your Flash player to
block Flash Cookies storage using the tools
contained in the Website
Storage Settings Panel. You can also control
Flash Cookies by going to the Global
Storage Settings Paneland following the
instructions (which may include instructions
that explain, for example, how to delete
existing Flash Cookies (referred to
"information" on the Macromedia site), how to
prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your
computer without your being asked and (for
Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash
Cookies that are not being delivered by the
operator of the page you are on at the time).
Please note that
setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit
acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede
the functionality of some Flash applications,
including, potentially, Flash applications used
in connection with our services or online
content.
Do you serve
targeted advertising?
Third parties may
serve cookies on your computer or mobile device
to serve advertising through our Websites. These
companies may use information about your visits
to this and other websites in order to provide
relevant advertisements about goods and services
that you may be interested in. They may also
employ technology that is used to measure the
effectiveness of advertisements. This can be
accomplished by them using cookies or web
beacons to collect information about your visits
to this and other sites in order to provide
relevant advertisements about goods and services
of potential interest to you. The information
collected through this process does not enable
us or them to identify your name, contact
details or other details that directly identify
you unless you choose to provide these.
How often will you
update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this
Cookie Policy from time to time in order to
reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we
use or for other operational, legal or
regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit
this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed
about our use of cookies and related
technologies.
The date at the top
of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last
updated.
