Man and Van Bow Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Man and Van Bow uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website, you agree to the use of cookies as outlined in this policy, subject to your chosen settings.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. Cookies can be set by the website owner, known as first party cookies, or by third parties providing services on the website, known as third party cookies.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on the Man and Van Bow website to support functionality, performance monitoring, and marketing activities tailored to our services.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain core features would not function correctly. They enable you to move around the site, use secure areas, and submit forms such as quote or booking requests. These cookies do not gather information about you for marketing purposes and are usually set only in response to actions you take that request a service, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling out a form.

Because essential cookies are required for the proper functioning of the site, they cannot generally be switched off via our systems. However, you can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, although some parts of the website may then not work properly.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Man and Van Bow website so we can monitor and improve its performance. These cookies collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how users navigate between pages, and whether error messages are encountered. The information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors.

We use analytics data to measure the effectiveness of our content, to identify areas where users might experience difficulties, and to guide improvements to our layout, navigation, and services. For example, if analytics cookies show that a particular page is frequently abandoned, we may review and update that page to make it clearer or faster.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may be set through our website by third party advertising partners or service providers. These cookies can help limit the number of times you see an advert and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns related to our man and van services.

Marketing cookies may track your visits to our website and other sites in order to build a profile of your interests. This information can then be used to show you tailored adverts for services such as local removals, small moves, and transport solutions offered by Man and Van Bow.

Purpose of Cookies for Performance Monitoring

One of the key purposes of using cookies on the Man and Van Bow website is to monitor and improve performance. By collecting aggregated data on page load times, navigation paths, and interaction patterns, we can identify technical issues, optimise our pages, and ensure a smoother experience for users.

Performance monitoring enables us to understand how quickly content loads, how often visitors experience errors, and which devices or browsers might need additional support. This helps us maintain a reliable website that supports efficient booking and enquiry processes, especially during busy periods.

User Control and Managing Cookies

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. When you first visit the Man and Van Bow website, you may be presented with options to manage your cookie preferences. You can choose to accept or reject non essential cookies, such as analytics and marketing cookies, while still allowing essential cookies that are required for the site to function.

In addition to on site controls, most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can usually configure your browser to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive notifications before cookies are stored. Please note that if you disable certain types of cookies, some features of our website may not work as intended, and your overall user experience may be affected.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or the way we operate our website and services. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the revised policy will apply from the date it is published. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies at Man and Van Bow.
