Bow Man and Van Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Bow Man and Van uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. It outlines what cookies are, the types of cookies used, the purposes for which they are used, and how you can manage or disable them through your browser settings.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences or actions. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function, while others support performance monitoring, analytics, and marketing activities.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of the Bow Man and Van website. Without these cookies, certain core features and services cannot be provided. They enable functions such as secure page navigation, access to protected areas, and the correct display of pages and forms.

These cookies do not collect information for marketing purposes and are generally only set in response to actions you take, such as filling in forms or adjusting privacy settings. Because they are necessary for the website to work, you cannot opt out of essential cookies through the site, though you can block them in your browser settings. Doing so may affect the performance and availability of the site.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the Bow Man and Van website. This includes data such as which pages are visited most often, how users move around the site, and whether they encounter errors or broken pages. The information gathered is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors.

The main purpose of analytics cookies is performance monitoring. They help us understand how well the site is functioning, which content is most useful, and where improvements are needed. By analysing trends and user behaviour, we can make the site faster, more reliable, and easier to use.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and messages that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may be set by Bow Man and Van or by third parties that provide advertising or marketing services. These cookies can remember that you have visited our website and may be used to show you targeted adverts or information on other websites.

Marketing cookies also allow us to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns by tracking interactions such as clicks, conversions, or enquiries generated from online promotions. The information collected may be combined with other data sources to build a better picture of how our services are discovered and used.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

Performance monitoring is a key reason Bow Man and Van uses cookies, particularly analytics cookies. By tracking site speed, error rates, navigation paths, and usage patterns, we can identify technical issues, improve loading times, and optimise content layout.

This monitoring helps ensure that visitors can quickly find relevant information about our services, request quotes, and access resources without unnecessary delays. It also supports ongoing site maintenance and future development, enabling us to make evidence-based decisions that enhance user experience.

Your Cookie Choices and Control

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can change your browser settings to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive notifications before cookies are stored.

If you choose to disable or delete certain cookies, especially essential cookies, parts of the Bow Man and Van website may not function correctly. Features such as remembering your preferences or maintaining a session between pages may be limited. However, you can still use the site for basic browsing.

To manage cookies, please refer to the help section or settings menu in your browser. There you can find options to block or delete cookies and to manage privacy settings. Changes you make in your browser will apply to all websites you visit, not just Bow Man and Van.

Bow Man and Van may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. You are encouraged to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how cookies are used on our website.
