Use of cookies by Weightmans

This Cookie Policy provides information about the different types of cookies Weightmans uses on this website and why we use them. This website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of the website.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or the hard drive of your computer by websites that you visit. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, delivering a better and more personalised service, including the storing of information about your preferences and allowing us to recognise you when you return to our websites.

Which cookies do we use?

We use the following cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies (“Necessary”). These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, a cookie to preserve your choice of cookies and a cookie to allow logged in users to access password protected areas of our websites.
  • Analytical or performance cookies (“Analytical”). These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
  • Functionality cookies (“Functional”). These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, cookies which allow an embedded video player to work effectively).

You can choose which analytical and functionality cookies we can set by clicking on the slider (in relation to analytical cookies) or choosing whether to play relevant YouTube videos via our website (in relation to functional cookies)
