Merton Man and Van Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Merton Man and Van uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. By continuing to use our website after seeing the cookie notice, you agree that we may store and access cookies as described in this policy, unless you have adjusted your browser settings to refuse cookies.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They help the website recognise your device, store certain information, and improve your browsing experience. Some cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for a set period or until you remove them.

Why We Use Cookies

Merton Man and Van uses cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, to understand how visitors use our pages, and to support our marketing and service improvement activities. Cookies allow us to monitor performance, identify issues such as slow-loading pages, and make our website more useful and efficient for visitors.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the Merton Man and Van website. Without these cookies, certain features and services would not function properly. They are typically set in response to actions you take on the site, such as filling in forms, navigating between pages, or accessing secure areas of the website. Because they are required for the website to work, essential cookies cannot usually be disabled through our systems, although you can still block them in your browser settings, which may cause parts of the site to stop working as intended.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Merton Man and Van website. These cookies collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users spend on each page, and what links are clicked. The data is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors. We use this information to measure website performance, identify popular content, and make improvements to navigation, layout, and functionality. By analysing trends and usage patterns, we can refine our services and provide a better online experience.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to help us deliver content and promotions that are more relevant to your interests. They may remember that you have visited our website and can be used to tailor advertising messages on other platforms. These cookies may also help us measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns by showing which adverts or messages lead users to visit our site or request our services. If you choose to disable marketing cookies, you may still see advertising, but it may be less relevant to your preferences.

Performance Monitoring and Service Improvement

We rely on cookies, particularly analytics cookies, to monitor the performance of the Merton Man and Van website. This includes tracking page load times, error messages, and user navigation paths. By assessing this data, we can identify technical problems, improve reliability, and ensure that our pages load efficiently on a range of devices and browsers. Performance monitoring helps us maintain a smooth user experience and supports ongoing enhancements to our services.

Your Cookie Choices and Control

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings, including blocking all cookies, accepting only certain types, or deleting cookies already stored on your device. If you choose to block essential cookies, some features of the Merton Man and Van website may not function correctly, and your overall experience may be affected. You can usually find cookie management options in the privacy or security section of your browser settings. You may also be able to activate a setting known as Do Not Track, although not all websites or technologies currently respond to this signal.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our services. Any changes will take effect when the updated policy is published on the Merton Man and Van website. We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and how you can manage your preferences.
