Cookie policy

This website uses cookies.

We use cookies on this site to help us ensure the best possible digital experience for you, and to help us target our marketing more effectively.
Click "Accept all" to consent to our use of all cookies in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Or click "Only necessary" to only allow cookies absolutely necessary for the site to function.

This policy should be read in conjunction with Concern’s Privacy Policy.

What are cookies and similar technologies?

A cookie (like similar technologies such as pixels and software development kits) is a small text file that is placed on your device by websites. Some cookies improve security on a website or allow the website to function correctly. Other cookies enable the website to distinguish and remember you from other users of the website, and to understand your – and other users’ – browsing patterns, where you’ve come from and how you transact with organisations. This is normally done through the use of IP addresses or other online identifiers.

What cookies are placed on my devices?

The types of cookies that may be placed on your devices by any website and the purposes of those cookies can be broken down into four key categories:

Strictly necessary cookies: these cookies make our website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Statistical cookies: these cookies allow us to anonymously collect and report on numbers of visitors to our website, and to monitor how these users interact with the website as 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.

Marketing cookies: these cookies – and other ad technologies such as beacons, pixels and tags – help us serve relevant ads to you more effectively. They record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We sometimes share this information with trusted third party agencies.

Preference cookies: these cookies enable our website to remember information that changes the way the site behaves or looks to you e.g. your preferred language, or the region that you are in.

Information about our use of cookies

We only place those cookies which are strictly necessary for the website to function properly on your computer by default when you browse our websites. We ask for your consent to place all other cookies on your devices. Where you have selected a preference for only necessary cookies or where you have consented to all cookies, we will reconfirm your preferences if you return to our website after six months.

Where third parties assist us and our use of cookies, or where third parties place cookies on your devices via our website, they may be considered a joint controller or data processor depending on the relationship. We review these relationships and ensure suitable safeguards are in place (contractual or otherwise) with those third parties.

A full list of cookies, third party vendors and links to their privacy statements can be found below in the Cookie Declaration.

Can I prevent cookies and similar technologies being placed on my devices generally?
