1. USE OF COOKIES BY CALTHORPE ESTATES

1.1 Our websites use cookies. A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers put on your computer or the device that you use to access our websites. Cookies have many uses, for example to distinguish you from other users of the websites, which helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our websites and allows us to improve our websites.

1.2 Some cookies are essential for our websites to work and others remember things about you to give you a better, more enjoyable online experience. They may also help us to create content, advertise our products and services, and personalise our offers to you.

1.3 Below you will find more details about each type of cookie set by our websites and what it does. You’ll also see us talk about whether a cookie is first party or third party, and if it’s a session or persistent cookie. First party cookies are created directly by our websites, whilst third party cookies are created by other organisations, and are typically used for tracking and advertising across different websites. Session cookies are temporary and will be deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are saved within your browser and are only deleted if you clear your browsing data yourself or if they reach their expiry date.

2. CONSENTING TO COOKIES

2.1 When you first visit any of our websites, you are given the choice of either accepting or declining all non-essential cookies or you can just accept certain categories of non-essential cookies. You cannot make these choices for any essential cookies used on our websites which will always be set by our websites (see paragraph 2.4.1 below). The setting that you choose on one of our websites will then be remembered for future visits to that website, though if you have cleared out cookies in your browser you will be asked to consent to cookies again when you next visit our website. Also the cookie that remembers your settings will expire after a certain period, and if you revisit our website after it has expired you will need to reselect your cookie preferences. The persistent cookies set by our websites have varying lifespans, so if you are revisiting one of our websites after this period then you may be asked to make your cookie selections again. The same will apply if you visit one of our different websites to those which you have visited previously, as each of our websites will require you to select your cookie preferences for that website.

2.2 If you ever want to change those cookie settings at any time, all you need to do is click on the cookie symbol appearing on the bottom left hand side of your screen to be able to update them. Whatever settings you choose, any essential cookies will stay turned on. Turning some cookies off might affect your browsing experience, so to avoid that we would suggest consenting to all cookies and making sure that all cookies are enabled in your browser settings.

2.3 If you change your cookie settings from a previous visit to that website, then your new selection will change the cookies set during that website browsing session, but will not change or delete the cookies set by you on the same website during any previous website browsing session. To remove any non-essential persistent cookies which you have previously consented to being set you will need to clear out the relevant cookies from your browser or wait until they expire.

• Distinguish unique users
