Cookies Policy

The Cookie Notice below applies to the website www.fohen.co.uk , which is administered by Fohen Limited, Trafalgar House, Bertie Ward Way, Dereham, Norfolk, NR19 1JG

This notice is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how Hub uses them and the choices you have in regards to their use.

By continuing to use www.fohen.co.uk  (the “Site”), you are agreeing to our use of cookies in the manner described in this notice.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or the hard drive of your computer or other device when you visit the Site. This allows the Site to recognise you as a user either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits ( a ‘persistent cookie’). They are not harmful and do not contain any information such as your home address, date of birth or credit card details.

The cookies we use fall into four broad types:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential in helping you to move around our Site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, such as setting up an account cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you’ve been on the internet.

Analytical/Performance Cookies

In order to keep the Site, its services and products relevant, easy to use and up-to-date, we use web analytics services to help us understand how people use our Site. For example, we can see which parts of the Site and products are most popular, identify when errors occur, and test different versions of a page or feature to see which one works best.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow websites and applications to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymised which means we can’t identify you personally. They do not gather any information about you that could be used for selling advertising or remembering where you’ve been on the internet, but do help us to serve you with advertising that is more relevant to you.

Targeted Marketing Cookies

We may also use cookies to assist in targeted advertising. Without these cookies, any online advertisements you encounter will be less relevant to you and your interests. We may also use them to measure the effectiveness of our marketing communications, for example by telling us if you have responded to an advert that we have sent you.
