Cookies
Last updated 31/10/2024
As with many websites, we use cookies to help us manage and improve our site. A cookie is a tiny data file which is stored on your computer, within the web browser, when certain web pages are visited.
When you visit our website (www.johngreed.com) you will come across cookies we have set directly, known as first-party cookies, as well as cookies set by other organisations, which are known as third-party cookies.
We will automatically use some cookies that are strictly necessary to provide our services and allow the website to operate, for everything else - we need your consent. That's why when you first visited our website you were asked for permission to use these non-essential cookies, like Google Analytics.
If you don’t want to enable the non-essential cookies, you can still browse the site but some features might be limited.
Cookies very rarely contain any directly identifiable personal information, but they do contain unique identifiers. We are compliant with all relevant data protection legislation, for more information on how we process personal data, or to get in touch with us, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Why we use Cookies
Normal Site Operations
Cookies allow us to manage and operate our website. Without them, we wouldn’t know where you were on the site, you wouldn’t be able to navigate between pages, send us messages, or sign up for our newsletter. No consent is required for these strictly necessary cookies.
Google Analytics
These cookies give us really useful insights into how people use our website. We cannot identify individuals from these cookies, we just get statistics about website usage.
Adobe E-Commerce
Adobe E-Commerce (previously known as Magento) hosts our website, and certain essential cookies are used as outlined below.
Social Media
Like many other websites, we provide social media icons that allow you to view and share content. We are responsible for the processing of any information whilst you are on our website, and the cookies allow these buttons to work so that you are transferred to the social media platform.
Web Beacons
When we send you an email, it might contain a web beacon (also known as a ‘tracking pixel’), which tells us about your interaction with the email.
Through the beacon, we might capture your IP address and the date / time you opened or interacted with the email and record the links you click. We use this information to get a better idea of which emails you find interesting, and then amalgamate the information into wider statistics to see if our marketing campaigns are working.
Managing Web Beacons
By setting your email provider to ‘display HTML emails as text only’ you may be able to stop some web beacons. You should visit the ‘help’ section of your email provider for more information.
Managing Cookies
Below is a full list of the cookies used on our website, to find out more about managing cookies on your device or web browser, take a look at the following guides:
Each browser is different, so check the 'Help' menu of your particular browser (or your mobile phone's handset manual) to learn how to change your cookie preferences.
