Cookie Policy
The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) cover the use of cookies and similar technologies for storing information, and accessing information stored, on a user's equipment such as a computer or mobile device. Website owners are therefore required to notify their visitors on how cookies are used on their websites. PECR sits alongside the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) and the GDPR. It provides specific rules in relation to privacy and electronic communications. Where these rules apply, they take precedence over the DPA and the GDPR.
