1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your choices, and to give website owners information about how a site is used. Similar technologies, such as local storage and tracking pixels, work in much the same way and are covered by this policy.

2. How we use cookies

We group cookies into four categories:

  • Strictly necessary: needed for the Website to work and to remember your cookie choices. These do not need your consent and cannot be switched off.

  • Analytics: help us understand how visitors use the Website, for example which pages are visited most, so we can improve it. We only set these if you consent.

  • Functional: remember choices you make or provide features such as embedded maps. We only set these with your consent, unless they are strictly necessary for a feature you have asked for.

  • Marketing: used to show advertising or to track you across websites. [Key Smith does not use marketing cookies.]
