Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files or similar pieces of information that may be stored on, or accessed from, a device when a website is visited.

Similar technologies may also be used to store or access information on a device. This policy therefore refers to cookies and similar storage or access technologies together where appropriate.

Some technologies are required for the website to function correctly, while others may be used only where the applicable requirements for their use have been satisfied.

Why cookies may be used

Cookies and similar technologies may be used where appropriate to support the operation of this website and the services available through it.

Types of cookies

The website may use different categories of cookies or similar technologies depending on the features currently active on the website.

Strictly necessary technologies

Some storage or access technologies may be used without consent where the applicable rules provide an exemption because the technology is strictly necessary for a service requested by the visitor or for another applicable exempt purpose.

Examples may include technologies required for website security, form operation, session management or a specific function requested by a visitor.

Preference technologies

Where the website uses technology to remember a visitor’s preferences, the purpose and duration of that technology will be considered in accordance with applicable requirements.

Where consent is required, the relevant technology will not be enabled before the required consent has been obtained.

A visitor may be able to change or remove stored preferences through the website’s available controls or through browser settings.

Statistical technologies

If website measurement technology is used, it may provide general information about how visitors use the website, such as which pages receive visits or whether website functions are operating as expected.

Any statistical technology will be assessed according to its actual purpose and configuration. Where consent is required, it will be obtained before the relevant technology is used.

Statistical information will not be described as anonymous unless the actual configuration supports that description.

Third-party services

Certain website functions may rely on services provided by organisations other than Northgate House RTM Company Limited.

Where an external service places or accesses information on a visitor’s device, the relevant service must be considered as part of the website’s cookie and similar technology arrangements.

Third-party providers may process technical information according to their own terms and privacy information. The specific provider and technology used may change as website functionality is updated.

Google Maps

The website may display a Google Maps map showing the business location of Northgate House RTM Company Limited.

Where the Google Maps service or an embedded map loads content from Google, Google may process technical information associated with the request and the device used to access the map.

The operation of the Google Maps service is controlled by Google and is subject to Google’s own privacy and technology practices.

Where applicable requirements require user choice before an embedded third-party technology is loaded, the website will use the relevant control before that technology is enabled.

Consent and control

Where consent is required for a cookie or similar storage or access technology, consent must involve a clear and affirmative choice.

Non-essential technologies will not be treated as accepted merely because a visitor continues browsing the website.

Consent is not required for a technology where an applicable legal exemption applies. The relevant exemption depends on the actual purpose and use of the technology.

How long cookies remain

Cookie duration depends on the purpose of the particular technology.

There is no universal legal period that applies to every cookie. The duration should be proportionate to the intended purpose and limited to what is necessary to achieve that purpose.

Where a technology or its purpose changes, the duration and applicable consent requirements will be reviewed.

Browser controls

Most modern browsers allow visitors to view, block, delete or restrict cookies through their settings.

Blocking strictly necessary technologies may affect the operation of some website functions.

Review of cookie use

The cookies and similar technologies used by a website can change when plugins, themes, embedded services, security tools or other website functions are updated.

We therefore review the website’s storage and access technologies periodically and when material changes are made to website functionality.

Where a new technology requires information, consent or another control under applicable requirements, the relevant arrangement will be considered before that technology is used.
