This Cookie Policy explains how Peterhurst Holdings Limited uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.

It explains:

• what cookies are;
• which cookies and similar technologies we use;
• why we use them;
• how long they remain on your device;
• which third parties may receive information; and
• how you can manage or withdraw your choices.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more generally how we collect, use and protect personal information.

This website is operated by:

References in this policy to “Peterhurst”, “we”, “us” or “our” mean Peterhurst Holdings Limited.

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit them.

Cookies allow websites to store or access information on your device. They can be used to:

• make a website function correctly;
• remember preferences and choices;
• maintain security;
• understand how visitors use a website;
• measure website performance; and
• distinguish between individual users and browsing sessions.

Cookies may be set directly by the website you are visiting or by a third-party service used by that website.

In addition to cookies, websites may use similar storage and access technologies, including:

• browser local storage;
• session storage;
• tags;
• scripts;
• pixels; and
• software development tools.

Where this policy refers to “cookies”, this should be understood to include these similar technologies where appropriate.

Session cookies

Session cookies operate temporarily while your browser is open. They are normally deleted when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser. They expire after a defined period or when you delete them manually.

First-party cookies

First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting.

Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies are set by an external service used by the website, such as an analytics provider.

Our website uses, or may use, the following categories of cookies and similar technologies.

Strictly necessary technologies

These technologies are required for essential website functions.

They may be used to:

• maintain website security;
• prevent fraud or technical misuse;
• enable requested website features;
• process contact-form submissions; and
• remember your cookie choices.

Strictly necessary technologies cannot normally be disabled through our cookie preference controls because the website may not function properly without them.

Analytics cookies

With your permission, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website.

Analytics cookies help us understand:

• how many people visit the website;
• which pages are viewed;
• how visitors move between pages;
• how long visitors spend on the website;
• which websites, search engines or campaigns referred visitors;
• which devices and browsers are used; and
• whether visitors experience technical or usability issues.

Google Analytics cookies are not necessary for the website to function.

Where consent is required, they will not be placed on your device unless you choose to accept analytics cookies through our cookie banner or preference controls.

We do not use Google Analytics cookies for personalised advertising or remarketing.

The following table describes the principal cookies and similar technologies used or expected to be used on our website.

The exact expiry of a cookie may vary depending on:

• your browser;
• your device;
• how frequently you return to the website;
• the configuration of the relevant service; and
• whether you delete the cookie before its normal expiry.

We may update this table if our website, consent tool or service-provider configuration changes.

We use Google Analytics 4, a website analytics service provided by Google.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

• pages visited;
• approximate geographic location;
• browser and device information;
• operating system;
• referring website or source;
• time and date of visits;
• website interactions;
• session information; and
• truncated or processed Internet Protocol address information.

Google Analytics uses first-party cookies, including _ga and _ga_<measurement-id>, to distinguish users and maintain session information.

We use Google Analytics to create aggregated reports and improve the content, usability and performance of our website.

We do not intentionally send your name, email address, contact-form message or other directly identifying contact information to Google Analytics.

Google may process analytics information outside the United Kingdom. Further information about international transfers and how we protect personal information is provided in our Privacy Policy.

You can reject Google Analytics through our cookie banner or cookie settings without losing access to the main content and functionality of our website.

Our website uses Resend to process and deliver messages submitted through our contact form.

When you submit the contact form, information such as your name, email address and message is sent to Resend so that the enquiry can be delivered to us.

Resend is an email-delivery provider rather than a website analytics service. Resend does not require Google Analytics cookies for your message to be submitted.

The processing of the information entered into the contact form is explained in our Privacy Policy.

The contact form or our website infrastructure may use strictly necessary security measures to:

• transmit your message;
• prevent spam or automated submissions;
• identify technical faults; and
• protect the website and contact form against misuse.

Where these measures store or access information on your device, they will only be used where necessary for the requested service or website security.

When you first visit our website, you may be shown a cookie banner that allows you to:

• accept analytics cookies;
• reject analytics cookies; or
• review and manage your preferences.

Rejecting analytics cookies will not prevent you from viewing the website or using the contact form.

We will not treat inactivity, continued browsing or a pre-selected option as consent to non-essential cookies.

You can change or withdraw your consent to analytics cookies at any time through the cookie settings link available on our website.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred before your consent was withdrawn.

When you withdraw consent:

• we will stop using analytics cookies for future visits, subject to the technical operation of your browser;
• previously created cookies may be deleted by our consent tool where technically possible; and
• you may also delete existing cookies through your browser settings.

Your preference may be stored using a strictly necessary cookie or local-storage record so that the website remembers your choice.

Most internet browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• view stored cookies;
• delete individual cookies;
• delete all cookies;
• block cookies from particular websites;
• block third-party cookies;
• prevent all cookies; or
• receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

The method for managing cookies differs between browsers. Refer to the privacy, security or cookie settings within your browser for further instructions.

Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of some websites. However, rejecting analytics cookies on our website should not prevent access to its principal content or contact functionality.

In addition to our cookie settings, Google provides a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on that is designed to prevent information from being made available to Google Analytics.

You may also be able to restrict cookies through your browser, device or privacy-software settings.

Using these controls does not automatically remove information that may have been collected before you opted out.

Our website contains links to websites operated by our Group businesses and other third parties.

When you follow a link to another website, that website may use its own cookies and similar technologies.

We do not control cookies placed by independent third-party websites. You should review the cookie and privacy information provided by the operator of the website you visit.

Simply displaying an external link on our website does not cause that external website’s cookies to be placed on your device.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect:

• changes to the cookies or technologies used on our website;
• changes to Google Analytics or Resend;
• changes to our cookie-consent system;
• changes to our website functionality; or
• legal and regulatory developments.

The latest version will be published on our website. The date at the top of this policy will show when it was most recently updated.

Where we introduce a materially different use of non-essential cookies, we may ask you to provide your consent again.
