Cookies and how they benefit you

Our website uses cookies, as almost all websites do, to help provide you with the best experience we can. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile phone when you browse websites. You can learn more about cookies at whatarecookies.com.

The cookies on our website help us:

  • Make our website work as you’d expect
  • Remember your settings during and between visits
  • Improve the speed/security of the site
  • Continuously improve our website for you
  • Make our marketing more efficient (ultimately helping us to offer the service we do at the price we do)

We do not use cookies to:

  • Collect any personally identifiable information (without your express permission)
  • Collect any sensitive information (without your express permission)
  • Pass data to advertising networks
  • Pass personally identifiable data to third parties
  • Pay sales commissions

You can learn more about the types of cookies we use below.

Granting us permission to use cookies

If your browser is set to accept cookies, we take this, and your continued use of our website, to mean that you are fine with this. Should you wish to remove or not use cookies from our site, you can learn how to do this below. However, doing this may mean that our site will not work as you would expect.

Turning cookies off

You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings. Doing so, however, may limit the functionality of this website and a large proportion of all others as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites.

It may be that you concerns around cookies relate to so-called "spyware". Rather than switching off cookies in your browser you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.

Our cookies

Website function cookies

We use cookies to make our website work including:

  • Remembering your search settings

There is no way to prevent these cookies being set, other than to not use our site.

'Anonymous visitor statistics' cookies

We use cookies to compile visitor statistics, such as how many people have visited our website, what computer platform they are using, how long they spend on the site, what page they look at, etc. This helps us to continuously improve our website. We can also find out, on an anonymous basis, how people reached our site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before – helping us to put more money into developing our services for you instead of marketing spend.

Other questions about our use of cookies

If you have any questions about our cookie policy, or specific cookies, please email us at privacy@optify.net.
