We use cookies on our website (www.hovis.co.uk), which amongst other things, help us to improve your experience of our website and to ensure that it performs as you expect it to. Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They can improve your experience of using a website, for example, by remembering your preference settings and tracking your use of a website so that it can be improved to meet your needs.
Websites must get consent to send cookies to your computer or mobile device unless the cookies are strictly necessary to provide services to you.
You can set your cookie preferences upon arrival at the website using the onscreen prompt that appears at the bottom of the screen. This highlights all cookies used across the website and allows you to choose which you are happy to accept. You can also remove selected cookies from your browser at any stage.
The tables below explain what cookies we use on our website, why we use them and whether they are strictly necessary or another type of cookie (i.e "statistics" cookies). We also state in the tables whether a cookie is a "persistent" or "session" cookie.
The difference is that:
Persistent cookies remain on your device between browsing sessions. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. For example, where a "persistent cookie" is used on a website to remember your log-in details, you will not need to enter those details each time you visit the website.
Session cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and finishes when you close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
Some of the cookies listed below are those set by our own website. However, we also have cookies on our website that are set by third parties – not Hovis.
