It should be read alongside our Privacy Notice, which explains more generally how we collect and use personal information.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that websites can store on your computer, phone or other device.

They can be used for purposes such as:

• making a website work properly;

• protecting a website against misuse;

• remembering choices or preferences;

• understanding how visitors use a website;

• measuring the effectiveness of advertising; and

• supporting online advertising.

Similar technologies can perform the same or related functions without necessarily using a traditional cookie. These include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and similar browser technologies.

In this policy, references to cookies include these similar technologies where appropriate.

3. The types of cookies we use

We divide the technologies used on our website into the following categories.

Strictly necessary and security technologies

These are required for the website to operate properly, securely or to provide a service you have requested.

They may be used for purposes including:

• website security;

• fraud and abuse prevention;

• maintaining website functionality;

• remembering your cookie preferences;

• protecting forms against spam or automated submissions; and

• enabling essential WordPress and hosting functionality.

These technologies do not require your consent where their use falls within an applicable legal exemption.

You cannot disable technologies that are genuinely necessary for the website to operate, although you may be able to block them through your browser. Doing so may affect how the website works.

Analytics technologies

Analytics help us understand how people use our website.

This can include information such as:

• which pages are visited;

• how visitors arrive at the website;

• how long visitors spend on particular pages;

• device and browser types;

• approximate geographic information;

• website performance;

• navigation between pages; and

• interactions with website content.

We may use services such as Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity for these purposes.

Where analytics technologies require consent, they will not be activated until you have given it.

Certain limited statistical analytics may be used without prior consent where permitted by law, provided the technology is used solely to produce appropriate statistical information for improving the website and visitors are provided with the required information and ability to object.

Advertising and conversion technologies

We may use advertising technologies to understand whether our advertising generates visits, enquiries or other actions and to improve the relevance and effectiveness of our advertising.

Providers may include:

• Google Ads;

• Meta;

• LinkedIn; and

• Microsoft advertising services.

These technologies may be used to:

• measure advertising conversions;

• attribute enquiries to advertising campaigns;

• understand advertising performance;

• create advertising audiences;

• limit or improve advertising delivery; and

• support relevant advertising on other websites or platforms.

Advertising and conversion technologies will not be activated unless you have given the required consent.

Functionality technologies

Some technologies may remember choices you make or provide additional website functionality.

Where these technologies are not strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested, they will only be used where the appropriate legal requirements have been met.

4. Technologies and providers we may use

The following services are expected to be used on the Harrington Raine website.

The exact technologies used may change as we develop our website and marketing systems.

We will update our cookie controls and this policy where there is a material change.

5. Microsoft Clarity

We may use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors interact with our website.

Depending on the configuration used, Clarity may help us understand matters such as:

• page navigation;

• clicks and interactions;

• scrolling behaviour;

• website usability; and

• individual website sessions.

Clarity may use cookies or other identifiers to associate activity with a particular browser or session.

We will not activate Microsoft Clarity for visitors requiring consent unless the required consent has been provided.

Information entered into sensitive website fields should be appropriately masked or excluded from session-analysis tools where technically available and appropriate.

6. Google Analytics

We may use Google Analytics 4 to understand how our website is used and to improve its performance and content.

Google Analytics may process information such as:

• pages viewed;

• approximate location;

• browser and device information;

• referral source;

• interactions with pages; and

• visit and session information.

Where our use of Google Analytics requires consent, Analytics will remain disabled until that consent has been provided.

We may configure analytics differently in future where a legally compliant statistical-only implementation is appropriate.

7. Advertising technologies

We expect to advertise Harrington Raine through platforms including Google, LinkedIn, Meta and potentially Microsoft.

If you consent to advertising technologies, information about your interaction with our website may be sent to those platforms.

This may allow us and the relevant platform to:

• determine whether an advertisement led to a website visit or enquiry;

• measure advertising effectiveness;

• create or refine advertising audiences; and

• show advertising to relevant audiences.

The platform provider may also process information in accordance with its own privacy terms.

We do not permit advertising technologies to operate before the necessary consent has been obtained.

8. Your choices

When you first visit our website, you may be given a choice about the non-essential technologies you are willing to accept.

You may be able to:

• accept optional technologies;

• reject optional technologies; or

• select particular categories.

Rejecting optional cookies will not prevent you from using the main Harrington Raine website or contacting us.

Strictly necessary technologies will continue to operate because they are required to provide or protect the website.

You can change your choices at any time through the Cookie Settings link available on our website.

Withdrawing consent does not make earlier processing unlawful, but it will prevent the relevant optional technologies from being used on your device for future activity, subject to the technical operation of the relevant service.

9. Browser controls

Most internet browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies.

The method varies between browsers and devices.

Blocking all cookies through your browser may affect parts of the Harrington Raine website and other websites you visit.

Browser controls do not necessarily prevent every form of tracking technology, so we recommend using the Harrington Raine Cookie Settings control where available.

10. How long cookies remain on your device

Some cookies exist only for the duration of your browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser.

Others remain for a defined period or until you delete them.

The duration depends on the particular technology and its purpose.

Where we use third-party technologies, their providers may periodically change individual cookie names or retention periods. Our website cookie controls may therefore provide a more detailed current list of the technologies detected on the website.

We will not deliberately retain information for longer than is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

11. Third-party providers

Some technologies used on our website are supplied by third parties.

These providers may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy information and, depending on the service and your choices, may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Relevant providers may include:

• Google;

• Microsoft;

• Meta;

• LinkedIn; and

• our website hosting and security providers.

Further information about international transfers and our use of service providers is available in our Privacy Notice.

12. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this policy when:

• website technologies change;

• we introduce or remove analytics or advertising services;

• providers change the way their technologies operate; or

• relevant legal requirements change.

The current version will always be published on our website.
