Cookie policy

At fordprosoftware.co.uk, we use technologies like cookies, pixels, and local storage to make our websites easier to use and to tailor content to be more relevant for you. This guide is designed to explain, as clearly as possible, what cookies are; the purpose of those used on our website; and what options you have to control or delete them – if you decide you want to.

What is a cookie?

Almost every website uses cookie technology. A cookie is a small file that saves Internet settings. It gets downloaded through a browser during the first visit to a website. When you next return to the site using the same device, the browser may check to see if a related cookie is present (i.e. containing the site name) and use the data inside the cookie to send back to the site.

This allows sites to recognise that the browser has visited before and, in some cases, vary the content shown to reflect that.
