What cookies Cheshire Mortgage Group use and why
Cookies are small text files, which often include a unique identifier that is sent by a web server to your computer, mobile phone or any other internet enabled device (“device”) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work efficiently and help provide us with business and marketing information to enable us to make informed decisions on the development of our websites.
We use the following types of cookies:
Essential– Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
Performance– Performance cookies help owners understand how the website is used by visitors. This information can then be used to improve the way the website works.
Preference– Preference cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in.
