We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using this website, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

Quinn Land Solicitors may change its policy from time to time by updating this page. You should periodically check this page to ensure that you are happy with any changes.

We may collect the following information:

• Name and job title

• Demographic information such as postcode, preferences, and interests
• Other information relevant to customer surveys

We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, in particular for the following reasons:

• Internal record keeping.
• We may use the information to improve our services.
• We may periodically send promotional emails about new products or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address you have provided.

From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research purposes. We may contact you by email, phone, fax or mail. We may use the information to customise the website according to your interests.

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

There are two main categories of cookies - ‘persistent’ cookies and ‘session’ cookies.

A session cookie will only last as long as the user session lasts, so will be deleted once web browser is closed. A persistent cookie, however, will continue to be stored by the browser even after the user session ends. Generally, it will be stored until it reaches its set expiry date or unless deleted by the user before that date.

Cookies do not always contain information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. When cookies can identify an individual via their device, it is considered personal data.

More information about cookies can be found at: www.allaboutcookies.org.

As well as being ‘persistent’ or ‘session’, different types of cookies can be used for different purposes. Different types of cookies include:

• Necessary: these cookies are required for the operation of the website, enabling services such as log-in, sign-up to newsletters, etc.
• Functional: these cookies allow the server to recognise a computer in connection to the website. This allows for faster downloading of pages but also allows for personalisation of website content, including remembering a user when they return to the website, remember that user’s preferences (including cookie preferences), etc.
• Analytical/Statistic Cookies: these cookies are used to collect data (e.g. IP addresses, popular pages, length of time on pages, site performance) in order to create and analyse information and statistics on the use and performance of a website. This information is then used to help improve the way the website works. These types of cookies may be set by the website operator but are often set by ‘third parties' on the website user’s behalf.
• Advertising/Targeted: cookies may also be used to gather information on a website user for the purpose of personalising advertising for that user. As with analytical cookies, these cookies are often provided by third parties.

Cookies on a website do not always originate from the website owner/operator. Third parties, such as advertisers or online service providers, may also use cookies to collect certain information on website users, often for purposes such as data analytics (statistics on website use, for example) or targeted advertising.

Providers of third-party cookies will have their own privacy policy and cookie policy which will tell you how and why they use cookies.

Our website www.quinnland.co.uk uses both persistent and session-type cookies for analytical/statistical purposes. The table below sets out each of these cookies and provides details on their type, when they will expire and the purpose of the cookie.

Google Analytics make available an opt-out mechanism and provides more information. To opt-out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites visit: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Within your browser settings, you can also choose whether you wish to accept cookies or not. Different browsers make different controls available to you and so we provide links below to popular manufacturers’ instructions on how you can do this. Generally, your browser will offer you the choice to accept, refuse or delete all cookies at all times, or those from providers that website owners use (“third party cookies”), or those from specific websites.
