  12. Our Use of Cookies

    Cookies are small text files that can be used by websites to make a user’s experience more efficient.

    The law states that We can store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this site. For all other types of cookies We need your permission.

    This site uses different types of cookies. Some cookies are placed by third party services that appear on Our pages.

    You can at any time change or withdraw your consent from the Cookie Declaration on Our website.

    Learn more about who We are, how you can contact Us and how we process personal data in Our Privacy Policy.

    Necessary
    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.

    Preferences
    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.

    Statistics
    Statistic cookies help website owners to understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously.

    Marketing
    Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third party advertisers.

  13. Contacting UsIf you have any questions about Our Site or this Privacy and Cookie Statement, please contact Us by email at info@ucc-europe.com, by telephone on +44 (0)208 799 4370 or by post at Data Protection Officer, UCC Europe Ltd, 40-44 Uxbridge Road, London, W5 2BS, United Kingdom. Please ensure that your query is clear, particularly if it is a request for information about the data We hold about you (as under section 11, above).
  14. Changes to Our Privacy and Cookie StatementWe may change this Privacy and Cookie Statement from time to time (for example, if the law changes). Any changes will be immediately posted on Our Site and you will be deemed to have accepted the terms of the Privacy and Cookie Statement on your first use of Our Site following the alterations. We recommend that you check this page regularly to keep up-to-date.
  15. Cookie Opt-Out Do not trackDo not track (DNT) is a feature offered by some browsers, with some newer browsers offering it as default. If you enable it, it sends a signal to websites to request that your browsing isn’t tracked, for example by third party ad or social networks, or analytic companies. You can opt out of tracking and analytics on this website by changing your settings – see the Managing Cookies section on this page. At present no industry-wide uniform standard has been agreed and adopted to determine how DNT requests should be managed, so our website doesn’t currently respond to DNT requests. Until that standard is established, we’ll continue to review DNT and other new technologies, but won’t respond to DNT requests.

We’re giving you this information as part of our initiative to both comply with legislation, and make sure we’re honest and clear about your privacy when using our website. We know you’d expect nothing less from us, and please be assured that we’re working on a number of other privacy and cookie-related improvements to the website.
