Cookie Policy

Cookies are small pieces of data which are stored for you on your computer by your web browser. They're used to improve your online experience by almost every website, including our own - which is one of the reasons we think it's important that you understand how cookies work, what they're for, and when they're being used. We want to make sure you're comfortable using them - so you can get the most out of hunterbayfield.com.

We'll run through the basics about cookies on this page - and explain how we comply with the new EU Cookie legislation, introduced last year.

Cookies are small text files that are sent to and stored on your computer, smartphone or other device used to access the internet, whenever you visit a website. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise the device you are using. At hunterbayfield.com, we use cookies for a variety of reasons, such as to determine preferences, let users navigate between pages efficiently, verify the user and carry out other essential security checks. See the section "How cookies make our website safer and easier to use", below for more examples. Some of the functions that cookies perform can also be achieved using alternatives to cookies. This policy refers to 'cookies' throughout, however it may refer to these alternative mechanisms where appropriate.
