Cookies

When we provide services via our website, we want to make them easy to use, useful and reliable. This sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on the device you are using for accessing the website, for example your computer or mobile phone. We do this using small files known as cookies. They cannot be used to identify you personally.

Cookies are used by Comfrey UK to improve services for you by:

  • Enabling a service to recognise your device so you don’t have to give the same information during one task, for example to remember the information you entered on the first page of a multi-page form;
  • Remembering settings so you don’t have to re-enter them every time you visit a new page;
  • Processing a payment, so we can tie the payment to your order;
  • Measuring how many people are using the website and how they navigate the website, so that we can identify ways to make it easier to use and make sure that there is enough capacity for the website to perform well and respond quickly.

Our cookies aren’t used to identify you personally. They’re just here to make the site work better for you. Indeed, you can manage and/or delete these small files as you wish.

To learn more about cookies and how to manage them, visit AboutCookies.org. Or please read on to find out more about how and where we use cookies.
