We use several different cookies when you visit this website (We try to ensure this list is always up to date, but it is possible that the services we use may make changes to their cookie names and purposes and we may not be able to reflect these changes in this policy straightaway):
| Cookie | Purpose |

We use these to understand how the website is being used, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages, in order to improve the user experience and improve how the website works. User data is all anonymous. However, we do not use any information derived from cookies, nor any IP addresses we collect, to identify any individual user of our website.

| Twitter uses cookies when you share content from our website on Twitter. | |
| LinkedIn uses cookies on its sites (such as linkedin.com and slideshare.net) and mobile applications. Any browser visiting these sites will receive cookies from LinkedIn. Linkedin also places cookies in browsers when you visit non-LinkedIn sites that host LinkedIn plugins (for example, LinkedIn’s “Share” button) or tags. | |

Social buttons
On some pages of our website you will see ‘social buttons’ for: Twitter, facebook and LinkedIn. These buttons enable visitors to engage with our social media activity. To implement these buttons, and connect them to the relevant social networks and external websites, there are scripts from domains outside of Denis Parkinson Carpets. You should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including on the Denis Parkinson Carpets website. So if you click on any of these buttons, these sites will be registering that action and may use that information. In some cases these sites may be registering the fact that you are visiting Denis Parkinson Carpets, and the specific pages you are on, even if you don’t click on the button, if you are logged into their services.
Please check the respective policies of each of these sites to see how exactly they use your personal information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such information.
Google reCAPTCHA
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (or “reCAPTCHA”) on our website. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
reCAPTCHA checks whether the data entered on our website (for example, on the contact form) has been entered by a human or by an automated program or bot. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of a website visitor based on a number of characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses take place completely in the background. Website visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place although a logo is displayed on the bottom right hand side of each page showing that reCAPTCHA is being used and with links to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms.
The legal basis for such processing is that the website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its site from abusive automated crawling and spam. For more information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy, please visit the following link:

We may pass personal information to our insurers in the event that a claim is made or could be made against us.
