Use of cookies by Co-Ownership

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. 

Why do we use cookies?

Co-Ownership uses cookies to make our website, and the services that run on our website, work for you.

We do this by:

• Enabling a service to recognise your computer so you don't have to give the same information multiple times.
• Measuring how many people are using the different areas of the website so that we can improve how we surface information.
• Analysing how visitors interact with the website, for example tracking (anonymous data) to understand how many visitors using our website go on to register an account or login to our online portal.
• Providing more personalised advertising campaigns and measuring the success of these via analytics.

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 to cookies on our website.

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
• Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation, (e.g. cookies for login or registration, language preferences). They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. 
• Targeting Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
