1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your choices and tell the owner how the site is used. Similar technologies, such as local storage and scripts that load content from other services, work in a comparable way, and this policy covers them too.
2. Cookies we use
- Strictly necessary: needed for the website, forms and security to work. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Analytics: help us understand how visitors use the site, which pages are most useful and where we can improve. We use Google Analytics for this.
- Functional: support features you choose to use, such as our live chat.
- Security: help protect our forms from spam and automated abuse, using Google reCAPTCHA.
We do not use cookies to sell your information, and we do not use advertising cookies on unitedpress.uk.

These providers process information under their own privacy policies. For more on how we handle personal information, see our Privacy Policy.
5. How to control cookies
- Browser settings: every major browser lets you view, block and delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site, such as forms, from working.
- Google Analytics opt-out: you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on from tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
