Cookie Policy

We use cookies and similar tools across our website to improve its performance and enhance your user experience, this policy explains how we do that.

Cookies explained

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer, tablet or mobile phone (referred to here as a “device”) browser from a website’s computer and is stored on your device. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.

How Control uses Cookies

During the course of any visit to the Control website, the pages you see, along with cookies, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.

Control uses this type of information to help improve the services it provides to its website users. Generally, our cookies perform up to three different functions:
