Beswetherick Opticians makes use of cookies on this website. Cookies are very small text documents or pieces of software code. When you visit this website, a request is made to your device to store this file on your device and access information from it. This can help make your experience of the website easier in the future.

Types of cookies

Functional cookies: These are cookies that are necessary for a website to function properly or make it easier for you to use. For instance, saving your login details so that you don’t have to log in every time. Storing the contents of your shopping cart or closing the cookie notification also fall under functional cookies.

Analytical cookies: These are cookies that measure and analyse visitor behaviour on this website. We use this information to make the website function as optimally as possible.

Tracking cookies: These are cookies that are used to store your surfing behaviour within one or more websites. The tracking cookies on this website are so-called ‘third-party cookies’. This means that these cookies are not placed by us but by another party. This happens the moment you open files via this site that are stored by that other party. Take YouTube, for example. If you watch a YouTube video via this site, YouTube will place a cookie on you.

Consent
Not all cookies are created to collect your data. Functional cookies, for example, do not collect personal data. No consent is needed to set these cookies. They are therefore loaded directly when you visit the website.

With analytical cookies, it is sometimes necessary to ask for prior permission to place them, but sometimes not. This depends on the settings used. This website uses Google Analytics. When setting this, we have followed the manual of the Personal Data Authority. The settings are therefore ‘secure’, allowing this cookie to be set without your consent. It is therefore loaded immediately when you visit the website.

Tracking cookies always require your permission before they can be placed. These cookies are therefore only loaded after you have given your consent.

Please note that we cannot guarantee the privacy policies of the third parties whose third-party cookies end up on your device.

We have no influence on this and cannot vouch for it. If you want to know their cookie policy, you should consult their website.

Right to access and correct or delete data
You have the right to request access to and correction or deletion of your (personal) data. To prevent misuse, we may ask you to identify yourself adequately when doing so.
