Cookies Policy
Our Cookies Policy clearly explains the different cookies used by Coopman Search and Selection on our website and how you can control them. We may update this Cookies Policy at any time to reflect changes in the cookies used on our website. If any personal information is collected through our cookies, our Privacy Policy applies and compliments this Cookies Policy.
What are cookies and how are they used?
Cookies are a standard feature of a website. Cookies are files which typically contain two pieces of information: a site name and unique user ID. They allow website owners like us to store small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to a website. This information is used to optimise your browsing experience, that is to ensure that the website functions correctly and enables your device to access information faster and more efficiently.
Do cookies expire?
Session cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser (or once your session ends). Each new user on a page will be treated like a completely new user overall. Persistent cookies remain on your hard drive until you erase them or your browser does, depending on the cookie’s expiration date. This allows a website to remember a user on numerous visits, enhancing the user experience.
What cookies are used on our website?
We use first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are put in place on your device directly by our website, whereas third-party cookies are placed by a separate server outside of our website domain.

Other cookies allow us to enhance and improve the functionality and personalisation of the website, and these are known as ‘’Functional’’ cookies. “Performance” cookies collect data on how visitors use a website, such as analytics.
