1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Boxpod Ltd (‘we’, ‘us’, or ‘our’) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website www.boxpodcommercialproperty.co.uk and related domain names (collectively, the ‘website’).
By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you should change your browser settings accordingly or refrain from using our website.
This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently and to provide useful information about user behaviour and preferences.
Cookies typically contain:
- The name of the website that created the cookie
- A unique identifier (a string of numbers and letters)
- An expiration date that determines how long the cookie will remain on your device
Cookies allow websites to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language settings, and display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter this information each time you visit the site or browse between pages.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Cookies can be categorised in different ways. Below we explain the types of cookies used on our website:
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable you to navigate the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have requested (such as logging into your account) cannot be provided.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they are automatically placed on your device when you access our website, and you cannot refuse them. However, you can block or delete them by changing your browser settings as described in Section 6.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and whether users receive error messages. This information is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify individual visitors.
We use this information to improve how our website works, understand user behaviour, and enhance the overall user experience. For example, analytics cookies help us identify which pages are most popular and diagnose technical issues.
3.3 Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language preference, or region) and provide enhanced, personalised features. They may also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customisable elements of the website.
The information these cookies collect is usually anonymised, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.
4. Session Cookies vs Persistent Cookies
Cookies can also be categorised based on how long they remain on your device:
Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your web browser. They are used to remember your actions during a single browsing session, such as items in a shopping cart or form data.
Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (as specified in the cookie) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits, such as keeping you logged in to your account.
5. First-Party vs Third-Party Cookies
First-Party Cookies: These cookies are set directly by Boxpod Ltd and can only be read by our website. We use first-party cookies for essential website functionality, user authentication, and to remember your preferences.
Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by external services or partners that we use on our website, such as analytics providers. Third-party cookies enable these services to track your activity across multiple websites. We do not control these cookies, and you should review the privacy policies of these third parties for more information about how they use cookies.
