Cookie Policy.
This cookie policy explains how MAK Commercial Solutions Ltd, trading as Mersey Stairlifts ("we", "us", "our"), uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve your experience, and to give the website owner information about how the site is used. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, work in comparable ways, and we refer to all of these as "cookies" in this policy.
Cookies can be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which stay on your device for a set period. They can also be "first-party" cookies, set by us, or "third-party" cookies, set by other organisations whose services we use.
How we use cookies
Our website is built on the Squarespace platform, and we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Broadly, the cookies on our site fall into two categories.
Essential cookies. These are necessary for the website to function properly and securely. They do things like keep the site running, remember your cookie preferences, and protect against security threats. Because they are essential, these cookies do not require your consent, and the site may not work correctly without them. Squarespace sets a number of these cookies automatically.
Analytics cookies. These help us understand how people find and use our website — for example, which pages are most popular and how visitors move through the site — so that we can improve it. We use Squarespace Analytics and Google Analytics for this purpose. These cookies are not essential, so we only use them where you have given your consent through our cookie banner. The information they collect is used in an aggregated way and is not used by us to identify you personally.
The main cookies we use
The table below lists the main types of cookie on our site. The exact names and durations set by Squarespace and Google may change from time to time as those services are updated.
Essential (Squarespace): used to keep the website working, secure and to remember your preferences. First-party. Typically session-based or up to around two years.
Analytics (Squarespace Analytics): used to measure website traffic and usage. First-party. Typically up to around two years.
Analytics (Google Analytics): used to collect anonymous statistics about how visitors use the site, such as pages visited, approximate location, and device and browser type. Third-party, set by Google. Typically up to around two years, though some expire much sooner.
Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner that lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you see what cookies you have, block them, or delete them. Please note that if you block or delete essential cookies, parts of our website may not work properly. Guidance on managing cookies is available within the help section of your particular browser.
If you would like to opt out of Google Analytics specifically, Google provides a browser add-on for this purpose, available from Google's own website.
Changes to this policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date below.
