Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how UHU SCOTLAND LTD ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://uhu-scotland.site to provide a secure, high-quality browsing and booking experience for our visitors and customers.
Cookie Policy Overview
We use cookies and similar technologies on our website to deliver a reliable, secure, and enjoyable experience for everyone browsing our products, learning about our heritage, and making enquiries or bookings. Cookies help our digital experience reflect the same craftsmanship, traceability, and attention to detail that underpin our Scottish meat and poultry production.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further information on how we process personal data.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your device (such as a computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website owner.
When you visit https://uhu-scotland.site, cookies enable the site to remember your actions and preferences (for example, region, cookie choices, or completed forms) over a period of time. This helps us improve how you navigate between pages, keep your session secure, and present information that is most relevant to you.
Types of Cookies We Use
To support a smooth and secure browsing experience, we use several categories of cookies on our website. Each type of cookie serves a specific purpose and contributes to the overall quality of your experience:
- Essential cookies – required for core site functionality and security.
- Performance cookies – help us understand how the site is used and where we can improve it.
- Functionality cookies – remember your choices to provide a more tailored experience.
- Targeting and advertising cookies – may be used to deliver content and adverts aligned with your interests.
Some cookies are set directly by us (first-party cookies), while others may be set by trusted third parties providing services on our site (third-party cookies), such as analytics or embedded content providers.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. Without these cookies, core services you expect from the site cannot be provided. For this reason, they cannot be switched off in our systems.
We typically use essential cookies to:
- Maintain the security and integrity of the website and any forms you submit.
- Enable basic navigation between pages and ensure pages load correctly on your device.
- Remember your cookie preferences so we can respect your choices on future visits.
- Support the functioning of any enquiry or booking tools integrated into the site.
These cookies do not store information that directly identifies you, and they are generally only set in response to actions you take, such as adjusting your privacy preferences or submitting a form.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so we can refine the experience and ensure it reflects the same high standards we maintain across our supply chain. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous statistics rather than identifying you individually.
We may use performance cookies to:
- Measure which pages are most frequently visited (such as Products, Quality, or Heritage).
- Understand how you arrived at our website, for example from a search engine or referral link.
- Monitor site performance, loading times, and any errors experienced by users.
- Assess the effectiveness of our content and navigation, helping us make informed improvements.
If you choose to disable performance cookies, we will have less insight into how our website is performing, which may limit our ability to enhance your future visits.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies help us adapt aspects of the site to your preferences, supporting a smoother and more intuitive experience.
We may use functionality cookies to:
- Remember your previously selected preferences or browsing choices on our site.
- Store information you enter into forms so you do not need to retype details on each page.
- Present content or messages that are more relevant to the products or services you have viewed.
If you disable these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and certain preferences may not be stored between visits.
Targeting and Advertising Cookies
Targeting and advertising cookies may be set through our site by us or by our advertising and marketing partners. These cookies can be used to build a profile of your interests based on the pages you visit and the actions you take on our website.
We or our partners may use targeting cookies to:
- Show you adverts for our products or services on other websites that are more aligned with your interests.
- Limit the number of times you see a particular advert.
- Measure how effective digital marketing campaigns are at raising awareness of UHU SCOTLAND LTD.
These cookies do not store direct personal details such as your name or email address, but they rely on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you may experience less targeted advertising.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You remain in control of your cookie settings. When you first visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie consent banner or tool that allows you to accept or reject different categories of non-essential cookies, such as performance, functionality, and targeting cookies.
You can manage your preferences at any time by:
- Reviewing the options presented in our on-site cookie consent tool (where available).
- Adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies, as described in the section "How to Disable Cookies" below.
Please note that if you choose to disable or decline certain categories of cookies, some features of the website, including convenient navigation and personalised content, may not function as intended.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site may be placed by third-party service providers. These cookies are not set directly by UHU SCOTLAND LTD but are associated with services that we use to enhance our website or understand how it is used.
Examples of where third-party cookies may be used include:
- Web analytics services that provide anonymised usage statistics and performance insights.
- Embedded content, such as maps, videos, or social media feeds showcasing our products and facilities.
- Advertising or marketing platforms that help us share relevant information about our ranges and services.
These providers may use their own cookies and have their own privacy and cookie policies. Where possible, we work with trusted partners who respect applicable data protection laws and who only use cookies for agreed purposes.
