On revisiting Craven Dunnill & Co Ltd. our computer server will recognise the cookie, giving us information about your last visit. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but usually you can alter the settings of your browser to prevent automatic acceptance. If you choose not to receive cookies, you may still use most of the features of our website.

This website uses Session Cookies. Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site.

This information helps us to improve the way our site works, for example by making sure users find what they need easily.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

Your privacy is important to us. We will not sell, rent, trade or otherwise disclose your personal information to any third party.

How long we retain your data
