Cookies

A cookie is a small file of numbers and letters that often includes an identifier which is unique to you. This is sent to your device’s web browser from our website’s computer and is stored on your device’s hard drive. Cookies allow us to recognise your device if you choose to allow them, like if you came into a shop and we recognised you.

You should be aware that information about you may be collected through the use of cookies when you use Optimal Movement Ltd. It is essential that we use some cookies, without these ‘essential’ cookies, you will not be able to use our website. Some cookies, however, whilst useful, are not essential, and by using Optimal Movement Ltd you agree to the use of these ‘non-essential cookies’ unless you specifically set your browser to reject them. Please check the ‘Help’ menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

Please note that cookies can’t harm your computer. We don’t store personally identifiable information in cookies, but we do use encrypted information gathered from them to help improve your experience of the site. For example, they help us to make our website even better, or to show you relevant products related to products that you’ve previously viewed.

Manage Cookies

If you wish to restrict, block or delete cookies from Optimal Movement Ltd, or any other website, you can use your browser to do this. Each browser is different so please check the ‘Help’ menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

Do not track (DNT) is a feature offered by some browsers, with some newer browsers offering it as default. If you enable it, it sends a signal to websites to request that your browsing isn’t tracked, for example by third party ad or social networks, or analytic companies. At present no industry-wide uniform standard has been agreed and adopted to determine how DNT requests should be managed, so our website doesn’t currently respond to DNT requests. Until that standard is established, we’ll continue to review DNT and other new technologies, but won’t respond to DNT requests.

Please be aware, if you block cookies from Optimal Movement Ltd, you may not be able to fully use our website.

We use a number of different cookies for when you are at different stages of our website. They can be broken down into the following categories:
