Cookie Policy

What are Cookies?

We’re not talking about the cookie that you eat (unfortunately). Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which allow our site to recognise your device and are downloaded to your device when you visit a website if you agree to the site doing so. Cookies are then sent back to the website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie.

Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device and are widely used in order to either make websites, work more efficiently, let you navigate between pages, remember your preferences, and generally improve your user experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

Our site uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of mixam.co.uk. This helps us to provide you with a better experience when you browse our website and make improvements. Some of the cookies we use are "analytical" cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

Cookies do not contain confidential information such as your home address, telephone number or credit card details. We do not exchange cookies with any third-party websites. Please note that our advertisers and affiliates may also use cookies, over which we have no control.

They may also be used to provide services you have asked us for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.

We will use this information to make our website and the advertising (including product recommendations) displayed on it more relevant to your interests. These cookies are also placed by third parties (including advertising networks) with our permission.
