* Please note – the information marked ‘non-personal’ is such because all the above information is anonymous, and is provided to us through the use of cookies – numerical ID identifiers that uniquely associate to a specific web browser or computer, and tracks the usage of that particular device.

What we do with the information we gather

We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

Please note – we operate an active opt-in system on the Thermoform website, which means you will only be contacted with marketing communications if you have actively opted in. You can read more about this in the Active Opt-In section below. 

Active opt-in 

We want to be completely compliant with all current regulations – especially one that affects Data Protection – which is why we have now made sure that every form on the Thermoform website contains an active opt-in (in line with the GDPR regulations that came into effect in May 2018).

Active opt-ins mean that, instead of relying on a tick box to say you don’t want to receive ongoing communications from us, you’ve got to actively tick a box when submitting a form on our website to give your explicit permission for us to use your data for further communicationsOnly then can we contact you with marketing information and anything other than in relation to your original query.

However, if you don’t tick the active opt-in box, your information will only be used for its intended purpose only – discussing your initial query – and your information will be permanently deleted once the enquiry has been dealt with.

Please note: under the Data Protection Act, you have the right to withdraw your permission at any time (even if you have actively opted in), at which point we will be legally obligated to delete any information we hold on you. Find out more about restricting the use of your private data in the section below entitled ‘Controlling your personal data’. 

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Cookies

What Is A Cookie?

Most websites you visit will use cookies in order to improve your user experience by enabling that website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’).

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, storing your preferences, and generally improving your experience of a website. Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. If a website doesn’t use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site – for example, when you enter your login details and move to another page it won’t recognise you and it won’t be able to keep you logged in.

Some websites will also use cookies to enable them to target their advertising or marketing messages based for example, on your location and/or browsing habits.

Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (‘first party cookies’) or they may be set by other websites that run content on the page you are viewing (‘third party cookies’).

What is in a cookie?

A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server and only that server will be able to retrieve or read the contents of that cookie. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. It will contain some anonymous information such as a unique identifier and the site name and some digits and numbers. It allows a website to remember things like your preferences or what’s in your shopping basket.

What to do if you don’t want cookies to be set

Some people find the idea of a website storing information on their computer or mobile device a bit intrusive, particularly when this information is stored and used by a third party without them knowing. Although this is generally quite harmless you may not, for example, want to see advertising that has been targeted to your interests. If you prefer, it is possible to block some or all cookies, or even to delete cookies that have already been set; but you need to be aware that you might lose some functions of that website.

Cookie Settings

If you don’t want to receive certain categories of cookies on this website, you can change your cookie settings via your browser; your browser help function will tell you how. Alternatively, you may wish to visit www.aboutcookies.org, which contains comprehensive information on how to do this on a wide variety of desktop browsers.

Note: This website does work without cookies, but you will lose some features and functionality if you choose to disable cookies. By continuing to use this site you are agreeing to the terms of this policy and our use of cookies.
