Cookie Policy  

This cookie policy is designed to inform you about what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage them if you choose to. We’re giving you this information as part of our initiative to comply with the new recent legislation on how cookies should be used. 

What are Cookies

Cookies are small text files held on your computer. They allow us to give you the best browsing experience possible and mean we can understand how you use our site. Some cookies have already been set. You can delete and block cookies but parts of our site won’t work without them. By using our website you accept our use of cookies.

Types of cookies we use

Like many websites, we make use of session cookies and persistent cookies, neither of which collect any personally identifiable information. 

Session Cookies
We use session cookies, which only last for the duration of your visit, to enable us to identify that the same person is moving from page to page. Session cookies are deleted the moment you close your browser. An example of how we use session cookies is when we maintain your samples basket when you move from page to page on our site. 

Persistent Cookies
Some cookies we use are persistent, in that they remain on your computer even after you leave Kingsmead Carpets. These remain on your computer after you have visited our site, meaning the site can remember your settings for when you return. Another reason we use persistent cookies is to help us record visitor trends over time which helps us monitor traffic and what parts of the website are more popular than others. 

3rd Party Cookies
From time to time we will embed 3rd party content onto our site which may also use various cookies. These include sites such as Facebook and Twitter, whose cookie usage policy you can view on their own websites.

Our Cookies

Below is a list of the main cookies we use, and what we use them for.  

Google Analytics
Google Analytics allows us to track how popular our site is and to record visitor trends over time. Google Analytics uses a cookie to help track which pages are accessed. 

The cookie contains no personally identifiable information, but it does use your IP address to determine where in the world you are accessing the site from, and to track page visits within the site.

Managing your cookies

You have a number of options when it comes to receiving cookies. You can set your browser either to reject all cookies, to allow only ‘trusted’ sites to send them, or to accept only those cookies from websites you are currently using.

We recommend that you don’t block all cookies because parts of our website rely on them to work properly.
