This policy explains how H&D WFinancial Planing (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on hdfp.co.uk.
It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more fully how we handle personal information.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on return visits and to remember certain information about how you use the site.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage, which work in a comparable way. Where this policy refers to cookies, it covers these technologies too.
When you first visit our site, you will see a cookie banner asking whether you accept non-essential cookies.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by [DESCRIBE THE MECHANISM — e.g. “clicking the cookie preferences link in the footer of any page”]. Withdrawing consent is as straightforward as giving it, and does not affect the lawfulness of anything done before you withdrew it.
You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working.
