Website Cookies
To help analyse how visitors navigate our websites, and compile aggregate statistics about site usage and response rates, we, with assistance from third-party analytics service providers, collect certain information when you visit our sites. This information includes IP address, geographic location of the device, browser type, browser language, date and time of your request, time(s) of your visit(s), page views and page elements (e.g., links) that you click. We may use cookies or other similar tools on our sites or in our email messages to assist us in collecting and analysing such information.
We use this information to provide better, more relevant content on our sites, to measure the effectiveness of advertisements, to identify and fix problems, and to improve your overall experience on our sites.
If you do not want information collected through the use of these technologies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to automatically decline many of these technologies, or to be given the choice of declining or accepting them.

Examples of the services we currently use
- Google Analytics
Google Analytics is used to track site statistics and user demographics, interests and behaviour on websites. We also use Google Search Console to help understand how our website visitors find our website and to improve our search engine optimisation. However, OKW UK only collects aggregated analytics data that does not identify individual users. Find out more information about how this analytics information may be used, how to control the use of your information, and how to opt-out of having your data used by Google Analytics.
- Hotjar
Our sites use Hotjar web analytics. Hotjar helps us measure and evaluate site usage behaviour, such as mouse clicks, mouse movements, keystrokes (excluding personally identifiable information), scrolling activity, and pages visited and actions taken on the site. For more information, see the Hotjar privacy policy. You can opt-out of having Hotjar track your site usage behavior.
- Traffic analyzer
OKW UK uses a custom tracking solution on its websites (hereby referred to as the traffic analyzer). OKW UK uses the traffic analyzer to help understand -e.g- how much resources an average user on its website consumes during a session or what pages and contents are most likely to be requested during an average session. The data collected cannot be used to identify individual persons and is never connected with any personal data records OKW UK might have access to. It is also possible to set a so called opt-out cookie "_tfoo" for this tracking mechanism. To do so a user can open https://www.okw.co.uk/optout.html thus deleting the trafficflowid cookie and setting the optout cookie to ensure no cookies for the traffic analyzer will be set in the future as long as the opt-out cookie is present. User'sUsers should be aware that once the cookie expires in their browser or they delete the opt-out cookie in their browser it will have to be set again.
