Please read this cookie policy carefully as it contains important information on who we are and how we use cookies on our website. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy (found here https://themethod.com/privacy-policy) which sets out how and why we collect, store, use and share personal information generally, as well as your rights in relation to your personal information and details of how to contact us and supervisory authorities if you have a complaint.
Who we are
This website is operated by MTHD Project Limited (“we”, “us”, “our”).
Our website
This cookie policy relates to your use of our website, https://themethod.com/.
Throughout our website we may link to other websites owned and operated by certain trusted third parties which we think may be of interest to you. These other third party websites may also use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own separate policies. For privacy information relating to these other third party websites, please consult their policies as appropriate.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file which is placed on your device (e.g. computer, smartphone or other electronic device) when you use our website. We use cookies on our website. These help us recognise you and your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions.
For example, we may monitor how many times you visit the website, which pages you go to, or traffic data. This information helps us to build a profile of our users and ensure our site is working correctly. However, when we analyse this information it is often in aggregated or statistical format.
For further information on our use of cookies, including a detailed list of your information which we and others may collect through cookies, please see below.
For further information on cookies generally, including how to control and manage them, visit the guidance on cookies published by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
Consent to use cookies and changing settings
We will ask for your consent to place cookies or other similar technologies on your device, except where they are essential for us to provide you with a service that you have requested (e.g. logging into our website or placing orders).
If you wish to modify or withdraw your cookie preferences, you will need to clear the cookies stored on your browser. This can be done by accessing your browser settings and deleting the cookies. After clearing the cookies, you may revisit our website, where you will be prompted to select your preferences again. Please note that clearing cookies may affect the functionality of our website and result in the loss of previously set preferences.
Our use of cookies
Essential cookies are those cookies that are required for the operation of our website. These essential cookies are always enabled because our website won’t work properly without them. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website or use a shopping cart. You can switch off these cookies in your browser settings but you may then not be able to access all or parts of our website.
Non-essential cookies can be categorised into analytical/performance cookies, functionality cookies, targeting cookies, and social media cookies, and these are more particularly described on our cookie banner.
