How we use cookies (Over-C Cookie Policy)?
How Over-C uses cookies
Cookies are used for a variety of things that help improve your online experience. They can be used to make our online
service easier to use including using cookies that:
- make login faster by remembering your customer details
- make the page load quickly by sharing the workload across computers
- give you access to self-help information
- make sure our pages are optimised for your browser or device by giving us technical information about the device
or browser you are using
Personal preferences
Cookies can help give you content that matches your preferences. We might give you relevant content because we know what other content you liked. They also allow you to customise a page.
Safety and security
Some cookies help make sure your information is secure when using our services while keeping our forms and ordering services easy to use.
Improving our service
To make sure you don’t see particular content or announcements too many times we use a cookie to limit their frequency. We also use cookies to measure and analyse how visitors use the site. This helps us develop it and make it easier to use.
First-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by Over-C when you visit our site. Over-C may place first party cookies on your device to track your activity as you move from page to page to identify your preferences.
Third-party cookies
Third-party cookies are set by a website other than the Over-C website, for example when you choose to ‘share’ Over-C content with people and organisations through LinkedIn, Twitter or other social networks. Over-C works with a number of
companies and websites that help make sure our adverts, promotions and marketing messages are displayed to people who might be interested. These companies and partners may use third-party cookies to collect anonymous data such as how many
people have viewed a particular page each day. We don’t control how they use their cookies, so we suggest you check their website to see how they’re using them.

are even if they assign your browser a cookie.
