We will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes. Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf: We may pass your information to our third-party service providers, agents, subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example, using an agent to find you a suitable own-use property). However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes. Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties (beyond our network and partner companies) for them to use for their own direct marketing purposes, unless you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime. Third Party Service Providers we work in association with: We work closely with various third-party service providers and partner companies to bring you a range of quality and reliable services designed to meet the needs of our customers. When you enquire about or purchase one or more of these services, the relevant third-party service provider will use your details to provide you with information and carry out their obligations arising from any contracts you have entered into with them. In some cases, they will be acting as a data controller of your information and therefore we advise you to read their Privacy Policy.  These third-party product providers will share your information with us which we will use in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR DATA?
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. To prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.

COOKIE POLICY

WHAT IS A COOKIE?
Like many other websites, Find UK Property uses cookies. A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added, and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can make site navigation a lot more efficient and tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences. A cookie does NOT give us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
WHAT ARE CACHES?

Cache is a temporary storage of web page resources stored in the user’s device for faster loading of web pages. The first time you visit a website, items such as pictures, videos, clippings and audios might take a considerable time before the entire website loads completely. By storing these items in the user’s device, the loading of the website is much faster than the first time.

HOW WE USE COOKIES
We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website so that we can tailor it to our customer needs. For example, we can make more popular pages easier to navigate to. The information can also be used to determine the number of unique visits and return visits to a website. Also, whether users have encountered problems while using the site or its functions. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. The cookies do not identify individuals personally. Google Analytics: This cookie allows us to see information on user website activities including, but not limited to page views, source and time spend on website. The information is depersonalised and is displayed as numbers, meaning it cannot be tracked back to individuals. This will help to protect your privacy. Using Google Analytics, we can see what content is popular on our website and strive to give you more of the things you enjoy reading and watching. Google AdWords: Our website uses a Google AdWords re-marketing service to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network. Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visit to a client’s website. Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy. Microsoft Bing Ads: Microsoft Bing Ads places a cookie on your computer if you reach our website by clicking on a Microsoft Bing advertisement. We also use Bing Ads to allow us to have our advertisements appear at the top of the results page for certain search engines. Facebook Cookies: We have our own Facebook page, and our own website has a Facebook pixel to place cookies on customers websites. This enables us to reach our customers anonymously. When a user visits our website and then visits Facebook, Facebook can serve them with marketing messages by us. The data that can be obtained from a visit to the Find UK website is limited to the URL of the pages that have been visited and, together with the limited information a browser might pass on, such as its IP address. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not.
