Barnes Man and Van Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Barnes Man and Van uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website, you agree to the placement of cookies on your device as described in this policy, subject to your consent choices.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and help us understand how visitors use our site. Some cookies are necessary for the site to function properly, while others are used to improve performance or deliver tailored content and advertising.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the core operation of the Barnes Man and Van website. Without these cookies, certain services you request cannot be provided. These cookies typically enable basic functions such as navigating between pages, accessing secure areas, and remembering items or information you enter while using our services.
We use essential cookies to ensure the website loads correctly, to maintain the integrity of your session, and to provide basic security features. These cookies do not gather information for marketing purposes and are generally set only in response to actions you take that amount to a service request.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so that we can improve its design, performance, and content. These cookies collect information about how you interact with our pages, such as which pages you visit, how long you stay on each page, and any technical errors you may encounter.
The information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and does not directly identify you. We use it to monitor site performance, measure the effectiveness of content, and make informed decisions about improvements. Performance monitoring through analytics cookies allows us to ensure that the site remains fast, reliable, and relevant to user needs.
Marketing and Personalisation Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and adverts that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may be set by us or by third parties that provide services to support our marketing activities. These cookies can track your visits to our website and may be used to build a profile of your interests.
Marketing cookies help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and tailor messages so that they are more useful to potential customers. They may also limit the number of times you see a particular advert and help us understand how users respond to different promotions.
Third Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website may be placed by third party service providers. These third parties may include analytics providers and advertising partners. They use cookies to deliver their services to us, such as reporting on website usage or supporting targeted marketing. We do not control these cookies directly, but we aim to work only with trusted partners who respect your privacy.
How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring
Performance monitoring is a key purpose of our use of analytics cookies. By examining aggregated data about page load times, navigation paths, and user interactions, we can identify areas where the website may be slow, confusing, or prone to errors. This enables us to make technical and design enhancements that improve overall user experience.
Monitoring performance through cookies also helps us ensure that our site can handle visitor demand, particularly during busy periods, and that new features operate as intended. This ongoing analysis supports a stable, efficient, and user friendly online service.
Your Cookie Choices and Control

When you first visit our website, you may be presented with options that allow you to accept or reject certain categories of cookies, such as analytics and marketing cookies.

Please note that disabling some cookies may affect the functionality and performance of the Barnes Man and Van website, and certain features may not work as intended.
