Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy provides information on how Wilson Power Solutions Limited (“The Company”) uses cookies and technologies to recognise the Users (“User”, “Users”, “User’s”, “Users’”) when Users visit The Company’s website at www.wilsonpowersolutions.co.uk (the “Website”). It details why these technologies are used and what they are along with Users’ rights to control the use of them.
In some instances, The Company may use cookies to collect personal information, that can become personal if combined with other information.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto the User’s device (e.g. computer, smartphone or another electronic device) when the User uses the Website. The Company uses cookies on the Website. These help The Company improve user experience and are used for analytics, marketing and essential purposes to provide the User security and a good web experience.
For example, The Company may monitor how many times the User visits the Website, how the User navigates the Website, which pages the User goes to, traffic data, location data and the originating domain name of the User’s internet service provider. This information provides The Company with a better understanding of the User and how the User navigates and uses the Website. The Company then uses this information to develop and provide a better User experience.
Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means that The Company will not be able to identify Users individually.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, The Company) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the Website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise the User’s computer both when the User visits the website in question and also when the User visits certain other websites.
The cookies used by The Company will only be accessed by The Company and the named third parties for the purposes referred to in this cookie policy. Those cookies will not be accessed by any other third party.
Why does The Company use cookies?
The Company uses cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for the Website to operate, and The Company refers to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable The Company to track and target the interests of the Users to enhance the experience on The Company’s Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through the Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
How can the User control cookies?
The User has the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. The Cookie Consent Banner allows the User to select whether to accept or reject cookies
The Cookie Consent can be found in the notification banner and on the Website. If the User chooses to reject cookies, the User may still use the Website, though access to some functionality and areas of the Website may be restricted. The User may also set or amend web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through the Website and the purposes they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the User browser settings.
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide the User with services available through the Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.

Purpose: Laravel cookies are essential for User’s website experience. Sessions provide a way to store information about the User across requests. Laravel ships with a variety of session back-ends available for use through a clean, unified API.
These session cookies enhance the User’s application experience. CSRF tokens are used to prevent CSRF attacks by making it impossible for an attacker to construct a fully valid HTTP request suitable for feeding to a victim User. Since the attacker cannot determine or predict the value of a User's CSRF token, they cannot construct a request with all the parameters that are necessary for the application to honour the request.

How can the User control cookies on the browser?
The means by which the User can refuse cookies through the web browser controls vary from browser to browser. The User can visit the browser's help menu for more information. The following is information about how to manage cookies on the most popular browsers:
Information about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track Users to the Website. The Company may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables The Company to recognise when someone has visited the Website or opened an email which includes The Company. This allows The Company, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of the User from one page within the Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether the User has come to the Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Does Wilson Power Solutions use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about the User’s use of The Company’s services, fraud prevention, and other site operations. If the user does not wish to have Flash cookies stored on their device, they can adjust the settings within the Flash Player itself. To block Flash cookies, users can access the Website Storage Settings Panel within the Flash Player settings. Here’s how to manage or block Flash cookies:
Open the Flash Player Settings Manager by right-clicking on any Flash-based content (such as a video or game) and selecting Settings.
In the Settings Manager, click on the Local Storage tab to control how much data Flash content can store on your computer.
The User can either adjust the slider to limit the amount of data Flash cookies can store or choose to completely disable storage by selecting the option to block Flash cookies.
If the user does not wish to have Flash cookies stored on their device, they can adjust the settings within the Flash Player. The following steps outline how to block or manage Flash cookies:
Open the Flash Player Settings Manager (as before):
Right-click on any Flash-based content (e.g., video or game) and select Settings.Adjust Local Storage Settings:
In the Settings Manager, click the Local Storage tab.
Use the slider to limit the amount of data Flash content can store or select the option to block Flash cookies entirely.Manage Global Flash Cookie Settings:
Go to the Global Storage Settings Panel.
Here, you can:
Delete existing Flash cookies by following the provided instructions.
Prevent future Flash cookies from being stored by adjusting the storage preferences.
By following these steps, the User can block or manage Flash cookies and control how Flash-based content interacts with their device, prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on the computer without being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page User is on at the time.
Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of FlashCookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with The Company’s services or online content.
Do Users serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on the User’s computer or mobile device to serve advertising through the Website. These companies may use information about the User’s visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that the User may be interested in. Third parties may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. Third parties can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about the User’s visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to the User. The information collected through this process does not enable The Company or Third Parties to identify the User’s name, contact details, or other details that directly identify the User unless the User chooses to provide these.
