Cookies policy

Introduction

This Cookie Policy describes how Perfect Data Solutions Limited t/a LendingMetrics (PDS) uses cookies and similar technologies on the lendingmetrics.com website (“the Website”) and your choices regarding their use. Our Privacy Notice explains how we collect and use your information more generally.

What are cookies and similar technologies?

We may use cookies and temporary cache entries on the Website. Cookies are small data files that websites send to your computer, tablet or other device when you visit them. These files remain on your device, enabling the Website to recognise you on future visits and provide an improved user experience. Cookies store details about your interactions with the Website, such as your preferences, the type of device you used, your location at the time of connection and the pages you viewed.

Temporary cache entries are not the same as cookies. They are typically stored in your browser’s cache and are not used to track user activity or identify you; they are simply stored as part of the Website’s normal operation to optimise loading times and performance. Cache entries are temporary and are cleared when your session ends, meaning no personal data is stored long term.

Types of cookies

Cookies may be set by us when you visit the Website (first party cookies) or created by other sites, such as search engines or analytics services to track user behaviour across different sites (third party cookies). Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies enable sites to recognise and link the actions of a user during a browsing session and expire at the end of each session. Persistent cookies enable sites to recognise a user, and these are stored on the user’s system or device until they expire, although they can be deleted before the expiry date.

What types of cookies do we use?

Different types of cookies do different jobs on the Website. PDS may use cookies for the following purposes:
