Cookie Policy

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. These cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow Clearwater to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse Clearwater’s website, and it also allows us to improve our site.

The cookies used on this website have been categorized based on the ICC UK Cookie Guide. A list of all the cookie types used on this website by category is below:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.

Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website (for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages). These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor – all information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. They are only used to improve how a website works.

They are also used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.

Targeting Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement, as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often, targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization.
