  • First party cookies: installed by our own website.

For instance, where we include content from Youtube on our own website or buttons which users can use to share content on social networks, a user accessing such content from our own website may have cookies added from these third parties. Plowman Craven doesn’t control these third party cookies and so the user must review the cookie policies of these other websites for further information.
