Last Updated: November 29, 2020
This Cookie Policy is for visitors to our Sites.
“Site(s)” means any software application on a compatible device or URL that is owned and operated by Havn Limited.
Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our website. By continuing to browse the website, you are agreeing to our use of cookies.
How This Website Uses Cookies
What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. A cookie can be used to help customise our website and mobile application and improve your experience.
Cookies do not collect your personal information, and most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can remove or reject cookies, but you must be aware that such action could affect the availability and functionality of our website or mobile application.
What is a Web Beacon?
A web beacon is another form of tracking technology, but it cannot be declined. However, they are rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or by modifying your web browser’s settings to notify you each time a cookie is tendered, permitting you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.
What We Use Cookies For
Improving Our Website
For statistical purposes only, we track how many individual unique users we receive and how often they visit our website through use of first-party and third-party cookies. We collect anonymous data which tells us which of our pages are most frequently visited and by which types of users and from which countries. This allows us to see which content is more popular than others. In order to do this, we use a web analytics tool called Google Analytics.
By accessing our website and our mobile application, you consent to the collection and use of your information by Havn and you are encouraged to review the Havn privacy policy and contact them directly for responses to your questions. If you do not want any information to be collected and used by tracking technologies, you can visit the third-parties. You should be aware that getting a new computer, installing a new browser, upgrading an existing browser, or erasing or otherwise altering your browser’s cookies files may also clear certain opt-out cookies, plug-ins, or settings.
Ensuring Our Online Advertising Is Targeted and Relevant
From time to time we may engage in advertising on other websites to promote this website. The advertising partners we use may serve ads that it believes are most likely to be of interest to you, based on information about your visit to this and other websites (this information is anonymous in that it does not include your name, street address, email address or telephone number).
In order to do this, our advertising partner may need to place a cookie on your computer. Furthermore, in order to identify that you are part of the relevant target audience, they may identify that you have previously visited this website by using a cookie dropped from this website (this is called re-targeting).
These advertising cookies are typically referred to as ‘third party cookies’ because the advertising and tracking are carried out by a ‘third party’.
For more information about this type of online behavioural advertising, about cookies, and about how to turn this feature off, please visit www.youronlinechoices.com/uk.
Additionally, we may use third-party tools to serve advertisements on our website and our mobile application, implement email marketing campaigns, and manage other interactive marketing initiatives. These third-party tools may use cookies or similar tracking technology to help manage and optimise your online experience with us.
What Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are the cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services. Because these cookies are strictly necessary we do not need to ask for your consent to use them.
Analytical / Performance Cookies
They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. By using Havn’s Sites you agree that we may place these types of cookies on your device.
Functionality Cookies
These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region). By using Havn’ Sites you agree that we may place these types of cookies on your device.
Targeting Cookies

How Can You Manage Your Cookies?
Browser Settings
Most browsers can be altered to prevent your computer from accepting cookies, although this may mean that some of the features of this website (and other websites) will not work properly and may restrict your user experience.
These settings will typically be found in the ‘options’ or ‘preferences’ menu of your browser. In order to understand these settings, the following links may be helpful; otherwise you should use the ‘help’ option in your browser for more details.
Cookie settings in Internet Explorer
Cookie settings in Firefox
Turning Off Anonymous Google Analytic Cookies
You can install a Google Analytics browser ‘plug in’ to prevent the website sending information about your visit to Google Analytics. More information about this can be found below.
Turning Off Third Party Cookies
In order to prevent third party cookies from being dropped onto your browser, you can go to the relevant third-party website and generate a one-time ‘no thanks’ cookie. This will stop any further cookies being served to your browser from this third party. The third party used by this website is [DoubleClick] and you can find out instructions on how to do this on the link below.
Do-Not-Track Features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and our mobile application include a Do-Not-Track (DNT) feature or setting that you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals has been finalised. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.
If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Cookie Policy.
