Cookie Policy

Introduction and cookies explained

‘Cookies’ are a type of small file stored on your device (laptop, PC, phone or tablet), and used by most websites in different ways to enable the user to have a more personalised online experience. Ideal Heating uses cookies to collect and analyse information on website performance and usage. We also use cookies to provide social media features in partnership with LinkedIn, Meta and Microsoft including enhanced customised content and advertisements.

Ideal Heating may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and statistical data about website users’ browsing actions and patterns and to provide aggregate information for the different media platforms we work with.

We may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive of your computer. They help us to improve our website and to deliver a better and more personalised service. They enable us to:

  • Estimate our audience size and usage pattern;
  • Store information about your preferences, and so allow us to customise our website according to your individual interests;
  • Speed up your searches;
  • Recognise you when you return to our website.

You may refuse to accept cookies by clicking Cookie Settings on the popup when you first use the Ideal Heating website and then pressing DENY ALL. You may also be able to use the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our website. Unless you have hit DENY ALL and/or adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log onto our website.

Cookies used on this website

Analytics cookies

These cookies allow us to count page visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website, using a service provided by Google Analytics.

First party cookies

First-party cookies are created by the Ideal Heating website when a user visits it. This type of cookie is considered good because it provides a better user experience and will keep a viewing session open. This enables the browser to be able to remember key bits of data where applicable, such as items added to a shopping trolley, your username and passwords, and even language preferences.

Third party cookies

Third party cookies are also known as tracking cookies and are often used in conjunction with suppliers. For example, we use a number of social media platforms to advertise our products and services (these include LinkedIn, Meta and Microsoft) and to also reach trade customers and enhance their interaction when they visit the Ideal Heating website. If you already use these platforms cookies could be set to target Ideal Heating’s trade customers. This is because we do not deliberately target consumers because Ideal Heating is a trade only business. It should be noted that data may be collected by these social media platforms to promote Ideal Heating content that they think are relevant to your interests. If you do not use such platforms then Ideal Heating cookies will not be placed on your device.
