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:

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.
