What are cookies?
To enable full functionality, and for us to constantly improve it, we need to store a small file (called a cookie) on the device you are using to browse the site. Almost every website in the world does this, however, since 25 May 2011, by law we have to get your permission first.
Cookies are regularly used to record certain aspects of your visit to a site, such as preferences you’ve set or choices you have made throughout the duration of your visit.
Why and how we use cookies
Cookies enable us to enhance your visit to our website by making it easier for you to navigate the website. Through our use of cookies we can automatically assist with such things as managing your account, policies and login details and can make it easier for you when entering competitions or applying for products and services.
Analysis of these cookies means we can improve your visit by tailoring the content of our website so that you will see services or adverts that we think may be more relevant to your visit.
Analysing cookies: Keeping your personal information safe
The cookies we use DO NOT store personal information such as your name, phone number, address, email or similar, in a format that can be read by others. Furthermore, the cookies we use are unable to interrogate your web-enabled device to obtain information about you or other users of your device or read any information stored on the device.
The cookies we use will however store anonymous encrypted information relating to your account username and/or password that is used for subsequent visits to the website using the same device as the cookies are stored on. The cookies will typically log your IP address and session information, such as how long you visited and the type of browser used. The encrypted information stored as cookies on your device will be owned by and can only be read by Liberty Insurance Brokers Ltd and partners that it has agreed to share information with, for example IT providers who assist with interpreting these cookies for system administration and to provide statistics and insurers who may use plug-in applications that use our website to offer their particular product or service through.
Links on this website to websites provided by other organisations
Our website will contain both direct and indirect links to a variety of other websites. A Direct link will usually be in the form of an alternative website address access by clinking on a particular section of our website.
An indirect link will usually be in the form of suggesting another website where no link is provided. For example, referring to a particularly useful subject link of another website we feel will be of interest to the user.
If you use either the direct or indirect link which takes you from our website to another website, please be aware that the website provider should have their own privacy and cookie policies for the site. It is impractical for our organisation to monitor all the direct and indirect links which can change on a frequent basis and we therefore recommend you remain vigilant and read the policies of these websites as we shall not be responsible or liable for any aspect of your device accessing the site not owned or under the control of Liberty insurance Brokers Ltd.
Whilst every effort will be made to ensure only reputable links are provided, the nature of cyber crime means that users could inadvertently arrive at unreliable websites and users are therefore reminded to remain vigilant.

WHY YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS OBTAINED
Web browsing experiences will often benefit when you consent to allowing our site to store cookies on your computer. This may speed up browsing, and will often allow relevant information to be displayed in priority to other information we feel may not be as relevant to you.
The browsing activity will also help us to analyse which pages are most popular and which pages are not popular and therefore possibly unnecessary on our website.
Overall, and in general, our main purpose will be to analyse web traffic in order to make the website a better experience for browsers/users of our website.
We will provide an option to opt-out of this data collection for users who do not wish to contribute to our web development programme, but we would hope that users would be willing to help us provide better browsing experiences where possible. To exercise this right, users are directed to our cookies policy and in particular, information regarding how to turn cookie’s off for your particular web browsing device/tool.

We may collect, process and store the following data about you (which may include personal data and/or sensitive personal data):
*) Information collated from completing an on-line form on the website or from responding to a request for additional information, such as instances where you may report a problem with the website.

*) Liberty Insurance Brokers Ltd have a policy of not recording calls where data capture includes collecting bank debit/credit/charge card details to process payment for a particular product or service. This is for your safety to ensure your personal bank card details cannot be stored in a retrieval type medium exposing the security of your personal card details. This does not always extend to bank account details, such as sort codes and account numbers that are not considered as requiring the same amount of protection as bank cards. Where possible we shall avoid recording this data. However, where this data (bank account number, sort code and account name) is collected and stored in a retrieval type medium Liberty Insurance Brokers will endeavour to ensure the data remains encrypted and password protected with limited access. If you feel your personal details have been breached in any way our advice would be to advise your bank whilst changing your bank details with immediate effect and without delay. If you feel this exposure has been the fault of Liberty Insurance Brokers Ltd or any of its subsidiaries, then you are entitled to contact our regulator, The Financial Conduct Authority who will provide further guidance of the organisations who regulate personal data in the financial services sector.
