Why does the Limelite website use cookies?

These cookies allow us to distinguish you from other users of our website. The cookies we use are “functional” and "analytical" cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the site 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.

The Limelite website uses cookies to remember your preferences and to store data about a visit to our website. The data stored about a visit, or within a session, is lost once you close your browser. If you opt out of cookies this will affect what you see on the Limelite website homepage.

We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
