What are cookies?
The Devonshire Group website may use cookies to store information on your local computer. Cookies can monitor how and when a site is used and help to provide you with information tailored to your individual needs. These cookies do not contain any personal data and will not identify you personally.
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your personal computer, mobile or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device.
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, track information about the visit, and generally improve the user experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
Users must opt in to allow cookies to be set in order to comply with the EU cookie law. If you choose not to do so, note that some parts of the website may not function properly.
