Last updated: 20th May 2025
This Cookie Notice applies to the use of cookies and other similar tracking technologies used by Hunter Douglas UK Trade Limited on www.hduktrade.com and/or mobile app(s).
The purpose of this Cookie Notice is to provide you with information about what cookies are and how they work. It also explains what cookies we use, what they do and how you can control what cookies we use when you visit one of our websites/apps.

Cookies and their purpose
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your devices (e.g., computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) when you visit a website or app. Cookies can be used for different purposes. They allow a website to be more secure, they can recognise a user’s device, their preferences or selected language and currency, and can generally help us provide you with a more personalised experience. They can also help deliver ads that are personalised to you.
Categories of cookies
There are three types of cookies that we use on our website or app:
Strictly necessary cookies: These are cookies that are essential for us to provide you with the services you request on the website/app and to keep the website/app secure. We do not ask for consent to these cookies because without them the website/app would not operate properly. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but the Digital Properties then will not function correctly.
Analytics cookies: Analytics cookies collect information about our website/app visitors for statistical purposes, including to help us understand how many people visit the website/app and what parts of the website/app they look at. They help us to monitor how our website/app are used and so that we can continuously improve it. Analytics cookies are only used if you consent to them in the <a class="ot-sdk-show-settings">Cookie Settings</a>.
Advertising cookies: These cookies collect information about your browsing activities in order to show you advertisements that are more likely to be relevant to your interests (both on and off of our website/app). Advertising cookies are only used if you consent to them in the <a class="ot-sdk-show-settings">Cookie Settings</a>.
The categories of cookies we use can be divided between:
“First party” and “Third party” cookies. First party cookies are set by us, the owners of the website/app. Third party cookies are set by our third party service providers to deliver services on our behalf or in cooperation with us. First party cookies only collect information about your use of our website/app, while third party cookies set by our service providers may also collect information about your use of third party websites that also use the relevant service provider’s services.
“Session” cookies or “Persistent” cookies. Session cookies are cookies that are deleted when you close your internet browser. Persistent cookies have specified expiry periods determined by the first or third party that sets them and so are not deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies enable websites, for example, to recognise whether someone is a new or returning visitor to the website.
Changing your cookie preferences
To manage the cookies used by the website/app, please visit our <a class="ot-sdk-show-settings">Cookie Settings</a>. This will enable you to see more details about the types of cookies we set and to accept or refuse their use.
Please note that the cookie preferences you set through our Cookie Settings will affect only the browser on the device you are using at that time. If you wish to change preferences in other browsers and devices, please visit our <a class="ot-sdk-show-settings">Cookie Settings</a> on those other browsers and devices.
Blocking all cookies via browser settings
If you want to block all cookies, you may be able to do so through the settings in your browser. Please be aware that doing so may also block strictly necessary cookies which are essential for our website/app to operate, and consequently some areas of the website/app may not work properly.
More information on how to manage these settings on common browsers and devices are below.
• Manage cookie settings in Chrome and Chrome Android and Chrome iOS
• Manage cookie settings in Microsoft Edge
• Manage cookie settings in Safari and Safari iOS
• Manage cookie settings in Firefox
Third party tracking via cookies
If you have consented to receive third-party functional, analytics, and/or advertising cookies, it may be possible for the third-party providers of these cookies to track your browsing behaviour when you leave one of our website/app. You can change your cookie preferences to refuse these cookies at any time using the <a class="ot-sdk-show-settings">Cookie Settings</a>.
Tracking technologies on mobile apps
Like many Digital Property providers, we may use tracking technologies like software development kits, application programmable interface, local storage, and device identifiers on our mobile apps.
The purposes of these technologies vary but may include maintaining the app’s speed and functionality and assigning a unique number to your device to deliver advertising or remember your preferences.
You can control the use of these technologies via your device settings (e.g., often through the “privacy” settings).

You can read our [James Beech please insert - PRIVACY NOTICE (HYPERLINK)] to have more information on how we use the personal information we collected about you via cookies on our Digital Properties, how we transfer them to countries other than the country in which you reside and what rights you can exercise.
