Cookie Policy
Last updated: 30 October 2026
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They help a website work, remember your choices and understand how it is used. Similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, do the same job. In this policy we call all of these "cookies".
This policy explains which cookies https://creditandsuretybrokers.com (the "Site") uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. The Site is run by Credit and Surety Brokers Limited.
2. How we use cookies
We only set cookies that are strictly necessary without asking you first. For anything else, we ask for your permission, using the cookie banner when you first visit. Optional cookies stay switched off until you accept them, and you can change your mind at any time (see section 5).
We use two types of cookie:
- Strictly necessary cookies are needed to make the Site work or to remember your choices. They can't be switched off. At the moment we use one.
- Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site, so we can improve it. We only set these if you accept them.
We don't use advertising or marketing cookies.

4. Google Analytics
If you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google. It collects information such as the pages you view, how long you stay, the type of device and browser you use, the website you came from and your approximate location. We use it to produce reports about how the Site is used. We don't use it to identify you.
We have switched off Google's advertising features, and we don't use Google Analytics data for advertising. Google may process this information on servers outside the UK. Where it does, the safeguards required by UK data protection law apply.
You can read how Google uses data at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites (opens in a new tab).
