Privacy Policy
Howarth Timber Group Ltd is committed to respecting your privacy. In general,
you can visit Howarth Online without revealing any information about yourself
however some information is required in order to process orders. We may
analyse this data for trends and statistics to help us provide you with a
better service.
To process your order, we require your name, billing address, phone number, email address and credit card
information. We use this information to process your order and, if any questions should arise, to contact you about
your order.
If we need to contact you, we will contact you via email first. If unsuccessful (or time is critical), we will try to contact
you by phone.
CREDIT CARD DETAILS
When you make a purchase from Howarth Online, your web browser connects with the HSBC website through
an SSL (“Secure Sockets Layer”). SSL is an industry-standard protocol for encryption over the Internet. When
information is encrypted, it is scrambled between your computer and the server. The information is only unscrambled
when it safely reaches HSBC. It’s fast and safe, and it ensures that your personal information cannot be read by
anyone else.
During the order process, no Credit Card information is stored on any systems owned or operated by Howarth Timber
Group Ltd.
COOKIE INFORMATION
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile
phone (referred to here as a “device”) browser from a website’s computer and is stored on your device’s hard drive.
Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your
privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to
you by other websites. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.
We may collect information about activity on our websites, or we may use other organisations to collect the
information and to share the results with us. We use this information to analyse statistics; track pages and paths used
by visitors to our websites; target the banner adverts on our websites and on the websites of other organisations; and
track the use of our internet banner adverts and other links from our marketing partners’ websites to our websites.
For these purposes, we and the other organisations we use keep information on the path you take to get to our
websites and on the pages you visit on our websites, using cookies and web beacons. You cannot be personally
identified from the information that we or these other organisations collect.
Information supplied by cookies can help Howarth Online to analyse the profile of our visitors, what products they are
interested in and what they buy. This helps us to provide future visitors with a better shopping experience. Users
have the opportunity to set their devices to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to
receive cookies at any time. The last of these means that certain personalised features cannot then be provided to
that user and accordingly they may not be able to take full advantage of all of the website’s features. Each browser is
different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.
Information on deleting or controlling cookies and what they are used for is available at these websites
www.AboutCookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.com/uk. Please note that by deleting our cookies or disabling
future cookies you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our site.

Personal information is deemed to have been submitted voluntarily, and will consist of such details as your name,
