What are cookies?

Cookies are very small text files that are downloaded on to your computer, tablet or mobile when you visit a website. This is a common feature of almost all websites today because they enable features that make websites easier to use. 

How do we use cookies on www.firstcentralgroup.com?

We use cookies to:

Types of cookies

There are two types of cookies: ‘session’ and ‘persistent’ cookies.

Session cookies

These cookies allow us to remember you within any one visit to our site. They help us tie together your web experience as you move from page to page. These will automatically be enabled, unless you choose to disable them.

The following is a list of the persistent cookies we use and the reasons we use them:

Google Analytics

Content Management System 

Our Content Management System uses a small number of cookies to remember user settings including which cookies are enabled/disabled.
