Last modified: 12/19/2019
This document explains what you need to know about how United Site Services uses cookies on its websites, and how to choose to manage or remove them if you wish to do so.
Cookies are small data files which are sent to a user’s computer or mobile phone from a website and are stored on the hard drive of the user’s device. They help to make a website work better for a user.
When landing on United Site Services’ website, you have been given the opportunity to accept cookies used on this website or to decline all cookies. If you have accepted our use of some or all cookies, the following information relates to cookies used on this website only. On United Site Services website users can manage and/or delete cookies as they wish. Information about how to do this is provided in the section “How to manage cookies”.
A cookie is a small amount of data (which often includes a unique identifier) that is sent to a user’s computer or mobile phone from a website and is stored on the hard drive of the device. Each website can send its cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their website to report on website traffic. Your browser will only permit United Site Services to access the cookies set by United Site Services.
Cookies on the United Site Services website are used in a number of ways. A full list of all the cookies used across United Site Services sites can be found in the “List of Cookies” used on United Site Services’ site.
Analytics
United Site Services uses a range of analytic tools to collect information about how people use its sites to help us assess whether the site meets user needs and to determine how we could improve the user’s experience.
Analytic cookies store information about what pages people visit, how long they are on the site, how they got there, and what content they access. Information supplied by cookies helps United Site Services to analyze the profile of visitors and provide them with a better experience.
Analytic type cookies do not collect or store a user’s personal information (for example, names or addresses), so this information in the cookie cannot be used to identify individuals. United Site Services does not allow analytics companies to use or share their data.
Profile Management
The preference center allows users to retrieve personal information and account details of their communication preferences. This site uses a cookie to remember account information.
Storing Your Usability and Accessibility Settings
The United Site Services website provides settings that allow you to resize text or improve the performance of the site, or keep it on your preferred language. If you switch these settings on, we store the settings in a cookie, so that they apply to each page you view.
There are two broad categories of cookies:
- First-Party Cookies, served directly by United Site Services to your device.
- Third-Party Cookies, which are served by a third party on United Site Services’ behalf.
Third-party cookies are not set directly by United Site Services. They are set by the third-party service or functionality providers.
United Site Services does not control the distribution of these cookies. For more information about the cookies used by these suppliers, including how to opt-out, view their individual privacy policies listed below.
Google Analytics stores the information collected by the cookie on servers in the United States. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

As indicated, some cookies are not set by United Site Services websites but by other sites (see table above) providing a service or functionality on United Site Services websites. Managing, deleting, or blocking these cookies requires you to visit the websites of these third parties.

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different lengths of time. Some cookies are “session cookies,” meaning that they removed when the user closes the internet browser and automatically deleted when the browser closes.
