Cookie policy
EWL Living Development Company Limited and its associated companies (“EWL Living“, “We” and “Us“) are committed to protecting and respecting your individual privacy.
Like most websites, this one uses “cookies“. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer by your browser. They’re used for many things, such as remembering whether you’ve visited the website before, so that you remain logged in — or to help us work out how many new website visitors we get each month. They contain information about the use of your computer but don’t store your name, for instance.
This policy explains how cookies are used at EWL Living — and, below, how you can control the cookies that may be used on this website.
Our use of cookies
We use necessary cookies to support core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. With your permission, we may use other cookies which allow us to identify your computer and find out details about your last visit and analyse your use of this website.
You can choose, below, not to allow cookies. If you do, we can’t guarantee that your experience with the website will be as good as if you do allow cookies.
The information collected by cookies includes general information about your computer settings, your connection to the Internet (e.g. operating system and platform, IP address), your browsing patterns and timings of browsing on the website, and your location. Some of this information may be “personal data”; so please read our Privacy Policy accessible here.
The majority of browsers will allow you to alter the settings used for cookies and to disable and enable them as you require. You can reject all cookies (except strictly necessary cookies) if you prefer, and you can have your computer warn you whenever cookies are being used. You can delete the cookies that are already on your computer and you can set your browser to prevent them from being placed. Disabling cookies may, however, prevent some web services (including on this website) from working correctly.
To disable cookies, or to receive a warning whenever cookies are being used, you have to adjust your browser settings. Visit the “help” section of your browser for how to manage your cookie settings, or follow the links below:

Types of cookies that may be used during your visit to the website
The following types of cookie are used on this website:
1. Personalisation cookies
These cookies are used to recognise repeat visitors to the website and, in conjunction with other information we hold, to record specific browsing information (such as the way you arrive at the website, pages you view, options you select, information you enter, and the path you take through the website). These are used to recommend content we think you’ll be interested in based on what you’ve looked at before.
For example, we use these cookies to remember your settings and preferences (e.g. language preferences) and to remember your information so you will not have to re-enter it when using our website.
We also use cookies to personalise your use of our website, including to serve you personalised advertising, content and information that may better suit your needs.
2. Analytics cookies
These monitor how visitors move around the website and how they reached it. This helps us see total (not individual) figures on which types of content users enjoy most. We use cookies to understand your use of our websites and how we can improve our offerings.
For example, we use cookies to track whether you open emails we send you and to monitor and analyse the effectiveness of our services, including aggregate website usage metrics such as total visitors and pages viewed.
Google Analytics is a service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), which we use to collect anonymised statistics on our website.

3. Third-party service cookies
We sometimes embed content and sharing tools from other (third party) sites. When you visit our website with embedded third-party content or sharing tools, you may be presented with cookies from those third parties’ sites. We do not control the dissemination of these cookies. You should check the relevant third-party website(s) for more information and how to opt out.
You can generally disable third-party cookies via your browser settings. Instructions may be found at www.aboutcookies.org.
Here are examples of third-party services we may use:
- Twitter’s privacy policy
- YouTube video player cookie policy
- AddThis
4. Website management cookies
These are used to maintain your identity or session on the website. For instance, if our websites run on more than one server, we use a cookie to ensure that you are sent information by one specific server (otherwise you may log in or out unexpectedly).
We may use similar cookies for opinion polls (to ensure you can vote only once), or for commenting functionality (to ensure you don’t see comments you’ve reported as abusive or vote multiple times).
We also use these cookies to authenticate you and secure our website — monitoring login, session, and status data (e.g., whether you are logged in).
