We do not guarantee that our website, or any content on it, will always be available or be uninterrupted. Access to our website is permitted on a temporary basis. We may suspend, withdraw, discontinue or change all or any part of our website without notice. We will not be liable to you, if for any reason our website is unavailable at any time or for any period.

Protecting Your Information
At Crowncover.co.uk, your security is vitally important to us. We are utterly committed to provide a safe online experience. We use the very latest online security measures to protect your information and privacy.
Although it is difficult to eliminate all threats to your online security, there are some things that you can do in order to reduce the risk against online threats. So we’ve made a little checklist (which is by no means exclusive) to give you the best online experience.
Your Account and Password
If you choose, or you are provided with, a user identification code, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential. You must not disclose this information to any third party.
In order to increase security, we suggest that you use a different password for our website. It is also important to use a random mixture of letters and numbers. This can protect your details from online fraudsters.
We have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time if in our reasonable opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms of Use.
If you know or suspect that anyone other than you knows your user identification code or password, you must promptly notify us at customerservices@crowncover.co.uk.
Keep Your Software Up to Date
Scammers, hackers and fraudsters often exploit security holes in out of date browser and other software. So be sure to keep all of your programs up to date. If you are using a major browser such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari, simply visit the support website for your browser and you should be able to update your software from there.
Check Your Firewall Settings
Any program that connects to the internet is a possible security risk. We recommend taking the time to look at your programs to make sure that the default settings do not leave any holes for fraudsters to exploit.
Beware of Email Scams
Viruses and phishing attempts often come in through email or instant messaging services. Be sure not to click on a link when you are not sure where it has come from. Phishing is where someone sends you a bogus email in an attempt to get access to your information. They may send a fake email from a bank or promise you lots of money if you hand over your information. Don’t do it!
Keep Your WiFi Details Secure
Online fraudsters are increasingly sophisticated. If you have an unsecured WiFi network, someone can use your internet connection for nefarious purposes and even steal your bank details. To prevent this you can set up encryption keys for your router. Most routers have specific instructions for this but you can also contact your internet service provider for more details.
If you need further advice on online security be sure to talk to your bank, your credit card provider and your internet service provider. They should be able to give you more hints and tips to protect yourself.

Cookie Policy
We use cookies and similar tools across our websites to improve their performance and enhance your user experience. This policy explains how we do that.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a site or page. The cookie helps the website, or another website, to recognise your device the next time you visit. Web beacons or other similar files can also do the same thing. We use the term “cookies” in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.
Cookies serve many functions. For example, they can help us to remember your username and preferences, analyse how well our website is performing or even allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you.
Certain cookies contain personal information – for example, if you click “remember me” when logging in, a cookie stores your username. Most cookies won’t collect information that identifies you and will instead collect more general information, such as how users arrive at and use our websites or a user’s general location.
What sort of cookies does Crowncover.co.uk use?
Generally, our cookies perform up to four different functions:
1. Essential Cookies
Some cookies are essential for the operation of our website. For example, some cookies allow us to identify subscribers and ensure they can access the subscription only pages. If a subscriber opts to disable these cookies, the user will not be able to access all of the content that a subscription entitles them to.
2.Analytical and/or Performance Cookies
Some cookies analyse how our visitors use our websites and monitor website performance. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps to improve the way our website works by ensuring that users find what they are looking for easily. For example, we might use performance cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. We might also use these cookies to highlight articles or site services that we think will be of interest to you based on your usage of the website.
3. Functionality Cookies
We use functionality cookies to allow us to remember your preferences for your return visits to our website. For example, cookies save you the trouble of typing in your username every time you access the site. This also enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
4. Behaviourally Targeted Advertising Cookies
Our cookies record your visit to the website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We use this information to make our website, and the advertising displayed on it, more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose anonymously. We do not tell third parties who you are.
Does anyone else use cookies on the Crown Cover website?
Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies –for instance, advertisers sometimes use their own cookies to provide you with targeted advertising.
