Curzon website
Curzon & Company is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Whilst we do not ask for any personal information whilst you are browsing or using our website, we do utilise tools or systems that may capture information relating to your visit(s). These are detailed as follows. Should you disagree with any of the information contained within, please do not continue to use our website.

Cookies: As is the case for most websites, this site uses cookies to understand how our website is used, and to inform future improvements. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone or other device used to access a website. Cookies allow websites to recognise a user’s device and store some information about the user’s preferences and past actions. They do not store any personal information, and cannot contain viruses.

We won’t use our website or social media platforms to collect any personal information (such as your name, telephone number, email address) without your explicit consent to provide it to us. Cookies cannot capture this information.

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to measure and evaluate our website traffic and understand user engagement with our webpages. Google Analytics uses cookies to analyse how visitors use our website, but does not store any personally identifiable information.

The cookies used by Google Analytics do track your Internet Protocol (IP) address. Every computer and device connected to the internet is assigned an IP address. IP addresses are usually assigned in country-based blocks and can often be used to identify the country, state and city from which a computer is connecting to the Internet. Because IP addresses need to be used by websites in order for the Internet to function, website owners have access to the IP addresses of their visitors regardless of whether or not they use Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses IP addresses to provide and protect the security of the service, and to give website owners a sense of where in the world their visitors come from (also known as “IP geolocation”). Google Analytics does not share actual IP address information with Google Analytics customers.

Should you wish to opt out of Google Analytics, you can do so here.

Links to other websites: Our website may contain links to other websites. If you choose to click any such link, you are leaving our website and should therefore note that we do not have control over that website. Any such website is not governed by this privacy statement, and we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information provided whilst visiting any other websites. Please refer to the privacy statement of the website in question.
