Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy explains how HMIT Group uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle the personal information you give us.

By using this website you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can change your consent choices at any time using the cookie banner that appears when you first visit the site.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the website remember your preferences, understand how the site is used, and provide a better experience. Cookies do not harm your device and do not identify you personally.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies on this website to:

• Remember your consent choices so you do not see the banner every visit
• Understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it
• Measure the effectiveness of our content and see which pages are visited

We do not use cookies to identify you personally or to build a profile of your browsing activity outside this website.

The Cookie Banner

When you first visit this website a consent banner appears. It is provided by Cookiebot, a third party consent tool. The banner lets you choose which categories of cookies you allow. You can change your choices at any time by opening the banner again through your browser settings or by clearing your cookies for this site.

How We Manage Cookies and Your Consent (Cookiebot)

We use Cookiebot, a consent management platform provided by Usercentrics A/S (Denmark), to manage cookies on www.hmitgroup.com. Cookiebot helps us use cookies in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules in Ireland.

What Cookiebot does on our website:

• Shows the consent banner. On your first visit, Cookiebot shows a banner where you can accept or reject cookies by category: Necessary, Preferences, Statistics and Marketing.
• Blocks cookies until you consent. Only strictly necessary cookies load before you choose. Statistics cookies, such as Google Analytics, stay blocked unless you accept them.
• Stores your choice. Your preferences are saved in a cookie called "CookieConsent" so we don't ask you again on every page. Cookiebot also keeps an anonymised record of your consent, with a unique consent ID, the date and time, and the categories you accepted. This record shows that your consent was given lawfully.
• Scans our website regularly. Cookiebot checks our website automatically for new cookies and trackers, so this policy and our cookie declaration stay accurate.
• Lets you change your mind. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using the cookie settings link at the bottom of every page.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Cookiebot groups cookies into four categories:

• Necessary: these cookies are required for the website to function, including remembering your consent choices. They cannot be turned off.
• Preferences: these cookies remember your settings and choices to make the site easier to use.
• Statistics: these cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Google Analytics is used for this purpose.
• Marketing: these cookies may be used to show relevant content. We only set these if you allow them.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about how this website is used. This includes which pages are visited and for how long. Google Analytics stores cookies on your device for this purpose. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can prevent Google Analytics from setting cookies by choosing to reject statistics cookies in the banner.

How Long Cookies Are Kept

The length of time a cookie stays on your device depends on its type. Necessary cookies are kept while you use the site. Statistics cookies set by Google Analytics are typically kept for up to two years. You can delete all cookies for this website at any time through your browser settings, and doing so will reset your consent choices.

How to Delete Cookies

You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers let you refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. Refer to your browser help for instructions. Please note that some parts of this website may not work if you disable all cookies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. This version was last updated on 30/10/2026.
