Hit Home Limited is registered in England and Wales under company number 11443812. Our registered office address is 16 City Business Centre Suite 233, Hyde Street, Winchester, England, SO23 7TA.

What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are saved on your computer, phone or tablet when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your choices and to give website owners information about how their website is used.
Some cookies are set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”). Others are set by other companies whose services are used on the website (“third-party cookies”).
In this policy, “cookies” also includes similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, which work in a similar way.
How We Use Cookies
We use the following types of cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies: these are needed for the Website to work properly, for example to keep the Website secure, to remember your cookie choices and, for members, to keep you logged in. The law allows Us to use these cookies without your consent, and they cannot be switched off.
- Functionality cookies: these remember choices you make, such as your login details or the area you searched in, so you do not have to enter them again each time you visit. We only use these cookies if you agree to them.
- Analytics cookies: these tell Us how many people visit the Website, which pages they look at and how they found it. This helps Us improve the Website. We only use these cookies if you agree to them.
- Advertising cookies: We may use advertising cookies, such as Google Ads remarketing, to show you adverts for HitHome on other websites after you have visited the Website, and to measure how well Our adverts work. We only use these cookies if you agree to them.
Advertising cookies are set by advertising companies such as Google. These companies may use the information collected to recognise your device across different websites. We do not sell your personal information to advertisers.
