Cookies are small text files placed on a browser or device. Similar technologies can use local storage, pixels, SDKs or identifiers to remember preferences, secure sessions, understand website performance or provide features.
2. Categories we may use
Strictly necessary
Required for security, session management, navigation and requested services. These should not be disabled through the consent tool where they are essential.
Preferences
Remember choices such as language. The current website stores a language preference locally in your browser.
Analytics and performance
May help understand traffic, errors and feature performance. These should remain disabled until valid consent is obtained where required.
Advertising or social media
May measure campaigns or enable third-party features. These should not be activated without appropriate notice, consent and vendor review.
3. Translation services
If you select a language, the page may load Google Translate and send page content and technical request information to that provider. Review and disclose the provider’s role before production use.
4. Managing your choices
A production consent banner should allow users to accept, reject or customise non-essential categories. You can also use browser controls to remove stored data, but disabling necessary storage may affect functionality.
5. Changes to this policy
This policy and the production cookie inventory should be updated whenever technologies, providers, purposes or retention periods change. Fresh consent may be required for material changes.
6. Contact and reference
Insert the official privacy contact before launch. The UK Information Commissioner’s Office explains that organisations should provide clear information and obtain consent for non-essential cookies where the rules apply.
