UK rules on cookies and similar technologies are mainly set out in the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR), alongside UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Practical summaries appear in guides such as Legalo’s website legal requirements article and official ICO materials on cookies and similar technologies.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. “Similar technologies” include local storage, session storage and pixels that store or access information on your device.
2. How we use them
We use storage on your device to:
- Remember your cookie / privacy consent choices (so we do not ask on every visit).
- Maintain compatibility with how modern browsers handle security and preferences.
We do not currently use analytics or advertising cookies on this public marketing site. If that changes, we will update this policy and ask for consent where PECR requires it before switching non-essential technologies on.
3. Third-party requests
Some page assets (for example fonts from Google Fonts or icon stylesheets from Cloudflare cdnjs) are loaded from third-party domains. Your browser may send technical data (such as IP address and referrer) to those providers when fetching files. We list these for transparency; they are not HTTP cookies set by us but may still involve processing of connection data. See providers’ privacy notices for detail.
