1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites function more efficiently and to provide statistical information to the owners of the site. Alongside cookies, we may use similar technologies such as HTML5 local storage.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We classify our cookies into the following operational categories:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for you to browse the website and use its core features. For example, our system uses local storage to remember your cookie consent preferences, ensuring the banner does not repeatedly disrupt your experience.
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous information about how visitors use our website (e.g., measuring traffic originating from specific UK regions). This helps us improve our site's layout and content. We use privacy-conscious analytics tools that do not collect personally identifiable information.
- Functionality Cookies: Allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features during your session.
3. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-Party Cookies are set directly by voltpixelspt.bond. Third-Party Cookies are set by trusted external services (such as secure analytics platforms). We rigorously vet any third-party tools to ensure they comply with UK GDPR regulations, particularly regarding the prevention of cross-site tracking without consent.
4. Cookie Retention Periods
The lifespan of a cookie depends on its intended function:
- Session Cookies: Temporary files that are automatically erased when you close your web browser.
- Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device until they reach a predetermined expiry date or you manually delete them. For example, our consent preference record is kept as a persistent item in your browser's local storage for a maximum of 12 months.
5. How You Can Manage Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can exercise your initial preferences through our Cookie Banner when you first visit the site.
Furthermore, most web browsers allow granular control of cookies through their settings menu. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. To find out more about managing cookies across different browsers, visit aboutcookies.org.
