Consent & Preferences
7.1 How We Obtain Consent
In accordance with UK GDPR, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), and EU ePrivacy Directive requirements, we obtain your consent before setting any non-essential cookies.
Consent is obtained through our cookie consent banner, which appears when you first visit our website. We use a "consent-first" approach, meaning:
- Non-essential cookies are not set until you provide consent
- You can provide granular consent for each cookie category
- Rejecting cookies is as easy as accepting them
- Your consent choice is stored so you're not asked repeatedly
7.2 Withdrawing Consent
You can withdraw your consent at any time by:
- Clicking "Cookie Settings" in the website footer
- Clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site
- Adjusting your browser settings to block cookies
When you withdraw consent, we will stop setting new non-essential cookies. However, cookies already set will remain until they expire or you delete them.
7.3 Consent Records
We keep records of your consent choices as required by law. This includes the date and time of consent, the categories you consented to, and your IP address (anonymised).
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons.
When we make changes:
- We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
- For significant changes, we will display the cookie consent banner again
- We may notify you via email for material changes affecting your rights
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
