Cookies Policy

Last updated: 15 January 2024

This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how crisp-pursuit Ltd uses them on our website, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. We're committed to being transparent about the technologies we use.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit them. They serve various purposes, from remembering your preferences to helping us understand how visitors use our site.

Cookies are widely used across the internet and are essential for many website features to work properly. They don't typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, though they can be linked to personal data we hold about you.

Types of Cookies We Use

We categorise the cookies on our website into three groups:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function. Without them, certain features would not work. They enable core functionality such as:

  • Remembering your cookie consent preferences
  • Maintaining security during your visit
  • Enabling page navigation and access to secure areas

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they cannot be disabled. They do not require your consent.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration
cookie_consent Stores your cookie preferences 1 year
session_id Maintains your session while browsing Session

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve the site for future visitors. These cookies may track:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • How you arrived at our site (e.g., search engine, direct link)
  • General geographic location (city/country level)
  • Browser and device information
Cookie Name Provider Purpose Duration
_ga Google Analytics Distinguishes unique users 2 years
_ga_* Google Analytics Maintains session state 2 years
_gid Google Analytics Distinguishes users 24 hours

Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Marketing cookies remember that you have visited a website and may share this information with other organisations such as advertisers.

Cookie Name Provider Purpose Duration
_fbp Facebook Deliver advertisements 3 months
_gcl_au Google Ads Conversion tracking 3 months

First-Party vs Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by our website (crisp-pursuit.com). We control these cookies and use them primarily for essential functions and basic analytics.

Third-party cookies are set by external services we use, such as Google Analytics. These services have their own privacy policies governing how they use the data collected. We've selected partners who comply with applicable data protection laws.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies:

Using Our Cookie Settings

When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the button below:

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these options in the "Settings," "Options," or "Preferences" menu. Common browsers:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Be aware that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of websites, including ours.

Opt-Out Tools

For analytics and advertising cookies specifically, you can use industry opt-out tools:

  • Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
  • Your Online Choices (youronlinechoices.com) for EU/UK users
  • Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page

Cookie Consent

Under UK law (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, as amended), we must obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

When you first visit our site, only essential cookies are activated. Analytics and marketing cookies are only enabled if you actively consent by clicking "Accept All" or toggling them on in your preferences.

Your consent preferences are stored in a cookie called "cookie_consent" which expires after one year. After this period, or if you clear your cookies, you'll be asked for consent again.

Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies:

  • Local Storage: Similar to cookies but can store more data. Used for remembering preferences.
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage cleared when you close your browser. Used for maintaining state during your visit.

These technologies are governed by the same consent requirements as cookies.

Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you don't want your browsing activity tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our site does not currently respond to DNT browser settings, but you can manage tracking through our cookie preferences.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The "last updated" date at the top indicates when this policy was last revised.

Significant changes will be communicated through our cookie banner or other prominent notice on our website.
