Cookie policy
The delivered website does not intentionally set non-essential cookies and does not load analytics, advertising, social-media embeds or third-party tracking scripts. The catalogue search and category filters run locally in the browser against content already in the page; they do not require a tracking identifier. This privacy-minimising design keeps the initial site fast and reduces unnecessary consent friction.
How we apply this
Under UK PECR and current ICO guidance, organisations must provide clear information about storage and access technologies and normally obtain valid consent before using non-essential technologies. Strictly necessary storage can be exempt in defined circumstances. If analytics, advertising, personalisation, chat widgets, embedded video or another service is added later, the operator must assess the technology before deployment and implement an appropriate consent mechanism where required rather than setting tracking first and asking afterwards.
What must be verified
Hosting platforms, security services or CDNs can introduce their own cookies or similar technologies. A final live-site check should therefore inspect the actual browser storage and network requests after deployment. This policy describes the supplied codebase; it cannot certify future hosting or third-party additions that are outside the ZIP.
