2. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
UK law on cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (as amended) — often called the “PECR” — and the UK GDPR.
Strictly necessary cookies
We do not need your consent to set cookies that are strictly necessary for a service you have specifically requested. These cookies are set automatically.
All other cookies
For any cookie that is not strictly necessary — including performance and marketing cookies — we need your consent before setting it. You can give or withdraw consent using the preference controls described in Section 6.
3. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core features such as secure login, session management, and checkout. You do not need to consent to these cookies.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|
| __session | Maintains your authenticated session during the audit upload and checkout process | Session (deleted when browser closed) |
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie preference so we do not ask again on each visit | 12 months |
| [PLACEHOLDER] | [PLACEHOLDER: add any additional strictly necessary cookies set by the framework or hosting provider] | [PLACEHOLDER] |
4. Performance & Analytics Cookies
Performance cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it. All information collected is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify individual visitors. We will only set these cookies if you consent.
| Provider | Purpose | Data transferred outside UK? |
|---|---|---|
| Plausible Analytics | Privacy-friendly, cookieless page-view analytics. Plausible does not use cookies by default and does not collect personal data. It is included here for transparency. | No — EU servers only |
| [PLACEHOLDER] | [PLACEHOLDER: add any other analytics providers used] | [PLACEHOLDER] |
5. Marketing & Targeting Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites in order to show relevant advertisements. We will only set these cookies if you give explicit consent.
Current status: [PLACEHOLDER: confirm whether any marketing or retargeting pixels are in use — e.g. Google Ads conversion tracking, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag. If none are used, replace this section with a statement that no marketing cookies are set and this category will be used if targeting is introduced in the future.]
6. How to Manage Your Preferences
6.1 Cookie consent banner
When you first visit pensiontech.uk, a cookie consent banner will appear. You can:
- Accept all cookies
- Accept only strictly necessary cookies
- Set granular preferences for each category
You can change your preferences at any time by [PLACEHOLDER: describe how — e.g. clicking the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of any page, or re-triggering the consent banner].
6.2 Browser settings
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies currently stored on your device
- Delete individual or all cookies
- Block third-party cookies
- Set your browser to notify you when a website tries to set a cookie
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will affect the functioning of our website — for example, you may not be able to log in or complete a checkout.
7. Changes to This Policy
We review this Cookie Policy whenever we change the technologies used on our website, or whenever the law or ICO guidance changes materially. The “Last reviewed” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update. We will notify you of significant changes through a refreshed consent banner.
