Cookie Policy

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on www.onebritabroad.co.uk ("the Website"), the types of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies, and how that information is used. This Policy should be read alongside our main Privacy Policy, which provides more detailed information about how we handle your personal data.

1.2. Our use of cookies is designed to enhance your experience of our Website, and to help us understand how our readers engage with our content. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use.

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

2.1. A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

2.2. Cookies can be categorised as follows:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary and are erased when you close your browser.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.
• First-Party Cookies: These are set by the website you are visiting (i.e., by us).
• Third-Party Cookies: These are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting.

3. HOW WE USE COOKIES

3.1. We use cookies to distinguish you from other users of our Website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our Website and also allows us to improve our site. The cookies we use do not store any personally identifiable information about you.

3.2. In compliance with United Kingdom law, specifically the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we make a distinction between cookies that are "strictly necessary" for the functioning of the Website and those that are "non-essential".

4. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

We use the following types of cookies on the Website:

4.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

• These cookies are essential for you to browse the Website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Without these cookies, the Website cannot function correctly. They are typically first-party session cookies.
• Purpose: To manage network traffic, for security purposes (such as preventing cross-site request forgery), and to ensure the basic operational integrity of the Website.
• Consent: Under UK law, we are not required to obtain your consent to place these cookies.

4.2. Analytical / Performance Cookies

• These cookies are non-essential and collect information about how visitors use our Website. For instance, they tell us which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how the Website works.
• Specific Use: We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of our Website. Google Analytics gathers information about website use by means of cookies. The information gathered is used to create reports about the use of our Website.
• Data Collected: Google Analytics may collect your IP address (which is often anonymised or truncated by Google), browser type, referring pages, and the time spent on pages.
• Consent: These cookies will only be set on your device if you provide your explicit consent. You will be asked for this consent via our cookie consent banner when you first visit the Website.

5. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

5.1. The analytical cookies described above are third-party cookies set by Google. We do not control the setting of these cookies. We recommend that you review Google's own privacy and cookie policies for further information:

• Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• How Google uses information from sites or apps that use their services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

5.2. Please note that we do not use any advertising or targeting cookies on our Website.

6. MANAGING YOUR COOKIE PREFERENCES

6.1. Via Our Consent Management Tool: When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie banner which allows you to accept or reject the use of non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by revisiting the consent tool, which can typically be accessed via a link in the website footer. Declining consent will prevent analytical cookies from being placed on your device.

6.2. Via Your Browser Settings: You can also control and/or delete cookies as you wish. Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work.

7. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

7.1. We may update this policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
