This Cookie Policy explains how GIGGABIT LTD uses cookies and similar technologies on giggabit.co.uk. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we process personal data more generally.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work more efficiently, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use a service. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels; where this policy refers to "cookies", it includes those technologies where they store or access information on your device.
How we use cookies
We use cookies only where permitted by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended, and UK data protection law. Non-essential cookies require your consent before they are set or read (except where limited exemptions apply).
Cookie categories
Strictly necessary
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, such as setting privacy preferences.
- Name:
giggabit-consent - Purpose: stores your cookie consent choices (e.g. which optional categories you have accepted) so we do not ask you on every visit.
- Duration: approximately one (1) year from the date it is set or refreshed.
Analytics
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website (for example, which pages are viewed and how the site performs). We only use analytics cookies if you have given consent through our cookie banner or preference centre.
Current status: we do not deploy analytics cookies by default. A placeholder is reserved for future use of a product such as PostHog; if activated, we will list each analytics cookie by name, provider, purpose, and duration in this section and obtain consent before setting them.
Functional
Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalisation (for example, remembering a form field or UI preference). We only use functional cookies that are not strictly necessary if you have consented.
Current status: none deployed at present beyond what is strictly necessary for core site operation.
Third-party cookies
We do not currently use third-party advertising or social media cookies on this site. If that changes, we will update this policy and, where required, seek your consent before those cookies are set.
How to manage cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Our cookie banner / preferences: use the controls we provide when you first visit or via any "Cookie settings" link we make available to change optional categories.
- Your browser: most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how the site functions.
More information
For how we use personal data collected through the site, including rights you have under UK GDPR, see our Privacy Policy.
