Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 25 January 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit — such as your language preference or whether you've dismissed a notice — so that your next visit is more convenient and the site more useful to you.
Most websites use cookies in some form. They are a standard part of how the web works, and are not harmful to your device. You can control how cookies are used through your browser settings and through the preference controls on this page.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They handle basic things like page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your cookie consent choice. Without these cookies, the site cannot operate as intended.
Examples: session management, security tokens, cookie consent state
Always active — cannot be disabled
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are most visited, how long people spend on the site, and where visitors come from. This information is collected in an aggregated, anonymised form and helps us improve the site experience over time.
Examples: Google Analytics, page view tracking, session duration
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be set through our site by advertising partners. They can be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content or adverts on other sites. They do not store personal information directly, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.
Examples: Facebook Pixel, Google Ads remarketing, conversion tracking
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made — such as your preferred language or region — and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may also be used to remember changes you have made to text size or other customisable parts of the site.
Examples: language selection, region settings, display preferences
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies. The third-party services we may use include:
Google Analytics — helps us measure website traffic and understand usage patterns. Google's privacy policy applies to the data they collect.
Facebook / Meta — if we run advertising campaigns, the Facebook Pixel may be present to measure ad effectiveness. Meta's data policy governs this data.
Microsoft Bing — conversion tracking for advertising campaigns run through the Bing network. Microsoft's privacy statement applies.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties to understand how they handle your data.
4. Cookie Duration
Cookies can last for different lengths of time depending on their purpose:
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are typically used to keep you logged in during a single browsing session.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. Typical durations range from 30 days (for short-term preferences) to 24 months (for analytics identifiers). The specific duration depends on the cookie's function.
5. Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences below. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the website to function. Changes are saved and will be reflected across the site.
6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
In addition to the controls above, most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. Below are instructions for common browsers. Please note that restricting cookies may impact your experience on some websites.
Google Chrome
Open Chrome and click the three-dot menu in the top right. Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data. From here you can block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or clear cookies when you close Chrome. You can also add specific sites to allow or block lists.
Mozilla Firefox
Open Firefox and click the hamburger menu. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security. Under Enhanced Tracking Protection, you can choose Standard, Strict, or Custom. The Custom option lets you select which trackers and cookies to block. You can also manage exceptions for specific websites.

On mobile devices, cookie settings are usually found within the browser's settings menu. On iOS Safari, go to Settings > Safari > Privacy & Security. On Android Chrome, open Chrome > Settings > Site settings > Cookies. The available options are similar to their desktop counterparts.
7. Your Rights and Control
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject optional cookies. You can exercise your preferences using the toggle controls above, through your browser settings, or by contacting us directly.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before the withdrawal. If you choose to disable analytics or marketing cookies, some features of the site may not function as intended, though core content will remain accessible.
If you have questions about how cookies are used on this site, or wish to exercise your data protection rights, please contact us at privacy@paracline.
