Cookie Policy

Last updated 15 September 2026

This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on www.securitise.uk, why we use them and how you can control them. It forms part of our Privacy Notice.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as browser local and session storage, work in a comparable way. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, we must ask for your consent before using cookies that are not strictly necessary for the website to work or for a service you have asked for.

How we use them

• Strictly necessary: to make the site work, keep it secure, protect our forms from bots, keep your enquiry answers while you fill in the form, and remember your cookie choices. These do not require consent.
• Analytics: to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it, using tools such as Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. They are only loaded after you accept analytics cookies.
• Marketing: to measure how well our advertising works and show relevant adverts to businesses, using LinkedIn, Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising. They are only loaded after you accept marketing cookies.

Cookies on this website

This schedule lists every cookie and similar technology our website sets or may set. Third-party analytics and marketing tools are only switched on if we choose to use them, and even then they are never loaded until you accept that category.

None currently used. If this changes, this schedule will be updated and we will ask for your consent where it is required.

Managing cookies

You can accept or reject analytics and marketing cookies separately using the banner shown on your first visit, and change your choice at any time with the cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw consent, we stop loading those tools and remove their cookies from our domain. Cookies set by LinkedIn, Google or Microsoft on their own domains can be managed in your browser or in your account settings with those companies.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site, such as the enquiry form or client document library, from working. You can opt out of Google Analytics on all websites using Google’s opt-out browser add-on, and manage advertising preferences at LinkedIn, Google and Microsoft.

Changes and contact

We will update this policy if the cookies we use change. Questions about cookies or your personal data can be sent to privacy@securitise.uk.
