Managing Your Cookie Preferences
On your first visit, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time via the cookie settings link in the Site footer.
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies; however, disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect Site functionality, such as the ability to complete a purchase.
We use the cookie bar provided by the SEOPress WordPress plugin to manage user consent for non‑essential cookies (such as analytics and advertising cookies). The cookie bar is configured so that analytics and marketing tags only fire after you click “Accept”, and are blocked if you reject or close the banner in line with UK GDPR and PECR requirements.
Where SEOPress is integrated with Google Analytics and Google Ads, we also use its Google Consent Mode functionality so that Google tags adapt to your consent choice before writing or reading cookies.
Log Files and IP Addresses
Separately from cookies, we use IP addresses to analyse trends, administer the Site, track user movement, and gather broad demographic information in aggregate. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. Our web servers automatically log standard access information, including browser type, access times, URL requested, and referral URL, for systems administration, usage-pattern detection, and troubleshooting. This information is used only within the Company on a need-to-know basis and is not shared with third parties.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal or regulatory reasons. Material changes will be posted on the Site.
