1. About this Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies (e.g. pixels, local storage) are, how we use them on ambookkeepingaccountingltd.co.uk , and how you can manage your preferences.
This Cookies Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy: Privacy Policy – ambookkeepingaccountingltd.co.uk , which sets out how we process personal data, the lawful bases, and your rights.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, maintain sessions, enhance security, remember preferences, and (depending on your settings) enable analytics and marketing.
For simplicity, we refer to cookies and similar technologies collectively as “cookies”.
3. Types of cookies we use
Our website may use the following categories:
A) Essential cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These are required for the website to operate and for core functions (e.g. security, session management, privacy settings). These cookies do not usually require consent.
B) Functional cookies (Preferences)
These help remember your choices (e.g. language, site settings). Depending on configuration, they may require consent.
C) Analytics cookies – “first-party analytics”
Used to measure website usage (e.g. page views, traffic sources) to improve the site. Under the current UK approach and applicable rules, certain “first-party analytics” configurations may be implemented without consent, provided they are limited, proportionate and not used for behavioural advertising.
Note: if analytics is used beyond a limited first-party setup (e.g. advertising features, cross-site tracking), consent will be required as for marketing.
D) Marketing / Advertising cookies
Used for advertising, retargeting and tracking for marketing purposes. These cookies require consent.
4. Consent and lawful basis
- Essential cookies are used because they are necessary for the website to function and to maintain security.
- Functional/analytics/marketing cookies are used based on your preferences set in our cookie banner / consent management tool (CMP), where consent is required.
You can change or withdraw your preferences at any time.
6. Managing cookies
You can manage cookies in three ways:
(1) Cookie banner / CMP settings
Cookie settings are available here: Home – ambookkeepingaccountingltd.co.uk
(2) Browser settings
You can block or delete cookies via your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of the website.
(3) Third-party settings
Some advertising platforms provide additional privacy controls within their own settings.
7. Third-party cookies and providers
Where we use third-party services (e.g. embedded content, plugins, analytics/marketing platforms), those providers may set their own cookies or identifiers. Depending on the setup, they may act as independent controllers or processors. See our Privacy Policy for further details: Privacy Policy – ambookkeepingaccountingltd.co.uk .
8. Retention
Cookies may be:
- session cookies (deleted when you close your browser), or
- persistent cookies (stored for a defined period).
9. International transfers
Where our vendors’ infrastructure or support involves transfers outside the UK, we apply appropriate safeguards as set out in our Privacy Policy: Privacy Policy – ambookkeepingaccountingltd.co.uk
10. Questions, complaints and contact
If you have questions about cookies or privacy, contact:
the person responsible for data protection in our organisation
Email: office.ambookkeeping@gmail.com
We handle data protection complaints internally first. Details of our complaints route are set out in our Privacy Policy: Privacy Policy – ambookkeepingaccountingltd.co.uk. If you remain dissatisfied after our internal response, you may then contact the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office).
