Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Pledex Group uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, in compliance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over time.

2. Cookies We Use

We use only analytics cookies. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

• Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*) — collects anonymous usage data (pages visited, session duration, referral source) to help us understand how visitors use the site and improve our content. These cookies are only set if you grant analytics consent via our cookie banner.
• Consent storage (pledex_consent_v1) — a local storage entry that remembers your cookie consent decision so we don’t show the banner again. This is set on your device and does not track you.

3. Consent Mode

We use Google Consent Mode v2. By default, analytics storage is denied. When you click “Accept” on our cookie banner, we update your consent to grant analytics storage, and Google Analytics begins collecting anonymous usage data. If you click “Decline” or do not interact, no analytics cookies are set and no usage data is collected.

4. Managing Cookies

You can change your consent decision at any time by clearing your browser’s local storage for this site, which will re-display the cookie banner. You can also block or delete cookies via your browser settings. Note that blocking analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use this website.

5. Third-Party Services

Google Analytics 4 is a third-party service. Google may set its own cookies (_ga, _ga_*) on your device if you grant analytics consent. Google’s privacy policy and data retention settings apply to data collected by Google Analytics. See our Privacy Policy for more information about how we handle personal data.

6. No Advertising Cookies

We do not use advertising cookies, remarketing cookies or cross-site tracking cookies. We do not share analytics data with advertising networks.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “last updated” date indicates when the policy was last revised.
