Cookie Policy

Last updated:

This policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on akaba.org.uk, what they do and how you can manage your choices.

For information about how we handle personal information, please read our Privacy Statement .

1. Who operates this website?

This website is operated by Akaba Social UK Ltd. Our contact details appear at the end of this policy.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website. They can help a website remember information about your visit, such as a preference you have selected.

Similar technologies, including local storage, tracking pixels and some scripts, may also store information on your device or access information from it. This policy covers these technologies where they are used on our website.

3. Different types of cookies

  • Session cookies: usually expire when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies: remain until their expiry date or until you delete them.
  • First-party cookies: are set by the website you are visiting.
  • Third-party cookies: are set by another organisation, for example through an embedded feature.

4. Cookie purposes and categories

The categories below explain common uses of cookies. The inventory in section 5 identifies the technologies actually used on this website.

Strictly necessary

These technologies are essential to provide an online service you request or to transmit communications. Depending on their purpose, they may operate without cookie consent.

Preferences and functionality

These technologies remember choices or support additional features. Whether consent is required depends on their specific purpose and the applicable legal requirements.

Statistics and analytics

These technologies measure how visitors use a website. Any analytics used here, and whether it requires consent or operates under an applicable exemption, must be identified in the inventory below.

Marketing and embedded services

These technologies may support advertising, measure campaigns or enable third-party content. Some can allow a provider to recognise your device across different websites.

5. Cookies and technologies used on this website

[Replace the row below with the verified inventory from your website. Include each cookie or similar technology, its provider, purpose, duration and consent requirement. Remove any categories that are not used.]

Name and type Provider Purpose Duration Consent or exemption
[Cookie or technology name] [Provider and domain] [Specific purpose and information used] [Session or exact expiry period] [Consent required, or the applicable exemption and any opt-out arrangements]

[For third-party technologies, add links to the relevant provider privacy information and explain any sharing, profiling or international transfers. Ensure the Privacy Statement includes the corresponding personal data details.]

6. Consent and your choices

Where consent is required, the relevant technology must remain inactive until you make an affirmative choice to allow it.

Continuing to browse, scrolling or closing a banner does not, by itself, give consent.

You can refuse technologies that require consent and withdraw previously given consent. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew it.

[Insert accurate instructions for your consent tool: how to accept, reject, select categories and reopen settings. Add its working preference button or link here.]

If a technology operates under an exemption that requires an opt-out, its opt-out method is explained in the inventory or preference controls.

7. Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies through their privacy or security settings. Instructions are available in your browser’s help menu.

Blocking all cookies may prevent some requested features from working. Deleting cookies may also remove saved preferences, so you may be asked to make your choices again.

Browser controls may not manage every similar technology. Use the website’s preference controls for the technologies they cover.

8. Third-party features

Embedded services can communicate with their providers when they load. This may disclose information such as your IP address and device details, even where no cookie is set.

[Identify the actual embedded maps, videos, chat tools, social media features or other third-party services used on this website, and explain their controls. If none are used, replace this paragraph with an accurate statement.]

If you follow a link to another website, that website’s own privacy and cookie policies apply.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when website technologies, providers or legal requirements change. The latest version will appear on this page with its updated date.

Where a change requires a new consent choice, the relevant consent will be requested before the technology is used.
