Cookies Policy

Last updated: please check the date shown on this page when you visit.

This Cookies Policy explains how Nijude ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies on this website. We operate from Leeds in the United Kingdom, and we have written this policy to reflect the requirements of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). We have tried to keep it short, accurate and easy to follow.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, tablet or mobile phone when you visit it. They allow a website to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, so that it can respond to you appropriately on later visits. Some cookies are needed for a website to work properly, while others are used for purposes such as measuring advertising. Under PECR, we must tell you clearly what cookies we use and why, and in most cases we must obtain your consent before placing them on your device.

2. The cookie this website sets

We believe in keeping our use of cookies to a minimum. This website sets only one cookie of its own, and we do not set any others. The table below describes it.

Cookie name Purpose Duration Category
cookie_pref Stores the consent choice you make in our cookie banner, so that we remember your decision and do not ask you again on every page. One year Essential

The cookie_pref cookie contains only a record of your consent choice. It does not identify you personally, and it is not used to track your behaviour across this or any other website.

What we do not use

To be clear and transparent, this website does not use analytics cookies. We do not run website analytics tools, and we do not set session cookies or security-token cookies of our own. If this ever changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent before any new cookie is set.

3. Essential and optional cookies

It helps to understand the difference between the two broad types of cookie, because they are treated differently under the law.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are those that are strictly necessary to provide a service you have asked for, or to remember a choice you have made. Under PECR, these do not require your consent. The cookie_pref cookie falls into this category: it exists only to remember whether you have accepted or declined optional cookies, and without it we could not respect your choice from one visit to the next.

Optional cookies

Optional cookies are those that are not strictly necessary for the website to function. These include cookies used for advertising measurement. We will only allow optional cookies to operate if you have actively agreed to them. If you decline, or if you simply make no choice, they will not run. Declining optional cookies will not stop you from reading this website or getting in touch with us.

4. Advertising measurement and third-party cookies

We do not display advertising on this website, and we do not allow advertisers to place cookies on your device for the purpose of showing you targeted adverts as you browse.

We do, however, measure the effectiveness of our own advertising. This measurement runs only after you have given consent, and only on our confirmation page, which is the page you reach after completing an action such as registering your interest. It is not active on any other page of the website.

Because this measurement may involve technology provided by a third party, we treat it as optional and consent-based:

Third parties that provide measurement technology operate under their own privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy information of any third party whose technology you encounter, and you can always refuse consent in the first place.

5. Your consent and your choices

When you first visit this website, a banner asks whether you accept optional cookies. You can choose to accept or decline. Your choice is recorded in the cookie_pref cookie and is remembered for one year, after which we will ask you again.

How to change or withdraw your consent

You have the right to change your mind at any time. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. You can do this in any of the following ways:

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew it. Please note that if you delete the cookie_pref cookie, we will no longer have a record of your earlier choice and will ask again.

6. Personal data and your rights

The cookie_pref cookie does not itself contain information that identifies you. Where our use of cookies or related technology involves personal data, we process it in line with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Under that law you have rights that include the right to be informed, the right of access, the right to rectification, the right to erasure, the right to restrict or object to processing, and the right to data portability, in each case where the law applies. To exercise any of these rights, or to ask a question about how we use cookies, please contact us using the details in section 8.

7. Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information or your cookie choices, we would like the chance to put things right, so please contact us first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which is the UK's supervisory authority for data protection and for PECR. You can find its contact details on its official website.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time, for example if we change the cookies we use or if the law changes. When we make a material change, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent again. We encourage you to review this page periodically so that you stay informed about how we use cookies.
