UK Cookie Policy & Storage Technology Inventory

PECR & UK GDPR Regulated Active Technologies: 11 Consent Version: v1.0 Last Registry Scan: August 2026

1. What Are Cookies and Storage Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you access websites. Similar storage technologies include Local Storage, Session Storage, IndexedDB, and Attribution Pixels. These tools allow digital services to recognise your device, maintain authenticated security sessions, remember regional and appearance preferences, and compile anonymised performance telemetry.

2. Statutory Governance Framework (PECR & UK GDPR)

In the United Kingdom, storage and access technologies are governed by Regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

Under this framework, optional tracking technologies require prior explicit consent, whereas technologies strictly necessary for providing an explicitly requested service or adapting appearance/functionality to a user's choice qualify for statutory exemptions. We never classify marketing or advertising technologies as strictly necessary.

3. Technology Categories Overview

1. Strictly Necessary Technologies Always Active

2. Functional & Preferences Technologies Optional / Configurable

3. Performance & Analytics Technologies Consent Required
