Cookie Policy
Version 1.1 | Last updated: June 2026 | arlieo.co.uk/cookie-policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies arlieo.co.uk uses, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy at arlieo.co.uk/privacy-policy.
We use CookieYes as our consent management platform (CMP). When you first visit, you are presented with a preference panel allowing you to choose which categories of cookies are activated. You can update your preferences at any time via the cookie settings link in the footer of our website.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember preferences, and provide information to website owners about how their sites are used. Cookies may be session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (remaining for a set period). They may be set directly by our website (first-party) or by third-party services we use.
3. Cookie Categories
We group cookies into three categories:
- Strictly necessary: essential for the website to function. Always active; no consent required.
- Performance / analytics: help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it. Require your consent before activation.
- Advertising / targeting: used to deliver relevant advertisements and measure campaign performance. Require your consent before activation. See Section 4.3 for current status.
4. The Cookies We Use
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies and Storage
These are essential for the website to operate and are set without requiring consent. This section also includes one localStorage item set by WordPress, which contains no personal data and is not used for tracking.
| Cookie / item | Set by | Purpose | Type / expiry |
| cookieyes-consent | CookieYes | Stores your cookie consent preferences so we do not ask you again on every visit. | Cookie / 1 year |
| wp_test_cookie | WordPress / Arlieo | A temporary check to confirm your browser accepts cookies. No personal data retained. | Cookie / Session |
| wp_lang | WordPress / Arlieo | Stores the language setting for the website interface. | Cookie / Session |
| wpEmojiSettingsSupports | WordPress / Arlieo | Records whether your browser can display emoji natively, so WordPress knows whether to load a fallback. Contains no personal data and does not track users. | localStorage / Persistent |
4.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics assigns anonymised identifiers to collect this data; we do not use it to identify individual users. These cookies are only set if you accept the Analytics category in our consent panel.
| Cookie / item | Set by | Purpose | Type / expiry |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Assigns an anonymised identifier to each unique visitor, allowing Google Analytics to distinguish users and count unique visits. | Cookie / 2 years |
| _ga_GXSEQEVWZJ | Google Analytics | Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4 and records how you navigate and interact with the website. | Cookie / 2 years |
Google Analytics data is processed by Google Ireland Limited within the EU, and may be transferred onward to Google LLC in the US. Google LLC holds active certification under the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (UK-US Data Bridge), which is the transfer mechanism we rely on for UK-to-US transfers via this service. For more information see policies.google.com/privacy.
Note: The UK’s Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 includes a provision that may remove the consent requirement for analytics cookies that collect only aggregate, non-identifying data. The ICO has not yet issued definitive guidance on the configuration required to rely on this. We will continue to require consent for analytics cookies until that guidance is available and we have confirmed our configuration qualifies.
4.3 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies are not currently active on arlieo.co.uk. When we launch paid advertising campaigns (including Meta and LinkedIn advertising), advertising pixels and associated cookies will be added to this website. This policy will be updated before that happens, and a refreshed consent notice will be displayed so you can update your preferences.
When activated, advertising cookies will only be set with your consent.
5. Third-Party Services
Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services we have integrated. We do not control how those third parties use the data collected via their cookies.
| Third party | Service | Privacy policy |
| Google LLC / Google Ireland Ltd | Google Analytics | policies.google.com/privacy |
| CookieYes Ltd | Consent management platform | cookieyes.com/privacy-policy |
Wordfence (website security) and LiteSpeed (caching) are also installed on this website. Neither sets user-facing cookies under their standard configurations and neither is included in the table above on that basis. If your CookieYes scan detects any cookies from these services, please contact us and we will update this policy.
6. Managing Your Preferences
6.1 Via Our Consent Platform
When you first visit our website, our CookieYes panel allows you to accept or decline each category of non-essential cookies. You can update your preferences at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer. Changes take effect immediately, though some cookies already set may take a short time to clear.
6.2 Via Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies will affect the functionality of many websites. Guidance for common browsers:
- Google Chrome: support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
- Mozilla Firefox: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer
- Safari: support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/safari/sfri11471/mac
- Microsoft Edge: support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/delete-cookies-in-microsoft-edge
6.3 Google Analytics Opt-Out
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
6.4 Advertising Opt-Out (When Active)
Once advertising cookies are activated on our website, you will be able to opt out of interest-based advertising through the account settings of the relevant platforms. We will update this section with specific links at that time.
7. Changes to This Policy
We review this policy regularly and will update it whenever we add, change, or remove cookies. The current version is always available at arlieo.co.uk/cookie-policy. When we activate advertising cookies for the first time, we will update this policy beforehand and display a refreshed consent notice.
