1. 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 and to provide information to website owners.
2. What cookies does this site use?
We only use strictly necessary cookies on this website. We do not use analytics, advertising, tracking, or any other non-essential cookies.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | Maintains your session while you complete the request form and payment process | Session | AESOP Answers |
| Stripe payment cookies | Required to process payment securely through Stripe Checkout | Session / as set by Stripe | Stripe Inc |
3. Why no analytics cookies?
We have deliberately chosen not to use analytics tools. This means we do not need to ask for your consent before setting cookies and your browsing off this site is not tracked for analytical purposes.
If this changes in future, we will update this policy and introduce a cookie consent mechanism before setting any non-essential cookies.
4. Strictly necessary cookies and consent
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent. However, we are required to disclose them, which this policy does.
5. Third-party cookies
When you proceed to payment, you are redirected to Stripe's hosted Checkout page. Stripe may set its own cookies as part of the payment process. These are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy. We have no control over Stripe's cookies.
6. How to manage cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent the payment process from working correctly. For guidance, visit aboutcookies.org.
7. Changes to this policy
If we add new cookies or change our approach, we will update this policy, the effective date and the version number above.
