Cookie Policy

This policy explains how Pharos IX Limited uses cookies and similar technologies on www.pharosix.co.uk, what they do and how you can choose whether optional technologies operate. Read it alongside our Privacy Policy for information about personal data, recipients, overseas processing and your rights.

Our registered address is Level One, Basecamp Liverpool 49, Jamaica Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, England, L1 0AH. For questions, contact [email protected].

Cookies are small files placed on your device. Similar technologies include browser storage, pixels and tags that store or access device information. They may remember a choice, support a requested feature, measure use of the site or support advertising. The rules depend on their purpose, not simply their name or whether they contain personal data.

Session cookies normally last for a browsing session. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry or deletion. Browser behaviour can affect session restoration. Other storage may remain until cleared unless an expiry mechanism is implemented. First-party technologies relate to our site; third-party technologies involve another provider.

Strictly necessary technologies support services you request, security or recording your cookie choice. They do not require consent where the relevant legal exception applies. We do not treat something as necessary merely because it benefits our business.

Our approach is to request permission before optional analytics, advertising and non-essential embedded content operate. Analytics helps us understand use of the site. Advertising technology measures campaigns and may support targeting. Embedded services can supply features such as video or other third-party content. Only technologies actually listed in the completed inventory below form part of this policy.

You can accept all optional purposes, reject all optional purposes, or choose separately through the settings panel. Scrolling, continuing to browse or leaving the banner unanswered does not signify consent. You can browse our main pages and contact us without agreeing to optional advertising or analytics.

The detailed inventory of cookies and similar technologies used on this website is being finalised. It will set out each technology's identifier, provider, specific purpose, category, storage duration and whether consent is required. This section will be updated once the inventory has been verified and approved.

The inventory will explain which technologies we use and for how long. A category description alone is not a substitute for these details. Cookie lifetimes are separate from the retention of information received by providers and from our general business-record retention period.

You can review your choices or withdraw optional consent using the Cookie settings control on this website. Withdrawing consent stops future optional storage and access covered by that choice; it does not make earlier lawful processing unlawful. We remove optional cookies under our control where technically possible. Third-party cookies may also need removal through your browser or the provider's controls.

Your browser settings can delete cookies or block storage. Blocking necessary technologies may affect requested features. Browser controls supplement, rather than replace, the choice offered on our site. Choices may need to be made again on another browser or device, after clearing storage, or when the consent record expires.

Where an optional embedded feature needs consent, it stays inactive until you choose to enable it. You can decline and use the alternative contact route where the feature cannot operate without that technology. Visiting a third-party site through a link brings its own privacy and cookie arrangements into scope.

The inventory specifies the actual storage duration for each technology. We explain and record consent choices for as long as necessary to honour them and demonstrate the applicable choice. A six-year business-record retention default does not mean that cookies remain on your device for six years or that your consent lasts that long.

Where these technologies involve personal information, our Privacy Policy and the identified providers' notices explain the relevant processing. Contact us if you need more information about a provider or international transfer safeguards.

We update this policy when the site's technologies, purposes or providers change. Where a new purpose needs consent, we ask before using the technology for that purpose. Email [email protected] with any questions or concerns.
