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 accounts@pharosix.co.uk.

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 listed in the inventory in section 4 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.

This website uses two technologies. One is strictly necessary and does not require your consent. One is an analytics technology that operates only if you accept.

Strictly necessary — Cookie consent record. Identifier: c2_analytics_consent. Provider: Pharos IX Limited (first party). Purpose: stores your cookie consent choice so the site can honour it and avoid asking again on return visits. Category: strictly necessary. Storage type: browser localStorage. Duration: 365 days from the date of your choice, or until you clear your browser storage. Consent required: no.

Analytics — GoDaddy Signals (SCC C2). Identifier: script loaded from img1.wsimg.com; uses browser localStorage and session state managed by the script. Provider: GoDaddy Operating Company, LLC (third party). Purpose: records how visitors interact with the site, including which pages are viewed and which links or buttons are clicked, to help us understand site use and improve it. Category: analytics. Storage type: browser localStorage and in-session memory. Duration: session and up to 365 days depending on the data point collected by the provider. Consent required: yes. This technology does not load click-event collection until you accept. The script file itself is loaded on page arrival to minimise delay if you accept; no personal data is collected or transmitted until consent is given.

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.

Section 4 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 accounts@pharosix.co.uk with any questions or concerns.
