Cookie Policy

This policy explains what cookies are, which cookies granelod.info uses, why they are used, and how you can manage or withdraw your consent at any time. It is read alongside the Privacy Policy.

01 / What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a web server when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to store certain information about your browsing session. Cookies do not execute code and cannot carry viruses.

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR, websites operating in the United Kingdom are required to obtain informed consent before placing non-essential cookies on a visitor's device. Granelod complies with this requirement through the cookie consent mechanism presented on first visit.

02 / Cookie Categories
Strictly Necessary No consent required

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and the operation of the cookie consent mechanism itself. They cannot be disabled without significantly impairing site functionality.

— Session state cookies (duration: session)
— Cookie consent preference record (duration: 12 months)
Functional Consent required

Functional cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience, such as preferred display settings or previously entered form data. They are not used to track you across third-party websites.

— Display preference identifiers (duration: 30 days)
Analytics Consent required

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors interact with granelod.info — including which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, and how they arrived. This data is aggregated and anonymised before analysis. It is used solely to improve site content and structure.

Granelod uses a privacy-respecting analytics configuration. Individual-level tracking, cross-site profiling, and advertising targeting are not conducted.

— Page view tracking (duration: 13 months, then anonymised)
— Referral source record (duration: session)
Third-Party Embeds Consent required

The contact page of granelod.info includes an embedded Google Maps frame showing the office location. When this content is loaded, Google may set cookies on your device subject to Google's own privacy and cookie policies. Granelod does not control the cookies set by third-party embeds.

— Google Maps embed (subject to Google cookie policy)
03 / Managing Your Preferences

When you first visit granelod.info, a cookie consent banner is presented. You may accept all cookies, accept only functional cookies, or accept only strictly necessary cookies. Your preference is recorded and the banner will not reappear for twelve months.

You may update your preferences at any time by clicking the link below or via the "Cookie Settings" link in the site footer.

04 / Browser-Level Controls

In addition to the site consent mechanism, all modern browsers allow cookies to be managed or blocked at the browser level. The following links provide guidance for major browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
  • Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions > Cookies

Disabling all cookies via your browser may impair the functionality of certain site features, including the cookie consent preference memory. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be blocked without affecting core site operation.

05 / Policy Updates

This Cookie Policy is reviewed and updated as needed when changes are made to the cookies used on granelod.info or when relevant legislation is amended. Material changes will be indicated by an updated date in the page header. If changes affect the consent basis for a cookie category, the consent banner will be re-presented to existing visitors.

For questions about this policy, contact [email protected].
