Cookies Policy

Last updated: 2024

This Cookies Policy explains how Urbanplacechecklist ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies on this website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. This policy is written to comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), as enforced in the United Kingdom by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

1. What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit it. Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as choices you have made. They cannot access other data on your device and cannot run programs.

2. The Cookie We Use

Urbanplacechecklist takes a minimal approach to cookies. This website sets only one cookie. We do not use analytics tools, tracking pixels, session cookies or any other cookie beyond the one described below.

Cookie name Purpose Duration Category
cookie_choice_v1 Stores the choice you make in our cookie banner (accept or decline), so we do not ask you again on every visit and so we can respect your preference regarding optional cookies. 1 year Essential

We do not set, and this website does not use, any analytics cookies (for example Google Analytics or similar tools), social media cookies, or session identifiers of any kind. If any future changes to this website introduce additional cookies, this policy will be updated in advance and the table above will be revised accordingly.

3. Essential vs Optional Cookies

Under PECR, cookies are broadly divided into two categories:

4. Advertising Measurement Cookies

Urbanplacechecklist does not run advertising measurement by default. Advertising measurement code is loaded only in the following circumstances:

If either condition is not met, no advertising or third-party measurement code runs anywhere on this site. If you decline consent, the confirmation page will load without any advertising measurement activity, and your visit will not be shared with any third-party advertising service.

5. How to Change or Withdraw Your Consent

You can change your cookie preference at any time in the following ways:

Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of anything that occurred while consent was in place, but will prevent advertising measurement from running on future visits until you consent again.

6. Your Rights Under UK Data Protection Law

Because cookie_choice_v1 may constitute personal data under the UK GDPR, you have rights including the right to request access to, correction of, or erasure of this data, and the right to object to its use. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent supervisory authority for data protection matters.
