Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how ukmarketentry (“we”, “us”, and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website at https://ukmarketentry.com. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

Our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), and the Data Protection Act 2018. Where cookies involve the processing of personal data, we do so in accordance with these laws and our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and analytical insights.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, ukmarketentry) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website.

2. Why do we use cookies?

We use both essential (strictly necessary) and non-essential cookies on our website. Under PECR, we may only place non-essential cookies where you have given your prior informed consent. We obtain this consent through our cookie consent banner displayed when you first visit our website.

Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to the AI Market Entry Planner and maintaining session security. These cookies do not require your consent under PECR as they are necessary for the website to function. They cannot be switched off.
Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors interact with our website, so we can measure and improve its performance. We use Google Analytics and Zoho PageSense for this purpose. These cookies collect information such as pages visited and technical data (including anonymised IP addresses). These are non-essential cookies and are only placed on your device where you have provided your consent via our cookie consent banner.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make when you use our site, such as your language preference or previously entered information, to provide a more personalised experience. These are non-essential cookies and are only used where you have consented.

3. Data Collection & Privacy

We respect your privacy. Where cookies collect or process personal data (such as IP addresses or usage identifiers), that data is processed in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, and our Data Protection Policy. We act as the data controller in respect of personal data collected through cookies on our website.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Cookie data that is shared with third-party analytics providers (such as Google and Zoho) is shared only to enable those services to function on our behalf and is governed by their respective privacy policies and data processing terms. Where required, appropriate data processing agreements are in place.

4. How can you control cookies?

Under PECR and the UK GDPR, you have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences in the following ways:

Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You may update your preferences at any time.
Browser Settings: Most web browsers also allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when cookies are being sent. Please refer to your browser’s help documentation for instructions on managing cookies.

Please note that rejecting or disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from accessing the core content and functionality of our website. However, some features — such as personalised experiences or detailed analytics — may not function as intended. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the website to operate.

For further guidance on managing cookies, you may also visit the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) website at ico.org.uk, which provides independent advice on cookies and online privacy.

5. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we use third-party services that may set cookies on your device during your visit to our website. The third-party services we use include:

Google Analytics: Used to collect aggregated, anonymised information about how visitors use our website. Google may use this data in accordance with its own privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Zoho PageSense: Used for website analytics and user behaviour insights to help us improve the performance and user experience of our website. Zoho processes data in accordance with its own privacy policy and applicable data protection laws.

These third-party cookies are classified as non-essential and are only set on your device where you have provided your consent through our cookie consent banner.

6. Updates to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, updates to UK privacy legislation, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Please re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
