Cookies Policy

Last updated: January 2024

This policy explains what cookies are, how sleek-base Ltd uses them on our website, and the choices available to you regarding their use.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They serve various purposes, from remembering your preferences to helping website owners understand how their site is used. Cookies are widely used across the internet and are generally harmless.

Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device for a set period) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser). They can be set by the website you visit ("first-party cookies") or by other services operating through that website ("third-party cookies").

How We Use Cookies

Our website uses cookies for several purposes. We have grouped them into categories based on their function:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms. Without these cookies, certain features of our site would not work properly.

• Cookie consent: Remembers your cookie preference choices so you are not asked repeatedly
• Session management: Maintains your session as you navigate between pages

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information anonymously. The data gathered allows us to improve our site's performance and user experience. We do not use this information to identify individuals.

• Page views: Records which pages you visit and how long you spend on each
• Traffic sources: Identifies how you arrived at our site (search engine, direct visit, referral)
• Site performance: Measures page load times and identifies technical issues

Marketing Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.

Specific Cookies We Use

The following table provides details about the cookies used on our website:

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner appears asking for your consent to use non-essential cookies. You can:

• Accept all cookies: Enables all cookie categories
• Customise preferences: Opens our cookie settings panel where you can enable or disable specific categories
• Reject all: Disables all non-essential cookies, allowing only those strictly necessary for the site to function

You can change your preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in our website footer or by clearing your browser's cookies and revisiting the site.

Browser-Level Controls

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

• View and delete existing cookies
• Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
• Set preferences for specific websites
• Configure the browser to notify you when a cookie is set

The method for managing cookies varies between browsers. Consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions. Be aware that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of many websites, including ours.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services. These companies have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review:

• Google Analytics: Provides website analytics services. Their privacy policy is available on the Google website.

Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your browsing activity tracked. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our site does not currently respond to DNT signals, but you can control tracking through your cookie preferences on our site.

Impact of Refusing Cookies

If you choose to refuse non-essential cookies:

• The core functionality of our website will remain unaffected
• We will be unable to analyse aggregated visitor behaviour to improve our site
• You may see generic rather than personalised content on other websites

Strictly necessary cookies cannot be refused as they are essential for the website to operate.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this cookies policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
