1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that can be placed on
your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device
when you visit a website.
They allow websites to store or retrieve information
about your browser, device or previous interactions
with the website. Cookies can be used for a variety
of purposes, including making websites function
correctly, remembering preferences and understanding
how visitors use a website.
Some cookies are placed directly by the website you
are visiting. These are generally referred to as
first-party cookies. Others may be placed by services
provided by another organisation and are commonly
known as third-party cookies.
2. How we use cookies
The Squid Ink website may use cookies and similar
technologies where they are required to operate the
website, maintain its security or provide functionality
requested by a visitor.
We aim to keep the use of cookies proportionate to
the functionality provided by the website.
Where a cookie or similar technology is not strictly
necessary for the operation of the website, we will
obtain consent before using it where consent is
required by applicable law.
3. Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are cookies that are required
for a website or a particular feature of a website to
function correctly.
These can include cookies used for security, maintaining
a user session, remembering privacy choices or enabling
functionality specifically requested by the visitor.
Where strictly necessary cookies are used, they do not
require consent because the website or service could
not provide the requested functionality properly
without them.
4. Analytics cookies
Analytics technologies can be used by website operators
to understand how visitors find and interact with a
website. This can include information such as which
pages are visited, how visitors move around a website
and which parts of a website are used most frequently.
At present, Squid Ink does not intentionally place
non-essential analytics cookies on your device through
this website.
If we introduce analytics services in the future,
this Cookie Policy will be updated and, where required,
those technologies will not be activated until the
appropriate consent has been obtained.
5. Advertising and marketing cookies
Advertising and marketing cookies can be used to
measure advertising campaigns, understand visitor
interests or build audiences for advertising on
other websites and platforms.
At present, Squid Ink does not intentionally use
advertising or behavioural marketing cookies through
this website.
If services such as advertising pixels, conversion
tracking or remarketing technologies are introduced
in the future, we will update this policy and obtain
consent before using them where required.
6. Third-party services
Some functionality on our website may involve
third-party service providers.
For example, our website contact form uses FormSubmit
to transmit enquiries submitted through the website
to Squid Ink.
Third-party providers may process technical information
necessary to deliver their services. Where a third-party
service places non-essential cookies or accesses
information stored on your device, we will obtain
consent where required.
You can find further information about how we handle
personal information in our
Privacy Policy
.
7. Your cookie choices
Where the website uses only cookies that are strictly
necessary to provide functionality requested by you,
we do not need to ask for consent before those cookies
are used.
If we use optional cookies or similar technologies
that require consent, you will be given an appropriate
choice before those technologies are activated.
Where consent is used, you will be able to refuse
optional cookies and withdraw or change your consent
without affecting access to the basic functionality
of the website.
8. Managing cookies through your browser
Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, block
and delete cookies through the browser's privacy
or security settings.
The exact controls available depend on the browser
and device you use. You can normally configure your
browser to block all cookies, block third-party
cookies, delete existing cookies or notify you when
a website attempts to place a cookie.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent
certain websites or features from operating correctly.
9. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when the technologies
or services used by our website change, or where
changes are required to reflect legal or regulatory
requirements.
When this policy is updated, the date shown at the
top of the page will also be updated.
We recommend checking this page periodically if you
want to understand the current use of cookies and
similar technologies on the Squid Ink website.
