Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies are, how gridstake.co.uk uses them, and how you can manage your preferences. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described below, except where you have adjusted your browser settings to refuse them.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site operators about how their pages are used. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that appear on the page (third-party cookies).
How We Use Cookies
GridStake uses cookies in the following categories:
Strictly necessary cookies — These are required for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function correctly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
Analytical cookies — These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information about which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, and where traffic originates from. This data is aggregated and anonymised. We use this information to improve our content and site performance.
Functional cookies — These cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as display preferences or previously viewed content, to provide a more personalised experience.
Marketing cookies — These cookies may be set by third-party advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other sites. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still see content, but it may be less relevant to your interests.
Specific Cookies We Use
The exact cookies in use on our site may change as we update our services and integrations. Common cookies include those set by our analytics provider for traffic measurement, and any cookies associated with embedded content or third-party widgets. Where third-party services set cookies, those services’ own cookie policies apply.
Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways. Most web browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies through the browser settings. Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website.
To manage cookies in common browsers, access the privacy or security section of your browser settings. You can typically choose to block all cookies, accept all cookies, or receive a notification when a cookie is being set so you can decide whether to accept it.
If you use multiple devices or browsers, you will need to adjust settings on each one individually.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services that we use for analytics, performance monitoring, or content delivery. We do not control these cookies. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services whose cookies may appear on our site.
