1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They allow websites to remember information about your visit and can be used for purposes such as security, functionality, analytics and advertising.
Cookies can be:
-
Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser; or
-
Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period.
Some cookies are placed by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies), while others may be placed by third-party services operating on the website (third-party cookies).
The term "cookies" in this policy also includes similar technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device.
2. How Pangolyn uses cookies
Pangolyn uses cookies and similar technologies for three main purposes:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function properly and securely.
They may be used to:
-
Maintain website sessions
-
Provide core website functionality
-
Maintain security
-
Detect and prevent malicious traffic
-
Support website performance
-
Remember your cookie preferences
These cookies are generally exempt from consent requirements because they are necessary to provide services you have requested or to operate the website securely.
Analytics cookies
We use analytics technologies, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Pangolyn website.
This helps us understand things such as:
-
How many people visit the website
-
Which pages are visited
-
How visitors find the website
-
How visitors navigate the website
-
General website performance
-
The effectiveness of our marketing
Analytics cookies are not strictly necessary for the operation of the website. We therefore ask for your consent before using them.
Advertising and conversion tracking
Pangolyn may use Google Ads conversion tracking to understand whether visitors who arrive through our advertising subsequently take actions such as submitting an enquiry.
This allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising rather than simply counting clicks.
Advertising and associated tracking technologies are not strictly necessary for the operation of the website and will only be used where the appropriate consent has been obtained.
The ICO confirms that storage and access technologies used for online advertising require consent.
3. Cookies currently used by Pangolyn

-
Interactions with pages and website features

Session and usage information
We use this information to understand website performance and improve the Pangolyn website and our marketing.
Google Analytics is provided by Google and may involve information being processed outside the United Kingdom.
We do not use Google Analytics to deliberately identify individual visitors.
Analytics cookies are only activated where the relevant consent has been provided.
5. Google Ads conversion tracking
Pangolyn may use Google Ads conversion tracking to measure the effectiveness of our online advertising.
For example, we may use conversion tracking to determine whether someone who arrives at the website after clicking a Google advertisement subsequently submits a contact form.
This helps us understand whether our advertising is generating useful enquiries and allows us to improve our advertising campaigns.
Where conversion tracking involves cookies or similar technologies that require consent, these technologies will only be activated after the appropriate consent has been provided.
6. Your cookie choices
When you first visit the Pangolyn website, you may be presented with a cookie banner allowing you to choose whether to accept non-essential cookies.
You can choose to:
-
Accept non-essential cookies;
-
Reject non-essential cookies; or
-
Manage your preferences by cookie category.
You do not have to accept analytics or advertising cookies in order to use the Pangolyn website.
Strictly necessary cookies cannot normally be disabled through the cookie-management system because doing so may prevent essential website functions from operating correctly.
The ICO requires consent for non-essential cookies to involve a clear positive action and states that non-essential cookies should not be set before consent has been obtained.
7. Changing or withdrawing your consent
You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie settings available on the Pangolyn website.
If you withdraw consent, this will prevent relevant non-essential cookies from being used going forward. Depending on the technology involved, cookies that have already been placed on your device may need to be deleted through your browser settings.
CookieYes provides a consent-management facility that allows visitors to revisit their cookie choices.
8. Managing cookies through your browser
Most web browsers allow you to control or delete cookies through their settings.
You can normally configure your browser to:
-
Block cookies;
-
Delete existing cookies;
-
Warn you before cookies are placed; or
-
Allow cookies only from particular websites.
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, including certain essential features of the Pangolyn website.
