Cosylyte (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website at www.cosylyte.com (“Website”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. This policy is designed to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
1. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded onto your computer, smartphone, or other device when you access a website. It allows the website to recognise your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions.
Cookies serve many different purposes, such as letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your user experience. They can also help ensure that the advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
2. Types of cookies we use
We use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them). The cookies we use fall into the following categories:
2.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
2.2 Analytics (Performance) Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
2.3 Marketing (Targeting) Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
3. Specific cookies we use
Important: You must audit your website and replace the example entries below with the actual cookies your site sets. Your cookie management platform (e.g., Cookiebot, OneTrust) can help you generate a full cookie scan.

4. How can you control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences when you first visit our Website through our Cookie Consent Banner. You can also change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Manage Cookie Preferences” link located in the footer of our Website.
4.1 Browser Controls
In addition to our consent banner, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalised to you. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
5. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
