Cookie Policy

Last updated: 24 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how SETUPROS LTD, trading as SetuprosTech, uses cookies and similar technologies on setuprostech.com.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

Under UK rules, website visitors must be told what cookies are used, what they do and why. Consent must be actively obtained before non-essential cookies are placed. Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are essential to provide a service requested by the visitor.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on a computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when a person visits a website.

Cookies can enable a website to:

  • Recognise a visitor’s device;
  • Remember preferences;
  • Maintain website security;
  • Operate forms and website functions;
  • Understand how visitors use the website; and
  • Support analytics or advertising, where consent has been provided.

This policy also covers similar technologies that store information on, or access information from, a visitor’s device.

3. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies

First-party cookies are placed directly by setuprostech.com.

They may be used for:

  • Website operation;
  • Security;
  • Consent preferences;
  • Form functionality; and
  • Website administration.

Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies are placed by external services used on the website.

These may include:

  • Analytics providers;
  • Embedded-video providers;
  • Advertising platforms;
  • Security providers;
  • Payment providers;
  • Social-media services; and
  • Other integrated technology services.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies.

4. Session and Persistent Cookies

Session cookies

Session cookies normally expire when the browser is closed.

They may be used to:

  • Maintain temporary website functions;
  • Support navigation;
  • Operate forms; or
  • Protect a browsing session.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies remain on the device for a defined period or until they are deleted.

They may be used to:

  • Remember cookie choices;
  • Recognise returning visitors;
  • Store preferences; or
  • Measure website usage over time.

5. Categories of Cookies We May Use

5.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function properly.

They may be used for:

  • Website security;
  • Fraud and abuse prevention;
  • Server-load management;
  • Cookie-consent preferences;
  • Contact-form functionality;
  • Session management; and
  • Essential WordPress features.

These cookies do not require consent where they are genuinely essential to provide the website or a service requested by the visitor.

Disabling them through the browser may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.

5.2 Functional cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices or provide enhanced features.

They may be used to remember:

  • Display preferences;
  • Language preferences;
  • Previously selected settings;
  • Form-related preferences; or
  • Other optional website features.

Functional cookies that are not strictly necessary will only be used after consent has been provided.

5.3 Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website.

They may collect information such as:

  • Pages visited;
  • Time spent on pages;
  • Navigation paths;
  • Referring websites;
  • Browser and device type;
  • Approximate location;
  • Website errors; and
  • General traffic patterns.

We may use this information to improve:

  • Website structure;
  • Page performance;
  • Content;
  • Navigation;
  • Technical reliability; and
  • User experience.

Analytics cookies will not be activated before consent where consent is required. ICO guidance states that analytics cookies are not automatically exempt merely because they are useful to the website operator.

5.4 Marketing and advertising cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to:

  • Measure advertising performance;
  • Limit how often an advertisement is shown;
  • Build advertising audiences;
  • Understand conversions;
  • Display more relevant advertising; or
  • Track visits across websites.

SetuprosTech will not place marketing or advertising cookies unless:

  • The relevant service is installed and active; and
  • The visitor has provided valid consent.

This category may become relevant if SetuprosTech later uses services such as Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising or remarketing tools.

5.5 Embedded-content cookies

Pages may include content supplied by third parties, such as:

  • Videos;
  • Maps;
  • Social-media content;
  • Support tools;
  • Scheduling services; or
  • Other embedded applications.

The external provider may place cookies when the visitor loads or interacts with that content.

Where required, embedded content should remain blocked until the visitor consents to the relevant cookie category.

6. Cookies Used on SetuprosTech

The exact cookies used may change when website plugins, hosting services, analytics tools or other integrations are added, removed or updated.

The table below must be maintained following a cookie scan of the live website.

Important: Do not publish named cookies such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Meta Pixel or advertising cookies unless those services are actually installed.

A cookie scan should be completed after the consent banner and all website plugins are finalised. The resulting cookie names, providers, purposes and durations should then be added to this table.

7. Cookie Consent

When a visitor first accesses the website, a cookie banner or consent-management tool may be displayed.

Visitors should be given clear options to:

  • Accept optional cookies;
  • Reject optional cookies;
  • Select cookie categories;
  • Read this Cookie Policy; and
  • Change their preferences later.

Optional cookies must not be preselected or activated before consent.

Closing or ignoring the banner should not be treated as consent.

Consent should be:

  • Freely given;
  • Specific;
  • Informed;
  • Unambiguous; and
  • Provided through a clear affirmative action.

The website should offer an Accept All and Reject All option with comparable visibility.

8. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies may be placed without consent only where they are essential to:

  • Transmit a communication;
  • Provide a feature specifically requested by the visitor;
  • Protect a requested service;
  • Remember cookie-consent choices; or
  • Operate another genuinely necessary website function.

A cookie is not strictly necessary merely because it is helpful, convenient or useful for analytics or business purposes.

9. Managing or Withdrawing Consent

Visitors may change or withdraw consent at any time.

The website should provide a persistent link or button labelled something similar to:

Cookie Settings

This link may be placed in the footer.

Changing consent should be as easy as giving consent.

After consent is withdrawn:

  • New optional cookies should no longer be placed;
  • Optional technologies should be disabled where technically possible; and
  • Existing cookies may need to be removed through browser settings.

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred lawfully before withdrawal.

10. Browser Controls

Most browsers allow users to:

  • View stored cookies;
  • Delete cookies;
  • Block all cookies;
  • Block third-party cookies;
  • Clear cookies when the browser closes; or
  • Receive warnings before cookies are placed.

Browser controls vary between providers and devices.

Blocking all cookies may affect:

  • Contact forms;
  • Login functions;
  • Consent preferences;
  • Embedded content; and
  • Other website features.

Browser settings do not replace the website’s responsibility to obtain consent before using non-essential cookies.

11. Analytics

SetuprosTech may introduce analytics services to understand website usage and improve performance.

Before activating analytics, we will:

  • Identify the cookies and technologies involved;
  • Classify them correctly;
  • Add them to the cookie register;
  • Configure the consent banner;
  • Prevent them from loading before consent where required; and
  • Update this Cookie Policy.

Analytics information may include general usage and device data. It should not be used to identify visitors unnecessarily.

12. Advertising and Conversion Tracking

SetuprosTech may later use advertising or conversion-measurement services, including services associated with:

  • Google Ads;
  • Google Merchant Center;
  • Microsoft Advertising; or
  • Other approved advertising platforms.

These technologies will only be activated after:

  • They are correctly installed;
  • The Cookie Policy is updated;
  • Their cookies are identified;
  • The visitor is given clear information; and
  • Appropriate consent is obtained.

Rejecting marketing cookies should not prevent visitors from using the basic website.

13. Contact Forms and Spam Protection

The website uses contact forms to receive enquiries.

Contact-form or security services may use cookies or similar technologies to:

  • Validate submissions;
  • Prevent spam;
  • Protect the website;
  • Detect abuse; or
  • Maintain temporary form functionality.

Where a third-party anti-spam tool uses non-essential tracking, it should not load before the appropriate consent has been provided.

Information entered into a contact form is handled according to our Privacy Policy.

14. Embedded Third-Party Services

Where the website uses an embedded service, the provider may receive information such as:

  • IP address;
  • Device information;
  • Browser information;
  • Referring page;
  • Interaction data; or
  • Existing identifiers held by that provider.

SetuprosTech will review embedded services and, where required:

  • Block them before consent;
  • Display a consent placeholder;
  • Explain the relevant cookie category; and
  • Link to the provider’s privacy information.

15. International Processing

Some cookie and technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, the transfer will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection requirements.

16. Retention and Cookie Duration

Cookies should remain on a visitor’s device only for an appropriate period.

The duration depends on:

  • The cookie’s purpose;
  • Whether it is a session or persistent cookie;
  • The provider’s settings;
  • Security requirements; and
  • Whether the visitor deletes it earlier.

SetuprosTech will review cookie durations and avoid retaining identifiers longer than reasonably necessary.

17. Do Not Track and Similar Signals

Some browsers send “Do Not Track” or similar preference signals.

Technical standards for responding to all such signals are not universally consistent.

Where a recognised and legally required browser-based consent signal applies, SetuprosTech will take reasonable steps to respect it.

Visitors should use the website’s Cookie Settings tool to control available categories.

18. Changes to Website Technologies

Cookies may change when:

  • WordPress is updated;
  • Plugins are installed or removed;
  • The website theme is changed;
  • Security services are introduced;
  • Analytics is activated;
  • Advertising tools are introduced;
  • Forms or embedded services change; or
  • Hosting infrastructure is updated.

We will review and update this Cookie Policy and the consent mechanism when material changes occur.

The ICO recommends documenting cookie use, identifying first- and third-party cookies, recording their duration, reviewing consent settings and maintaining an appropriate review process.

19. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect:

  • Changes to the website;
  • Changes to cookie providers;
  • Changes to legal requirements;
  • New analytics or advertising tools; or
  • Changes to our privacy practices.

The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.

Where a significant change affects consent, visitors may be asked to make their cookie choices again.
