This Cookie Policy explains how ProPartum Ltd (“ProPartum”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on propartum.org. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally. It reflects the rules in the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR, each as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device and remember information about your visit. In this policy, “cookies” also covers similar storage and access technologies such as pixels, tags, scripts and local storage, which are regulated in the same way
Under UK law, we must not store information on your device, or access information stored on it, without telling you clearly what we are doing and, in most cases, obtaining your consent. There are limited exceptions where consent is not required:
All other cookies — including any third-party analytics used for wider purposes, advertising, or social media and embedded content cookies — are set only with your consent. Non-essential cookies that require consent are blocked by default until you choose to accept them, and withdrawing your consent is as easy as giving it.
The table below sets out the categories of cookies used on propartum.org. [Complete this table from a cookie audit of the live site before publication — list each cookie by name, provider, purpose and duration, and delete any category not in use.]
Enables core functions such as page navigation, security, load balancing and remembering your cookie preferences. The site cannot function properly without these.
Collects aggregated information about how visitors use the site (pages visited, time on page) solely so we can improve it. Data is not shared with anyone except providers helping us make those improvements, and is not used for advertising.
Tracks visitors across websites to measure or deliver advertising. [Delete this row if not used — we currently do not use advertising cookies.]
Where cookies collect information that identifies you (such as your IP address), that information is personal data and is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, including your rights of access, erasure and objection. Statistical information is aggregated and kept only as long as needed to produce the aggregate figures.
This policy reflects UK law. If you are visiting from the European Union, note that EU rules do not include the UK’s statistical and appearance exceptions; where our site is directed at EU visitors, we will ask for consent for analytics cookies in line with EU requirements. [Retain or delete depending on whether the site targets EU users.]
We may update this policy from time to time, for example when we add or remove cookies. The current version will always be available at propartum.org. Questions or concerns can be sent to [privacy@propartum.org]; our Privacy Policy explains how we handle data protection complaints and your right to complain to the Information Commissioner (ico.org.uk).
