This policy explains what cookies are, how Halliday Styan LLP uses them on our website, hallidaystyan.co.uk (the "Site"), and how you can manage your preferences. This document is integral to our Privacy Policy and should be read alongside it.

This policy was last updated on 19/10/2025.

1. What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small data file (a text file) that is placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device by a website server when you visit. They are commonly used to enable websites to function efficiently, improve user experience, and provide us with insight into how the Site is being used.

2. How We Utilise Cookies

We use cookies for four main purposes on our Site. We do not use any cookies until you have given us consent, except for those that are strictly necessary for the Site's core functionality.

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential)

These are crucial for you to browse the Site and use fundamental features, such as remembering your security state or preserving your cookie consent choices. The Site cannot operate correctly without them. These cookies do not require your explicit consent.

B. Analytical/Performance Cookies

These cookies gather information about how visitors interact with our Site, including which pages are viewed most often, how long a visitor stays on the Site, and if they encounter any error messages. This data helps us monitor and improve the Site's overall performance and design.

C. Functional/Preference Cookies

These allow the Site to recall choices you have made (like your preferred language or region) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They enable the Site to provide tailored functionality to you.

D. Targeting and Marketing Cookies (Third-Party)

These cookies may be set by our advertising partners. They are used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They operate by uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you choose not to allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have full control over which cookies (other than strictly necessary ones) are placed on your device.

Initial Consent

When you first visit our Site, you are presented with a clear banner or pop-up allowing you to either Accept All cookies, Manage Preferences, or Reject All (non-essential) cookies. We will respect your choice.

Browser Settings

You can adjust your cookie settings at any time through the preferences menu of your web browser. Most browsers allow you to:

• See what cookies are set and delete them individually.

• Block third-party cookies.

• Block cookies from specific sites.

• Block all cookies from being set.

Be aware that if you choose to block all non-essential cookies, some parts of our Site’s functionality and performance may be affected, particularly those that rely on preference or performance tracking.

For specific instructions on how to manage cookies, please refer to your browser’s help pages.

4. Third-Party Access to Cookies

We use trusted third-party services (such as external analytics providers) which may place their own cookies on your device. These cookies are governed by the respective third parties' own privacy and cookie policies.

5. Updates to This Policy

We may amend this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the law, our data practices, or our use of cookies. We will publish the updated policy on this page, and the changes will take effect immediately. We encourage you to review this page occasionally.
