Cookie Policy
Introduction
This policy explains how this website uses cookies and similar technologies, including browser cookies, local storage, and session storage. It also explains how you can control optional technologies through the site's cookie preference controls.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage and session storage, can also remember settings, protect services, or support measurements about how digital campaign services are used.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.
Types of Cookies We Use
1. Strictly Necessary
These technologies are required for the website to function securely and to remember your privacy settings. They also support core anti-abuse and form-protection controls. These do not require consent under PECR where they are genuinely necessary.
2. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember non-essential choices such as constituency selection on the main domain. These are optional and are only used if you opt in.
3. Analytics and Attribution
Analytics and attribution technologies help us understand campaign QR journeys and related website interactions. These are optional and are only used if you opt in.
Cookies and Similar Technologies We Use
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Category | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | This website | Legacy consent key retained until prior choices are refreshed | Up to 365 days | Strictly necessary | No |
| site-cookie-preferences | This website | Stores your current cookie preference choices | 365 days | Strictly necessary | No |
| constituency-slug | This website | Remembers the constituency selection used on the main domain | 30 days | Functional | Yes |
| qr-scan-id | This website | Links a consenting user's visit back to a campaign QR journey for attribution | 7 days | Analytics and attribution | Yes |
| qr-scan-enriched:* | This website | Session storage key used to avoid repeat QR enrichment requests during the same browser session | Session only | Analytics and attribution | Yes |
When you use one of our protected forms, Google reCAPTCHA may also place cookies or similar technologies needed to distinguish genuine users from automated abuse. These protections are treated as strictly necessary for secure form submission.
Cookie Consent and Management
When you first visit the website, you can choose to accept all optional technologies, reject optional technologies, or customize your settings. Strictly necessary technologies remain active because they are required for the site to operate securely.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by:
- Using the `Manage Cookies` control in the site footer
- Using your browser settings to manage or delete cookies
- Clearing your stored cookies and revisiting the site
Third-Party Cookies
We use Google reCAPTCHA to protect our forms from spam and abuse. This service may set cookies on your device when you interact with protected forms. Google's use of cookies is governed by their own privacy policy, which you can review at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
How to Control Cookies via Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to:
- Block all cookies
- Only accept first-party cookies
- Delete cookies when you close the browser
- Notify you when cookies are set

What Happens If You Reject Optional Technologies
If you reject optional technologies, the site will still function, but some non-essential features will be more limited. For example:
- Your constituency selection may not be remembered on the main domain
- Campaign QR journeys will not be linked back to later website actions for measurement
- You can still use forms, but security technologies such as reCAPTCHA may still be required to protect submissions
