5. Future Analytics

6. Managing Cookies

7. Your Consent
Cookies in the UK are governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), not by the UK GDPR alone. Regulation 6 requires your consent before anything is stored on or read from your device, except where doing so is strictly necessary to provide a service you have asked for.
Every cookie listed above falls within that exemption: without them you cannot sign in, hold a session, or pay. So we do not ask for consent, and we set no cookies that would require it. Where personal data sits inside one of these cookies, we handle it as described in our Privacy Policy at /privacy.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
